Looking for a way to indulge in the glorious fall weather and Halloween festivities, my 3-year-old daughter and I ventured out to meet one of her friends at Toyosu on Sunday afternoon.
Our destination of the day was The Third Park, an American barbecue spot featuring outdoor grilling with all food and implements provided. I have to say, I am not particularly outdoorsy and probably the last person to suggest grilling or camping, but this seemed manageable. And it turned out to be one of the most enjoyable, stress-free dining experiences with a young child I have had yet, a refreshing departure from the sometimes rather nerve-racking experience of vainly trying to convince my little girl that, yes, it is a brilliant idea to sit and eat for hours on end.
Luckily for her, at The Third Park, roaming is of the essence. Nestled in 16,000 sq. meters of grassy land are 86 barbecue sites, each with their own grill, and some even equipped with tents or trailers for overnight stays. Scattered with shabby-chic shipping containers and with a vintage vibe, The Third Park invites visitors to wander and explore — perfect for restless little ones.
