"There are 12 steps to guide,
12 Keys to seek and 12 doors to unlock"
Spark in the Park is a new initiative designed to link various parks within our community to local community groups, offering free educational and fun activities for all age groups.
Our goal is to foster a sense of community, promote physical activity, and provide educational opportunities through interactive sessions and events.
Every week there will be a new set of 12 signs to find in the park. Each sign contains a symbol, Braille letter to decode and a bonus QR code to scan.
Families will start and finish at a community hub, where they will pick up a trail map. Families will walk to the park and look for 12 signs. Together, families will decode the Braille letters using the Braille key, matching the letters to the symbol on the trail map. Find all 12 letters to reveal a secret message / doodle prompt. Return to the community hub and visit Seekers Doodle Station to doodle your doodle prompt. Take a photo of your creation and upload it to Seekers Community Facebook group using the hashtag #SparkInThePark
