Fun Things To Do, On the Cheap

I am putting together a business newsletter for employees, and the main focus for Spring/Summer is doing things by yourself or with family and/or friends (not being a couch potato). But with the economy the way it is many people are looking for fun things to do that are affordable for the lower income set. Things that won't cost a ton in entrance fees, or fuel to get there. Some ideas we've had are the Bio Park, Public swimming pools, picnics and get-togethers at the local parks, and trail hiking (though we've no idea what trails to suggest), anyone have any good ideas, and info? Input greatly appreciated!
