Highlights from Our Spring Egg Hunt Extravaganza!

Despite the unfortunate storm, the 2024 Children’s Spring Festival & Egg Hunt was a resounding success. From face painters to arts and crafts, there was no shortage of fun activities. Every child was treated to free toys and had the chance to experience the new train ride around the park. Of course, the highlight was the egg giveaway, with over 5,000 eggs collected by our young participants.


Thank you to all the families who braved the weather to celebrate with us. A special shoutout to the Parks & Recreation crew, Public Works team and community volunteers for their efforts in ensuring the event could transition smoothly indoors, keeping everyone dry and safe. It truly was a wonderful way to kick off spring in our community, and we couldn't have done it without each and every one of you.
