About these meet-ups
These are relaxed, screen-free meet-ups — a chance for the kids to run, climb, splash and explore outside while we connect as parents. There's no agenda and no RSVP needed beyond fournorms.com: pop in late, leave early, or stay the whole time, whatever your day allows. Every location is free. Bring water, sunscreen and a snack, dress for the weather, and new faces are always welcome — bring a friend!

Playgrounds plus a marsh boardwalk. Point of Rocks has playgrounds for big kids and toddlers, a cool boardwalk over the tidal marsh, and easy trails with views of the Appomattox River.

Good to know — Parking: ample on-site lot. Restrooms: on site. Tip: walk the boardwalk to spot birds and turtles after some playground time. Come when you can and stay as long as you'd like.
