Stormy weather postponed the event, which was originally set for Wednesday.

Friday's event will feature healthy snacks, water and children's activities.

The trail, which opened to the public in June, has 10 signs featuring educational activities tucked into the landscape near the playscape and the spray park at Rogers Park.

The trail includes 10 signs that encourage a different learning activity appropriate for young children. For example, the one called "jump clap skip move" pushes parents and children to be active.

"Pretend to move like an animal. Walk like a duck or jump like a frog," the sign says. And the children can leap on a sidewalk painting of a frog or duck-walk atop a painting of a waterfowl.

"By playing and exploring, you help young children get ready for success in school and in life. Together, you can turn everyday moments into learning moments," according to the first Born Learning sign.
