Picture Paths

Picture Paths

Walk, talk, read and play together with our Picture Paths in local parks!

Picture Paths are displays installed on walking paths that feature a children’s story book, educational information and suggested activities to do while on your walk. They are meant to be interactive and enjoyed by children with their family and friends.

When you walk the path in one direction, you can read a picture book and do fun activities. An activity might involve hopping like a frog to the next sign, counting the number of flowers on a page, or looking around your surroundings for something blue. The stories alternate each month. 

When you walk the path in the other direction, there is educational information about trees and animals that may live nearby. There are also additional activities when walking this direction.
