Manatee County Hosts Kid-Friendly Traffic Safety Event at GT Bray Park
Manatee County is set to kick off the new year with an engaging and educational event to promote traffic safety among children. On Saturday, January 11, from 9 AM to Noon, families are invited to GT Bray Park, located at 5502 33rd Avenue Drive West in Bradenton, for a morning filled with fun and informative activities.
The event features a traffic garden, an interactive setup where children can learn essential road safety skills in a controlled, hands-on environment. In addition to these lessons, attendees will have the opportunity to receive free helmets, ensuring that safety extends beyond the event itself.
To add to the excitement, participants can enter to win a sweet treat—free ice cream—as they enjoy the morning's activities. The event underscores the importance of instilling traffic safety habits early, equipping children with the knowledge to navigate roads and pedestrian areas safely. Children can build confidence and develop lifelong safety habits that protect them in real-world situations by learning the basics of road awareness.
Manatee County encourages families to join this valuable initiative, combining fun and education to prioritize community well-being and child safety.
