About

Visitors to Hardwick Park in Sedgefield can enjoy new and exciting adventures with the launch of an interactive mobile app.

The free Love Exploring mobile app features digital treasure hunts, suitable for all ages. In one of the most popular, families use augmented reality to ‘catch’ dinosaurs with their camera phone. Once they’ve found them, there’s even an opportunity to take selfies with their new virtual friends.

There’s also an interactive map, and quiz trails which bring the park to life, teaching people about its history, ecology, buildings and sculptures. The app also offers run, walk and cycle routes and an easy way to view the wide range of events and activities which take place in the park, from arts and crafts to den building and story sessions.
