Book Walks

Take a Book Walk through the Park

Enjoy reading a book outside with your family! 

Look for the numbered signs at the park listed below, then follow the path with your family. The Book Walk features one page of a story on an outdoor sign. As families walk along the path, parents and caregivers are invited to read each page aloud to their children.
