LUCKY LEPRECHAUN HUNT

9am-Noon

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!

The first clue will be posted on the Yorkville Parks and Recreation Department's Facebook page at 9am on Saturday, March 15. Families will then continue to follow the clues posted on signs at each park while collecting tokens to see if they can locate the hidden pot of gold and win a candy prize!!

Please note, only the first 50 groups completing the Lucky Leprechaun Hunt will receive the prize and must show the tokens collected from each park. All prizes must be redeemed between 9am-Noon at Riverfront Park!

*This is a free event to participate in.

HINT: When reading the clues, many will allude to the subdivision where the park is located and/or the theme of the playground at the park! Please use the Park Map and the interactive Google Map to assist in your hunt! Good luck!
