A PLACE FOR ALL TO HAVE FUN
Braden Walker • August 3, 2017
Austin RV Park North prides itself on being a family-friendly destination, so when we see something in the area that families will want to know about, we make sure to highlight it. The Austin area has some great activities and events for the whole family to participate in, but one of the most exciting and unique ones is the Play for All Abilities Park in Round Rock.
The Play for All Abilities Park was created to allow all children, regardless of ability, to participate in play activities that would help them develop skills and feel like a part of the community. Over 51,000 square feet of playground has been adapted to address many of the skills kids need to develop. Different “pods” allow for sensory experiences and retreat time. There is a playscape for all abilities as well as swings for all abilities. There’s even a life skills area. The various areas of the park were designed to stimulate and support important skill sets, including gross and fine motor skills, social interaction, sense of discovery, creativity, and strengthening exercises.
Whether using the park for play, therapy, or learning, children who are autistic or disabled now have a place to experience what they can’t on a traditional playground. This was a true joint effort of the community and the City of Round Rock, and both residents and visitors alike are lucky to have access to this great park. You can learn more about the park on their website here .

Halloween is just around the corner, and while you may have already planned your costume and have the bowl of candy prepared, you can’t forget one of the most exciting parts – decorations! Whether you’re living the RV life or will be camping over the holiday, we have some great ideas for ways to make your space “spooktacular”. Lights A tried and true decoration that works for all situations is lighting! There are lights that plug into an outlet, battery-operated and solar-powered, so regardless of your situation, this is one decoration that will work no matter what. String them along the roof or windows or have them line the path to your door for an eerie glow. Hanging Decorations From cobwebs and spiders to creepy skeletons and ghosts, there are lots of hanging options to frighten passersby. You can even transform your door with a spooky door cover. Whether pre-made or handmade, visitors will be convinced they’re taking a step into a haunted house. Pumpkins Halloween wouldn’t be Halloween without a few glowing Jack-o-lanterns. You can go for a creepy skeleton or a goofy grin! But if carving a pumpkin isn’t your thing, you can try your hand at painting for an equally fantastic look. We hope these ideas help you in creating a truly spooky space this Halloween! Make Austin RV Park North your home base to explore what the area has to offer!

One of the best things about summer is spending time outdoors and soaking up some sun. However, too much fun in the sun can be harmful to your skin, and the Texas heat is no joke. While the Texas skies make for some beautiful sunsets and stargazing, it also means less shade and more blazing sun during the day. Here are a few tips to make sure you stay protected because nothing ruins a great trip like a horrible sunburn! During your stay, make sure you’ve packed plenty of sunscreen with a minimum 30 SPF and that you reapply throughout the day. Technically, sunscreen is not waterproof and can easily wash off after too much time in the water or extensive sweating. And don’t let those clouds deceive you! Many people forgo their sunscreen just because it’s a little overcast, which can be just as dangerous. To be safe, apply sunscreen any time you will be outdoors. Despite the sunscreen, some people naturally burn more than others. When this happens, aloe vera is a great treatment to help soothe the burn. The natural cooling effect will ease the pain while also assisting in the healing process so you can get back outside quicker. For easier application, look for a spray on version rather than a lotion. The sun isn’t the only thing that can come for your skin during these Texas summers. We also bring plenty of bugs and pests such as mosquitos, chiggers, gnats, and ticks. Be sure to apply bug spray after applying your sunscreen to help keep the pesky critters away. During the cooler nights, it is also a good idea to wear long sleeves or pants to help protect your skin while you sleep, especially if you’re outside in a tent.
