StoryWalks
Read a children's book one page at a time as you walk a local trail. Free, and open whenever the park is.

How it works
Walk to each of the 18 reading stations, and the whole family can enjoy a great book together in the beauty of the park.
StoryWalk is a fun way for grown-ups and their children or grandchildren to combine reading and healthy exercise. It's for kids of all ages, free for all Jefferson County residents, and open during normal park hours. Bring your walking shoes and your reading glasses, and try all four trails!
