‘Roarsome’ walking trails around Leicester!
Looking for a fun, free activity to do with the kids this summer?
Leicestershire parks are going Jurassic this summer with ‘roarsome’ new dinosaur artwork created by local children.
A series of ‘Dino T-Reks’ walking trails will launch on Wednesday, 16 July and will be free to use in 14 Leicestershire parks during the summer holidays.
As families walk, scoot, or cycle their way along the trails, they can spot up to eight dino markers, scan QR codes with their phones to collect letters, spell a mystery word and enter a draw to win a prize donated by a local business.
The free dino walking trails will be found in:
Watermead Country Park, Market Bosworth Country Park, Snibston Country Park in Coalville, Forest East Park in LFE, Welland Park in Market Harborough, Melton Country Park, Spital Playing Field in Castle Donington, Blaby Road Park, Jubilee Park in Enderby, Queen’s Park in Loughborough, Hollycroft Park in Hinckley, Bottesford Park and Everards Meadows near Fosse Park.
The trails will launch at a family event on 16 July at Melton Country Park which will include information about sustainable travel and activities such as a make-your-own smoothie bike.
