Brightside Project opens Dolly Parton’s Storybook Trail in Salem, Ohio

Salem, Ohio (WKBN) — A new boardwalk has opened at Waterworth Memorial Park in Salem.

The Brightside Project Storybook Trail cut the ribbon on Tuesday.

The Brightside Project is part of Dolly Parton’s imaginary library. Trails are a way to encourage each other for reading, outdoor activities, and quality time.

“There are 18 kiosks along the 3/4 mile trail, walking from kiosk to kiosk,” says Lisa Wallace, co-director of Brightside Projects. “Each kiosk features a page of the first story, Wonder Walker, which is a great book about children’s imagination and enjoying nature. I am reading the book page by page.”

Wallace said a kickoff event is also planned for April 22nd.
