Visitors to Waterfront Park will now be able to watch videos accessible by using their smartphones to scan QR codes psoted on signs along the park's tarils. City staff will be on hand to assist people with scanning in the codes on their mobile devices.

The short videos feature information presented by local officials on topics such as the history of the Intracoastal Waterway, gopher tortoises, Florida's native plants, manatees and the park’s new Flight of Life heron sculptures.

“This is the city’s second set of permanent QR Code stations, with the first being along Graham Swamp Trail,” said Palm Coast Urban Forester Carol Bennett. “Stopping at the stations to watch a quick and informative video is a fun way to explore our parks and trails. Many people have smartphones today, and kids love the combination of technology and being outdoors to learn more about their natural surroundings.”
