Happy National Play Outside Day ActiveRain Community

By
Industry Observer CDRE #01044712

Every year on first Saturday of the month, and this year on Saturday October 4, 2025, we celebrate and enjoy Happy National Play Outside Day.

There is no record indicating origin of the Happy National Play Outside Day started.

We can observe the day frees us from routines, enclosed spaces, and frames of mind. Outdoors fills us with energy, with the fresh air, sunshine, or physical activity, we perk up and become motivated to accomplish things.

Playing outside clears the cobwebs from our brains, sometimes we get stuck on a topic, project, or issue and are unable to resolve, a change of scene often brings clarity we didn't have before.

Playing outdoor provides terrific physical activity for our bodies, our hearts pump fresh oxygen to our limbs and brains, and social activity playing outside encourages positive interactions.

I want to wish to everyone at Active Rain community a Happy National Play Outside Day.

Hmm, I didn't know that it was National Play Outside Day yesterday or perhaps I would have played outside, haha.  Instead, I just did my household chores inside, haha.
