Google "Free things to do in [city name]" and I bet you will find a ton.

Take your S to the zoo, park, anywhere kids hang out. Chat with the other parents!
Go see local monuments/landmarks, etc.
Go for a bike ride.
Go to lunch with a friend.
Go to the library.
Volunteer at a shelter/soup kitchen/food bank, anywhere.
Go feed the ducks at the park.
Go to the local museums (do they have a free day? here we have one each month.)
Go hiking/running/sledding/to the beach - depending on where you live.
Join a divorce support group. (This is a great way to meet people!)
Check out meetups.com for your area.

There are a bazillion things you can do, if you stop making excuses and get up and do them.
