It’s Spring! Take a Walk in the Park!

Spring is here, and with the season comes outdoor activities!

 

Within the past year, Granville County got its first Kids in Parks TRACK Trail system. This trail system program, geared for ages 6—12, is located at the Granville Athletic Park (GAP) and is part of a wider network of hiking trails, biking routes, disc golf courses and paddling opportunities. The goal is to promote children’s health and the health of our parks.

 

Children who want to participate in the program can register on the Kids in Parks website at no charge. As children complete different programming at the GAP trail – or at any other location in the network – they can log their participation in to their Kids in Parks passport in their online account. Completing and logging each trail is rewarded with stickers and prizes that arrive in the mail.

 

The adventures offered at the GAP include Need for Trees, Animal Athletes, Nature’s Relationships and Nature’s Hide and Seek. All staff members are encouraged to take their kids to the GAP to participate in this healthy and educational opportunity.

Kids in Parks is a partnership between Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina, the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation, and the National Parks Service.

 

Granville Athletic Park is located at 4615 Belltown Road in Oxford.
