Playful Paths
Grassy Creek Regional Park (Indianapolis, Indiana) is situated on 152 acres of forest, wetlands and sedge meadow. It's a beautiful, natural setting with numerous hiking and walking trails. Thanks to new PlayTrails Fun Facts signs, it's also a place for families to learn about nature in a playful way!
With the help of a recreational trail program grant from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Indy Parks and Recreation installed four signs: Birds, Trees, Pond Life and Leaves. Each sign features fun facts about the habitat or natural element, as well as a playful game or activity for children and families to enjoy along the trail.
GameTime offers 13 PlayTrails Fun Facts signs, as well as three electronic sound panels that feature realistic water and animal sounds. They add a playful and educational element to any nature trail, walking path or greenway.
