Forest Grove Parks & Recreation is kicking off a month of holiday cheer at Stites Park with a brand-new Story Walk installation, a playful Elf Hunt along the trail, and a festive community photo contest!
📘 Holiday Story Walk
Stroll the walking trail at Stites Park and enjoy our seasonal Story Walk featuring The Elf On The Shelf by Written by Carol V. Aebersold and Chanda A. Bell, Illustrated by Coë Steinwart. Each page is displayed along the path, making it a fun, family-friendly activity all month long.
