SAN RAMON, CA — Running out of creative ways to spend your days in quarantine? The City of San Ramon has compiled a list of suggestions for all ages, dubbed its Virtual Recreation Center. Need some fresh air? Try out the city's Easy2Hike app with information about 39 local trails. While you're at it, participate in the Trails Challenge. State and East Bay Regional Park trails remain open too, but bring your hand sanitizer, the city said. Be sure to keep six feet of distance between yourself and others. Need some visual stimulation? Check out the city's Online Public Art Map and visit your favorite installations in person. Couch potatoes and homebodies rejoice: the Virtual Rec Center has options for you too. E-books and other activities are free thanks to the Contra Costa County Library. Virtual tours are available of National Parks, the Monterey Bay Aquarium and museums worldwide. For parents, there are tips to create an indoor scavenger hunt, Kidz Bop dance and yoga class for kids. The best part? All you need to visit the virtual rec center is an internet connection and a keyboard. Visit the Virtual Recreation Center here.
