The StoryWalk® project enables children and adults to enjoy reading and the outdoors at the same time! Each StoryWalk® includes pages from a picture book displayed on posts set-up in parks or other outdoor recreation areas. As kids and families stroll along the designated walking path, they’ll be able to read-along as the story unfolds, one signpost at a time.
During the first phase of this pilot project, one of two StoryWalk experiences will rotate through four parks and nature areas in greater Yakima. Each StoryWalk® will be available for the public to enjoy between the hours of 10am-6pm, Tuesdays through Sundays, based on the schedule below.
| Yakima Area Arboretum | Kissel Park (Yakima) | Chesterley Park (Yakima) | Randall Park (Yakima) |
| Tues., August 3rd – Sun., August 15th | Tues., August 10th – Sun., August 22nd | Tues., August 24th – Sun, August 29th | |
