The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Departments's Feature Friday


Each Friday, the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department features something new for residents or visitors to learn more about. This week we have a project alert!

You may have noticed The Boldt Company and their orange fencing at the Lions Park this week, they were installing our new Born Learning Trail! The Boldt Company and United Way have partnered together to donate their latest Born Learning Trail to the Town of Greenville’s Lions Park. With the help of their donors at FastSigns, Corcoran Glass & Paint, Wisconsin Building Supply, and Signarama, this trail has become a major focal point at the park!

Born Learning Trails provide the opportunity for parents and caregivers to engage young children in literacy and language skills through interactive stations. The Born Learning Trail at Lions Park is located along the trail in front of the playground. From start to finish, you’ll find 12 signs and corresponding paint on the ground below. First, a construction worker welcome sign followed by the United Way welcome Sign and 9 activity stations. A Boldt Company dump truck cutout finishes the trail off.

We can’t thank The Boldt Company and their interns enough for all their hard work installing this trail or United Way and all the companies who donated to help make the Greenville Lions Park home to a Born Learning Trail.

Have you been to the Born Leaning Trail yet? Which station was your favorite?
