5 Things To Do With Dad This Weekend

Wondering what to do with Dad for Father's Day? Here are "5 Things" to do in the New Milford area with your dad:

1. Go Fishing at Hardcastle Pond behind the Shoprite on Saturday. The annual fishing derby for kids under 17 takes place from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. The Elks will also be on hand with hot dogs and drinks.

2. Celebrate Dad at a Sunday Brunch There's no better place for outdoor ambiance than the Garden Cafe on Henley Avenue. Dad can relax while enjoying the beautiful spring weather and dining on some delicious breakfast dishes.

3. Picnic in the Park Got an outdoorsy dad? Try swimming, hiking and a picnic at Darlington this Father’s Day. Darlington County Park, Mahwah; Swimming is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Park closes at 8 p.m.

4. Take a Family Walk. Enjoy a Father's Day Hike  at the New Jersey Audubon Society’s Weis Ecology Center, 150 Snake Den Road in Ringwood. The 2- to 3-mile hike through the Norcin Green State Forest is free for Fathers, $5 for members, $8 non-members. 

5. Throw a Backyard BBQ Stay home and enjoy quality time with some quality meats—and treats—from United Meat Market on Main Street. Try the marinated flank steak, a customer favorite. Be sure to pick up your meat Saturday since United Meat is closed Sundays.
