I can remember playing with the kids in the park.

I remember seeing the flying saucer

And what about:

I will remember to call him.

But: I remembered to do pick up the kids at school. ---> correct??

I remembered to pick up the kids at school

They are technically correct but it would depend on the context. You are right in that "remember" + "to" is often about responsibilities or duties (such as picking up your kids at school) but in another situation that same context could be about the mental action of remembering or not remembering ("remember" + "ing"): I remember picking up the kids at school but I can't remember what I did after that!

Oh boy!
