Storytime in the Park
Where early literacy and learning
come outside to play!
Storytime in the Park is a partnership between Storytime Village, Inc. and Wichita Parks & Recreation where we bring community leaders together with our youth (target age 3-5 years) for a good book and a snack.
We also infuse physical movement to encourage early literacy and physical health in our communities most vulnerable minds! Storytime in the Park takes place in Naftzger Park every second and fourth Tuesday of the month from May 2026 to October 2026.
While the event is free, parking is $1 per hour.
