It was an exciting day for Allesandra Kimble, her mom Celina, and Aunt Heather Kaessen as Avon opened the new Story Time Trail and History Walk at Every Child’s Playground adjacent to the Aquatic Center along Detroit Road.
The City of Avon celebrated the opening of its new Story Time Trail and History Walk at the site of the new ‘Every Child’s Playground’ adjacent to the Aquatic Center along Detroit Road the morning of Sat., April 14.
Mayor Bryan Jensen was joined by Rosie Parks of the Parks Foundation and other dignitaries to cut the red ribbon that inaugurated the Story Time Trail.
Children then gathered under a tent to have stories read to them. Rosie Parks read the first book, followed by stories from Kelsey DeCoste of the Avon Library Branch of Lorain County.
Land for the walkway and trail was donated by Parks, who said, “I grew up in Avon, so this is important to us!” as she joined Mayor Jensen as kids circled the trail for its first official lap of wooded fun.
