GEORGETOWN, S.C. (WCBD) – On November 13, Georgetown County Parks & Recreation, in partnership with the Kids in Parks program, officially opens three new TRACK Trails designed for children and families. The celebration will kick off with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Rocky Point Landing at 11:00 a.m., followed by a guided hike along the newly dedicated trail in the Rocky Point Community Forest. These TRACK Trails provide visitors with self-guided activity brochures that transform a standard hike into an engaging adventure. One activity, “Types of Trees,” educates children about various oak, maple, and pine trees found along the trail, while “Birds of the Woods and Wetlands” offers identification tips for popular bird species in the area. “With each of our TRACK Trails, we hope to engage children in the joys of outdoor exploration,” said Jason Urroz, Director for Kids in Parks. “Our ultimate goal is to help families fall in love with nature, allowing them to realize the value our parks and public lands hold for their lives.”  In addition to the trail at Rocky Point, Georgetown County now boasts TRACK Trails at 8 Oaks Park in Georgetown and Stables Park in Pawleys Island. Children who participate can log their TRACK Trail adventures at KidsinParks.com to earn prizes that enhance their outdoor experiences. Since its inception, the program has seen over a million TRACK Trail adventures completed by children. “Georgetown County’s three TRACK Trails will encourage visitors and program participants to get outside and make discoveries along the park’s trails”, said T. L. Staub, Outdoor Recreation Coordinator for Georgetown County Parks & Recreation. “The new materials for children will provide great opportunities to learn more about wildlife, plants, and the many unique features of each park site." Kids in Parks is an initiative of the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation.
