About

Welcome to Destination Discovery, an engaging program hosted at the Joyner Park Community Center in partnership with GiGi's Playhouse. We believe that play is the ultimate catalyst for growth, blending fun and learning to support the development of essential fine motor, gross motor, social, and language skills. Through purposeful play activities and meaningful peer-to-peer interactions, children are encouraged to build confidence in a casual, supportive environment. This initiative is specifically designed for participants between the ages of 5 and 14, providing a unique space for families to connect, share personal experiences, and foster lasting relationships within our vibrant community.

We invite you to join us for these impactful sessions, which are held consistently on the third Friday of every month. Please note that additional summer sessions will be available during select first Mondays throughout 2026. This is a wonderful opportunity to enhance your child's developmental journey while enjoying an afternoon of discovery and friendship. To secure your child's spot in this popular program, please visit the Wake Forest Rec Desk online to complete the registration process today.
