Hello,
Check out hte storytimes at the library, my children liked them. Also, Patterson park has many different hings for a low cost. Check out the Rutherford Parent magazine to see what all there is. It will be listed by county and place. THe playground onthe Greeneway is the best toddler one I've been to. The others are too big or have the sand that is nasty. You could probably use school playgrounds over the weekends or day s that they are out. THe play area in Stones River mall was a hit withthe 17 month old that I babysit.Hop it helps.
