When did your DC outgrow playgrounds and parks?

Very stuck on what to do with DC aged 11 and 9 this half term.

One DC has ASD and does not like to leave the house. I can hear the giggles of the neighbours young children frolicking in the sun whilst my DC are pinging away on video games Hmm

(One DC has been out all morning with friends and the other has done puzzles, some reading etc so they haven’t been on screens all day).

The weather is meant to be glorious tomorrow but I’m at a total loss of what to do.

DC with ASD hates crowds, parks, playgrounds etc. I think they’re sick of these things anyway after lockdown. DC with ASD will not go for walks.

Neither DC wants to do trampolining or crazy golf and they’ve outgrown soft play.

What is everyone with older children doing?

The pool takes up most of our garden...but it's worth it!

Geocaching is quite good for giving a 'point' to a walk. And it can satisfy the tech-itch that needs scratching.
