Lynchburg Macaroni KID has been busy in the Lynchburg area during late December and January, bringing you videos on our Facebook page from many area parks and playgrounds.
If you don't already follow us on Facebook, it's a good time to start! We share information about many local events and places.
We shared videos from many Christmas displays during December, then switched over the playgrounds and parks after Christmas.
Facebook keeps the videos live on our page for only 30 days, so check these out before they disappear. The earliest videos are no longer on Facebook, but we're leaving the address information up without a link, but have moved the older parks and playgrounds we visited below the current videos.
We've included a link to each video below with the name and address of the park or playground and the date we visited.
You can also access the videos by going to the Lynchburg Macaroni KID Facebook page, clicking on 'Reels' and looking through them all.
