Do you have a permanent StoryWalk® Site?
A StoryWalk® is a fun activity that engages families in literacy while walking or hiking. Pages from a children’s book are printed and placed in wood frames along a walkable path. Families have fun reading aloud
together and building a joy of reading while enjoying the outdoors.
CT Storywalk® Program
The CT Storywalk® Program is a partnership initiative of the CT State Library and the CT
Department of Energy and Environmental Protection State Parks.
Children and families are encouraged to visit multiple permanent StoryWalk® sites throughout the state at various CT State Parks and State Forests. Stories at the four StoryWalk® locations will be changed quarterly
for fun all year round.
The CT StoryWalk® program is supported by a generous grant from EBSCO Information Services to the Connecticut Heritage Foundation.
CT StoryWalk® Locations
- Dinosaur State Park & Visitor Center- Rocky Hill, CT
- Goodwin Conservation Education Center- Hampton, CT
- Kellogg Environmental Center Derby, CT
- Meigs Point Nature Center/ Hammonasset Beach State Park, Madison, CT

residents. Tell us about your StoryWalk® site.
