        The average dad spends about 6 hours a week with his kids. That’s not perfect, but today’s dads are doing better than the previous generation. PlaygroundDad.com is for the dads who dare to make the most of these 6 sacred hours–no smart phones; no conference calls–just quality time.

        Playground Dad connects this new generation of fathers with the events and products that help them spend better time with their newborn to grade school aged kids.
