Get outside and enjoy a storybook stroll at Wake County Parks.


A STORY WALK IS A CONCEPT THAT WAS CREATED BY A CHILDREN'S LIBRARIAN AND FERGUSON FROM THE KELLOGG COVERED LIBRARY. THE BASIC CONCEPT OF IT IS THAT YOU TAKE A CHILDREN'S STORY BOOK AND YOU SEPARATE THE PAGES AND PUT THEM ON SIGNS THAT ARE LOCATED A CERTAIN DISTANCE APART. SO YOU ARE ABLE TO READ THROUGH A CHILDREN'S STORY BOOK WHILE ALSO WALKING THROUGH A PATH OR NATURE TRAIL. SO YOU GET BOTH THE BOOK READ AS GOOD EXPERIENCE BUT YOU ALSO GET TIME OUTSIDE IN NATURE. HERE AT OKAY VIEW WE HAVE SUCH AN IMPORTANT HISTORY THAT WE ALSO TRY TO RELATE THE BOOKS TO ASPECTS OF OAK VIEW'S HISTORY. IN MARCH OUR BOOK WILL RELATE TO WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH SO THE BOOK IS CALLED MARY WEARS WHAT SHE WANTS AND IT'S ACTUALLY ABOUT A REAL HISTORICAL FIGURE, MARY EDWARDS WALKER WHO WAS A 19TH CENTURY ABOLITIONISTS WHO DECIDED TO WEAR PANTS WHICH WAS NOT COMMON DURING THAT TIME PERIOD SO IT'S A REALLY FUN VIBRANT STORY ABOUT THAT DECISION. STORY WALK THEMSELVES ARE USUALLY PRETTY SHORT. WE UNDERSTAND THEY'RE FOR FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN AND VERY STROLLER FRIENDLY AS WELL. SPECIFICALLY HERE AT OAK VIEW OUR WALKS ARE NOT VERY LONG. PROBABLY LESS THAN A QUARTER OF A MILE. AND A FUN FEATURE ABOUT OUR STORY WALK IS THAT WE FINISH IT AT THE GOAT CORRAL. >> WELCOME TO HARRIS LAKE COUNTY PARK. IN MARCH WE WILL BE FEATURING AN OVER AND UNDER IN THE POND STORY WHICH IS A MORE ECHO LOGICAL STORY ABOUT A FAMILY ENJOYING NATURE. WE TRY TO GRAB SOME GREAT STORIES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH EITHER RECREATION, ECOLOGY AND THE ENVIRONMENT OR CULTURE. AND TIE THEM INTO OUR PARK IN SOME WAY. RIGHT NOW IT'S A GREAT WAY TO SPEND TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY SAFELY. WE HAVE LOTS OF ROOM HERE AT HARRIS LAKE AND WE HAVE LOTS OF ACTIVITIES TO OFFER NOT ONLY STORY WALKS AND TRAILS BUT HIKING TRAILS AND WE HAVE A DISK GOLF COURSE, MOUNTAIN BIKE COURSE AND OUR AWESOME PLAYGROUNDS AND NATURAL PLAY AREAS AS WELL. >> WELCOME TO BLUE JAY POINT COUNTY PARK. >> SO BLUE JAY WORKS HARD TO HAVE OUR STORY WALKS IN GENERAL BE IN HABITATS APPROPRIATE TO WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE STORY. SO PEOPLE GET A REALLY GOOD TOUR OF THE PARK AS THEY GO TO THE DIFFERENT STORY WALK AREAS. WE TRY TO CHOOSE BOOKS THAT HAVE SOMETHING INTERESTING FOR A WIDE VARIETY OF AGES. SOMETIMES THE STORY MIGHT BE SIMPLE BUT THE ART WORK IS AMAZING. SOMETIMES THE STORY MAY BE SIMPLE BUT THE THINGS THAT WE'RE ABLE TO ADD TO THE BACK, EXPAND THE STORY WALK AGE APPROPRIATENESS. WE ACTUALLY HAVE DOG WALKERS AND PEOPLE THAT COME AND WALK FOR EXERCISE THAT WALK OUR STORY WALK BACKWARDS TO SEE WHAT'S ON THE BACK OF EACH PAGE BECAUSE THEY HAVE LEARNED THAT THEY'RE FINDING OUT NEW THINGS ALL THE TIME. EVERY STORY WALK IS DIFFERENT. YOU GOT TO COME FIND OUT WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT EACH STORY WALK. . >> IT'S A GREAT LEARNING ACTIVITY FOR ADULTS ESPECIALLY WITH YOUNG CHILDREN TO READ TOGETHER SO IT ENCOURAGES SHARED LEARNING EXPERIENCES. AND IT'S JUST A GREAT WAY TO COME OUT AND EXPERIENCE OUR PARKS. EACH PARK ADVERTISES AND ORGANIZES ITS OWN STORY WALK BUT YOU CAN FIND INFORMATION ABOUT ALL OUR PARKS AND HOW TO GET TO THAT STORY WALK INFORMATION FROM OUR WEBSITE.
