Family Fridays: Boxi Park Fun!

April 1, 2019 by Kyle Hamm

There’s a new park in town, and it has fun for all ages! There’s great food, plenty of games, a big dog park for my pup, Thor, an amazing playground for the kids, awesome entertainment, and let’s not forget about the drinks!

 

The concept of Boxi Park is totally unique. It’s constructed of shipping containers that house the bars, restaurants and their stage. The grass mew area in front of the stage is really fun to hang out in and get a bite. Our kids love the live entertainment and dance their way through the mew onto the playground, where we can see them from our picnic table by the stage. Being able to sit in front of a live entertainment stage, eating dinner, and being able to watch the kids run around in the playground is probably my favorite aspect of Boxi Park! Though it is hard to choose favorites…

 

Each time we go to Boxi Park, we never cease to be amazed. The live performances and entertainment are always so much fun. They have performers, from stilt-walkers to magicians, and live entertainment on the stage, from one awesomely artistic DJ to very talented musicians.

 

The playground is huge and has activities for all of my kids. We sit back and relax on the plenteous lounge chairs in the playground area while the kids go wild. They absolutely love it there. And what’s not to love, especially from our point of view? We get to watch the kids have a blast while the wife and I relax with a drink. Then, when they are exhausted of all energy, it’s time to eat.

 

 

The food containers are awesome; we’re all big fans. There are delicious options for all of us to be happy with. Claw and Order has the seafood, and next door is Fowl Play, the family’s favorite spot. Their chicken is delicious! I go for the juicy burgers at The Grill Next Door. Naughty and Nice is a really fun place to eat, too, with their fresh salads on-the-go (you should try their ginger juice shots!) and really yummy doughnuts! Then, we finish off the day with Before It Melts’ signature soft-serve ice cream, and they have all the toppings!

 

There’s no doubt about it, Boxi Park was a hit for the whole family. The entertainment, the food and drinks, and the all-around fun that each one of us had is quite memorable. We haven’t made it over to the volleyball field yet, but that’s been on the books to try out, for sure. The only downfall is that they aren’t open through the whole week, which leaves the kids asking all week long if we’re going to Boxi Park yet! So, from Thursday to Sunday, Boxi Park is most likely where you can find the Hamm Fam.
