WARREN COUNTY, Ohio – Did you know the Warren County Park District is hosting Technology-Free Tuesdays all summer? Every Tuesday, Warren County Park District Naturalist Shannon Pennington will help parents get their kids technology-free and into the natural world, free of charge.
Throughout the summer, Pennington runs fun, family-friendly educational programs at either Armco Park or Landen Deerfield Park that are sure to engage children of all ages. Pennington said the programs alternate weekly between Armco Park and Landen Deerfield Park, making it easy for families living in both southern and northern Warren County to participate in the programs. Pennington explained that this allows Warren County residents the choice to participate in activities at the park closer to their home or participate in the all-Free Tech Tuesdays that are held at both parks. It's a parent's choice.
