Screen-Free Summer Meet-Up Series - Short Pump Park
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!
A morning of splash-and-play. Short Pump Park's spray fountains are perfect for cooling off, and there's a great playground, big grassy fields, and a restored one-room schoolhouse to peek at.
Good to know — Parking: on-site lot. Restrooms: on site. Tip: the fountains run from 9am — bring suits, water shoes and a dry change of clothes. Come when you can and stay as long as everyone's happy.
