New Born Learning Trail at Human Kinetics Park

Champaign County’s newest Born Learning Trail is now open at Human Kinetics Park! Born Learning Trails transform everyday experiences into teachable moments for young children and their families. This installation marks the tenth Born Learning Trail in Champaign County thanks to United Way of Champaign County.

The Born Learning Trail is an interactive, paved path featuring signs in English and Spanish that guide families through simple games and activities. These games are designed to make park visits both fun and educational, fostering early childhood learning and development.

“We’re excited to add an additional Born Learning Trail to the Champaign Park District! Similar to our other locations, this addition to Human Kinetics Park will help engage children in playful learning. We are grateful to United Way and Human Kinetics for making this happen for our community!”

Sarah Sandquist

Champaign Park District Executive Director

The trail’s theme is “Watch! Stop! Learn! Play!” This encourages parents and caregivers to engage with their children, nurturing curiosity and confidence while highlighting learning opportunities in daily life.

United Way, the Champaign Park District and Human Kinetics celebrated the Trail’s installation with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday, May 17, 2024.
