Story Walk

Read & Move in the Great Outdoors!

Exercise your body and your mind at the same time. Grab your family and take a walk around the perimeter of Shenandoah Park for an interactive literary experience. Its easy to follow along, get started by locating display one and continue in numerical order until you finish the story. Each display has two book pages and a fun movement activity for you to try. A different book is featured quarterly. The American Canyon Click StoryWalk® installation is at Shenandoah Park located at 100 Sonoma Creek Way, American Canyon.
