The Easter Egg Hunt events include games, music, and activities for the whole family, as well as prizes for the children.
“I encourage all children and families to join in this fun event. The challenge is on to find the eggs hidden in the parks for a chance to win prizes. These special events in our parks are what makes our community a great place to live, work and raise a family,” Golden stated.
