Asheville Parks & Recreation (APR) brings Truck City AVL to Tanger Outlets Asheville from 1-4 pm on Saturday, April 12. This community event is open to the public and free to attend. Kids (and adults) can sit in, explore, touch, and ask questions about their favorite trucks and cars – from rescue vehicles and public works equipment to utility tractors and construction machines and more! A quiet hour (no horn honking) is scheduled from 1-2 pm to provide a positive experience for those with autism, dementia, PTSD, hyposensitivity, and other sensory considerations.
With over 40 vehicles, community members should plan plenty of time to explore trucks of all shapes and sizes. APR’s play experts have created multiple truck- and transportation-themed activities in the Rec n Roll Mobile Play Zone featuring games, a kids’ driving course, a roaming railroad trackless train for riding, giveaways, and more.
