About

Welcome to Destination Discovery, an exciting program hosted at the Joyner Park Community Center in partnership with GiGi’s Playhouse. This initiative is specifically designed to facilitate learning through the power of purposeful play. By focusing on the development of essential fine and gross motor skills, as well as enhancing social interaction and language abilities, we provide a supportive environment where children can thrive while having fun with their peers.

This engaging program is perfectly tailored for youth between the ages of 5 and 14. Beyond the direct developmental benefits for participants, Destination Discovery serves as a vital hub for local families to connect, share valuable experiences, and cultivate lasting community relationships in a welcoming setting. Our structured activities ensure that every session is both educational and deeply enjoyable for all involved.

We invite you to be part of our growing community during our recurring sessions held on the third Friday of every month. Please visit the Wake Forest Rec Desk online portal to view the full calendar and secure your registration. We look forward to seeing you there for a session of discovery and connection.
