White Plains Introduces StoryWalk at Bryant-Mamaroneck Park
The City of White Plains Recreation and Parks Department, in partnership with the White Plains Public Library, introduces StoryWalk at Bryant-Mamaroneck Park. The StoryWalk combines a children’s story with a popular walking route. Children’s books are selected, the pages separated, laminated, and placed along a walking path at regular intervals so readers can follow the story as they walk the route. The StoryWalk is a great opportunity for parents, teachers, and caregivers to provide a fun and healthy activity for young children.
The first featured story is “Stuff! Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” by Steven Kroll, a perfect story to kick off Earth Week. Pinch is a pack rat that does not want to give up the possessions that are cluttering his house, but when he finally is persuaded to sell them at a neighborhood tag sale, he discovers the beauty of recycling. Includes tips on “reducing, reusing, and recycling.”
This month’s StoryWalk will run from Saturday, April 18, through Friday, May 22. Look for updates on the changing stories on the Recreation and Parks Department website.
The Bryant-Mamaroneck Park is located on the corner of Bryant and Mamaroneck Avenues. The park entrance is on the Mamaroneck Avenue side. Parking is available in the City of White Plains Mamaroneck Avenue parking lot (lower level).
About the park: Bryant-Mamaroneck Park opened to the public in October 2014. It offers residents a half-mile looped walking trail in a natural park setting. The property has been owned by the City of White Plains since 1950 and was dedicated as parkland in 1988. It had been a long-standing goal of the City to utilize the parcel as passive parkland that is open and accessible to the public.
