The Lake County Board of County Commissioners will unveil Born Learning Trail signs donated by the United Way of Lake and Sumter Counties in a public ceremony 10 a.m. Tuesday, June 7, at Lake Idamere Park, located at 12335 County Road 448 in Tavares. The public is invited to attend.
The Born Learning Trail is a series of nine interactive signs that offer fun, active learning activities for young children and their families. The signs help parents, caregivers and communities create quality engagement opportunities when out on a stroll or visiting a local playground.
“We are so honored to be working with Lake County on this valuable initiative. The Born Learning Trail signs and activities will add additional educational opportunities for children, foster even more parent involvement, and elevate the value of our incredible trail systems,” said Monica Wofford, CEO of the United Way of Lake and Sumter Counties. “Lake County leaders have been ideal partners in this process and on behalf of the parents and children United Way has the privilege of serving, we are grateful for their efforts.”
The Born Learning Trail signs have been installed at five Lake County parks, including Lake Idamere Park, Minneola Athletic Complex, P.E.A.R Recreation Area, North Lake Regional Park, and East Lake Sports and Community Complex.
