Educational trail for kids coming to Laurel Park
United Way establishing 'Born Learning' in North Hall
0811trails3
Joggers make their way through Wilshire Trails on Monday afternoon past the “born learning” trail signs that give parents activity ideas for their kids while visiting the park. The signs are sponsored by Friends of the Hall County Library System, Gainesville Parks & Recreation and the United Way of Hall County. A similar trail is now planned at Laurel Park, with completion set for early fall.
Parks, playgrounds and trails are a lifeline for many Hall County families looking to escape the hectic trappings of work, after-school activities and constant digital connectivity. They also bring learning opportunities for children as they explore the natural world. The United Way of Hall County hopes to make it easier for parents and kids to play together by building a “Born Learning” trail at Laurel Park in North Hall, a popular destination for boaters, fishers and other outdoor sports.
