SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

LUCKY LEPRECHAUN HUNT CONTINUES THROUGH MARCH 26!

Ever wanted to find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Now here's your chance! The Leprechaun has hidden a pot of gold in one of the Yorkville Parks and Recreation Department's parks! View this FIRST CLUE HERE and then continue to follow the clues posted on signs at all 7 parks!

Signs will remain in the parks through Sunday, March 26. Prizes are still available at the Yorkville Parks and Recreation Office (201 W Hydraulic Ave, Yorkville) and available to redeem during regular business hours (Monday-Friday; 8:00-4:30pm). Prizes will be available while supplies last and groups must provide photos of each park visited to redeem the prize.

RULES TO REMEMBER:

Families must show proof of finding all 7 locations by taking a picture with each sign to redeem the prize!
All prizes must be redeemed while supplies last during regular business hours (M-F; 8-4:30pm) at the Recreation Office (201 W Hydraulic Ave, Yorkville).
Signs will remain at the parks through March 26 for families to enjoy.

HINT: When reading the clues, many of them will allude to the subdivision the park is located and/or theme of the playground at the park! Please use the Park Map to assist in your hunt! The sign may be easily visible within the park or hidden within the playground to increase the challenge of the hunt! Good luck!
