The City of Walker will host its first Safety Town program this summer, giving young residents the chance to learn practical safety skills through hands-on activities with local first responders.

Registration is now open, with space limited to 20 participants in the inaugural session.

Safety Town is designed for children between kindergarten and 3rd grade and introduces them to everyday safety topics such as pedestrian awareness, bike safety, fire prevention, and basic first aid. The program uses an interactive “mini city” environment where children practice real-world situations like crossing streets, recognizing traffic signs, and responding to emergencies.

The four half-day program is planned for June 22-25 at Zinser Elementary and will run in morning sessions from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., giving children repeated opportunities to practice safety skills while building confidence and independence. Learn more and register online.
