Family fun in Ecuador during school holidays

Families partake in many activities during school-break which is this time of year in the sierra (mountains). The cheapest and most popular activities are enjoyed at local parks.
Families bring their kids to the bigger ones and spend the entire day there. Carolina park which is probably the most popular has many free activities like basketball, track, huge playground for little ones, football fields, dog playground, tennis courts, etc, etc. There is also cheap food and cheap snacks like cotton candy and ice cream so parents and kids don’t have to eat at the more costly places in this area.
As nice as it is to see families having a good time it is actually overwhelming for people who live in this area (Carolina). It’s quite challenging to jog on the track or on the perimeter of the park because of many people walking around. Quito probably needs another park like Carolina Park but in the south part of the city to lessen some of the congestion.
Museums and concerts are also popular places that residents and tourists enjoy, and many of these events are free courtesy of Quito municipality.
Football camps, swimming lessons and playing instrument courses are also popular to keep kids busy.
There’s something for everyone, but thankfully school starts soon (Sept 6), and it's time for everyone to go back to their normal routine.
