The Children’s Coalition for Northeast Louisiana wants to encourage movement and reading fun — and this new StoryWalk® is the perfect way to do both! Check out this new feature at Kiroli Park in West Monroe and enjoy an adventure that gets minds and bodies moving.
Introducing a brand-new adventure waiting for families at Kiroli Park — and it’s not just on the playground! The LSU AgCenter has unveiled its latest StoryWalk®, featuring Super YOU! — a vibrant, confidence-boosting children’s story written by Cathy Agan of the LSU AgCenter. This uplifting story invites kids to discover their inner superhero while enjoying the great outdoors.
For just $1.00 admission per person, families can enjoy Kiroli Park’s trails and take part in a reading experience like no other. The StoryWalk® is designed to get families moving and reading together. Pages of the book are displayed along a scenic walking path, encouraging children to read a little, walk a little, and let their imaginations soar with every step.
💪 The “Super” Science Behind StoryWalk®
The concept is simple but powerful — combining literacy and physical activity. Studies show that kids retain information better and are more engaged when learning involves movement. Reading while walking helps strengthen comprehension, boosts creativity, and promotes healthy habits — all while spending quality time together.
Plus, Super YOU! encourages confidence, kindness, and courage — qualities that help kids see that they can be heroes in their own everyday lives.
🌳 Where Learning and Fun Meet
Kiroli Park, already one of Northeast Louisiana’s most beloved family destinations, offers the perfect backdrop for this outdoor reading adventure. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or grandparent, the StoryWalk® offers a fun and affordable way to blend exercise, education, and family connection.
