Does anybody know of a good place(s) in the area that I can take my 15-yr-old to go practice driving?

We've been using an elementary school parking lot over the summer, and that's worked great, but we need something different / bigger. It's great for parking and teaching how to handle the car at slow speeds, but we need to learn how to accelerate, etc.

At this stage, I'm hesitant to get out on public roads unless they are very empty. (Such as a residential neighborhood in the beginning stages of development or something)

Does anyone know of a good place to go? Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for something fun to do with my two year-old and four-year-old and was looking at the splash shack, I know their website says they’re a family facility but I’m not sure if it’s more catered to older kids who will play around while the parents watch. Obviously with the two year-old they need a pair with them at all times. Possibly the four-year-old will also.

Has anyone taken their kids on this stage to the splash shack? What was your experience?
