This month, we celebrate Father's Day, which provides children of all ages the opportunity to show extra love for their dads. There are lots of different types of fathers, so there are countless ways to make them feel special. Here are some ideas to celebrate the most popular types of fathers in Woodstock.
The Downtowner
The downtown dad always has the golf cart ready for a ride along Main Street. He loves dinner al fresco while listening to live music and enjoying people watching. A great gift for this dad would be new camp chairs for the upcoming Woodstock Summer Concert Series or a Downtown Dollars gift certificate, which are available in the Woodstock Visitors Center and redeemable at dozens of downtown merchants.
The Mariner
This dad loves being on the water whether it's bustling Lake Allatoona or meandering Little River. He loves the sight of the sun's rays shimmering on the water. Make his day with a boat rental – you can treat him to an excursion on a ski boat, a pontoon boat, wave runners, or even kayaks and paddleboards. Go to VisitWoodstockGa.com/explore to find companies offering rentals at various area locations.
The Thrill Seeker
While thrill seekers may not be so common in other towns, Woodstock is full of them. That's in no small part because of the mountain bike trails at Olde Rope Mill Park. Our trails are beloved by those dads who enjoy the challenge and endorphin rush they experience, as they speed down single-track trails. Consider a gift in dad's honor to SORBA Woodstock, the group that tirelessly builds and maintains Woodstock's trails. Visit SORBAWoodstock.org/donate for more information.
The Sport
Does your dad love a little friendly competition? Spend a day with him at Dupree Park. You can play a full round of disc golf, challenge dad to a tennis match, shoot some hoops, or score points on him in a game of pickleball. There's even a stocked pond, if you want to see who can catch the biggest fish. Learn more about this great park at WoodstockParksAndRec.com.
