In addition to the egg hunts, there will be UNLIMITED rides on a jumbo slide, jump climb & slide,
rock climbing wall, obstacle courses, face painting, and other amusements. Food vendors will be on
site or families are invited to bring lunches to enjoy a picnic at their favorite spot in the park.
Families should also remember their cameras for great photo opportunities with the Easter Bunny.
