Where to go on weekend that is safe?

We go to Brookside Gardens often. It can get somewhat busy, but not so bad that you can't keep 6 feet, you just may have to be attentive in certain areas. PP is correct that no picnics are allowed, but I see people doing them often as long as you sit down to eat, then get up once you're done. I think they just don't want people camping out on picnic blankets for hours on end.

Orchards have also been fine as long as you avoid the petting zoo and playground areas. I don't think reservations are even needed because I've found people spread out naturally and there's plenty of space. I don't know what you mean by "farmland", but again I'd be careful about places with farm animals in pens (like Frying Pan Park or a petting zoo), since kids naturally bunch up around the animals and even if your kids are okay, another kid will inevitably come running up and squeeze right next to yours.

Clark's Elioak Farm was also fun and not too crowded, though if you're not doing playgrounds, you may not like your kids climbing on the same things as other kids).
