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.
