We enlisted the help of our intrepid explorers in schools across the county to sketch their dinosaurs travelling actively or sustainably for our Dino T-Reks trails. They drew amazing dinosaurs, from a stegosaurus on a scooter, to a brontosaurus on a bike. New species of dinosaurs were discovered on the way!
After schoolchildren submitted their drawings, these prehistoric prowlers have now been unleashed into the (Jurassic) parks of Leicestershire for families to find!
In the spirit of sustainable travel, we’d love for you to travel to our T-Reks by bus, or by walking, cycling, or wheeling! Click on the links above to find walking routes and bus stops for each park.
Or, explore the different methods across our website, or use our Journey Planner to plan your expedition.


By signing up with BetterPoints, you can earn rewards for your trips! Collect points by travelling sustainably (sharing cars, cycling, walking or wheeling), to then spend on high street vouchers or donate money to charity.
Why not combine the two to get the most out of your journey?
Join in on the fun with other families at our launch events! Bring friends and family to the parks – meet the Choose How You Move team and enjoy the walk together!
