There’s still so much summer left and the days can get long! If you’re running out of stuff to do to keep the family cool and busy, we’ve put together a few ideas below.

The Teen Summer Library Club and Summer Library Club at the Maynard Public Library are in full swing. Track your reading, earn prizes, and take part in fun programs!

Head to Acton where Kids Bowl Free offers a great way to stay active—and air-conditioned! Registered kids get two free games of bowling every day this summer.

Art Signals Studio offers walk-in pottery painting and special kids’ events. Let your little artists paint, create, and take home their own masterpieces.

Cool off with Open Swim at Donoma Gymnastics in Stow, or check out local spray parks:

• Waltham Spray Parks
• Beaver Brook Spray Deck, Belmont
• Gilhoni Park, Marlborough (open until 9PM)
• Philbin Memorial Park & Splash Pad, Hudson (open until 7:30PM)
• Cellucci Park, Hudson
• (These are some favorites but the Town of Maynard has put together a more complete list here. Be sure to check it out for places to splash and swim and other heat advisory tips and guidance)

Pack a picnic and enjoy live music by the Maynard Community Band every Wednesday at 7PM in Memorial Park.

Stay cool and enjoy the rest of the Summer!
