StoryWalk

StoryWalk® is a fun and educational resource for children and adults to enjoy literacy, physical activity and the outdoors all at the same time. A StoryWalk® is a series of signs featuring sequential spreads from a children’s picture book and as you stroll down the trail, you're directed to the next page in the story. Pages from a book will be mounted on posts in City Park allowing visitors to walk along the path, read the story, and participate in engaging learning activities that build essential literacy skills. Another StoryWalk® is located around the downtown square of Clarinda.
