Four Parks, One adventure. 

Each of the themed plaques have a letter or picture on them. You can record the letter on your answer sheet or just draw the picture of your find. (e.g. Giraffe or Lion etc)

The Xplorer Trail challenges can be done at any time – including weekends! The trail routes are pram friendly but some of the plaques may be located away from the surfaced paths. Each trail takes approximately 45 minutes to complete.

Once you’ve received your Xplorer pack, locate the start point (indicated) and find the numbered plaques 1-10 or 1-15 which will have a particular theme, and may involve extra challenges.

Current plaque themes:

Corporation Park – Dinosaur Facts

Queens Park – Savannah animals

Whitehall Park – Inventions

Witton Park – Minibeasts

All year-round active fun for all the family!
