The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department's Feature Friday

Each Friday, the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department features something new for residents and visitors to learn more about. This week, we want to tell you about our Born Learning Trail.

Last summer, The Boldt Company and United Way, along with help from all of their sponsors, partnered together to donate one of their Born Learning Trails to the Town of Greenville’s Lions Park.

Born Learning Trails provide the opportunity for parents and caregivers to engage their 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 you’ll find a construction worker sign along with a United Way welcome sign. Nine activity stations follow. These stations prompt movement, activity, learning and observation all disguised as fun little activities. At the end, you’ll find a Boldt Company dump truck.

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