StoryWalk® - St. Albans Nature Trail
Welcome to StoryWalk®
StoryWalk® is an innovative outdoor reading experience at St. Albans City Park. Along the nature trail, pages from a children’s book are displayed at stations, allowing families to enjoy a story while walking. Designed to promote physical activity, literacy, and family fun, the project initially targets young readers aged 4-7, with plans to add books for older readers in the future.
Where / How to Participate
Join us at St. Albans City Park Nature Trail to experience StoryWalk®! The trail is lined with 18 weather-resistant stations, each presenting a page from a captivating children’s book. The trail is accessible from dawn to dusk year-round, offering an engaging literary journey for children and families.
