About Triangle TRACKS
Tools, Resources and Activities for Carolina Kids
The idea to launch Triangle TRACKS came to me in January 2008, as I contemplated how to entertain my three children during their winter track-out break, which came on the heels of a nearly two-week Christmas break. My kids attend year-round school and have three-week breaks after completing each academic quarter, so we look for fun things to do during these breaks throughout the year.
As I thought about places we could go and things we could do, I found myself wishing there was ONE website that consolidated ALL of the local resources for children in the Triangle, so I could visit it daily to find fun events and activities for children.
Then it hit me... I could create this site myself! I came up with the name, then got to work researching various categories, such as camps, schools, museums, parks, birthday party venues and youth sports leagues. As I searched for resources within those categories, I stumbled upon new categories I had not yet thought of, like clubs, trends, family restaurants, children's photographers, hiking trails and more. Even now, I add new links under the various Triangle TRACKS categories nearly every week. There's so much here for children to do and experience! We truly live in an amazing place.
I maintain this site as a hobby, and spend the rest of my spare time freelance writing and editing, and volunteering at my children's schools. For several years I worked from home as a local magazine editor, but last November I decided to return to freelancing to enable more flexible hours so I could spend more time with my family.
I hope you find Triangle TRACKS helpful for your family. In the future, I plan to launch TRACKS sites for Charlotte, Asheville, Columbia, S.C., and Charleston, S.C. (That's still a long ways off!)
