Strawberries (19), apples (62), grapes (30), basil (31), squash (57), tomatoes (63) and the MyPlate symbol (28) represent nutrition and the importance of making your plate half fruits and vegetables. The Poe Center grows many of these vegetables in the Poe n’ Grow Garden, which is located in PlayWELL Park.
PlayWELL Park also allows visitors to get their recommended 60 minutes of physical activity each day and learn about body systems, as well. Kids can climb up a giant skeleton and slide down the arteries of the heart. A giant baseball cap (49) casts some helpful shade, and kids learn about the dangers of sun exposure. Run the path around PlayWELL Park 14 times, and you’ve just run a mile!
