Moon Park
Basketball Madness comes to Moon Park in March of 2021! Get ready for a fun interactive scavenger hunt through Moon Park. Each week as the March Madness bracket is released, the logo of each qualified team will be hidden throughout Moon Park. Each Wednesday, your group will be given an hour to search the park to find as many of the teams as possible. That weekend, root for your team and track the wins and losses of the teams you found in the park. The bracket gets smaller the second week and the items will be harder to find. The group who finds the most winning teams over both weeks wins a Moon Parks basketball prize basket. While those of all ages are invited to participate, each team must include someone 18 years or older. After a year of social distancing, this is a great way to safely spend time outdoors with friends and family! For more information, visit moonparks.org.
