Greencastle Parks and Recreation Department's Easter Egg Hunt sees new location

Construction has prompted the Greencastle Parks and Recreation Department to move its two big Easter egg events, but don't fret. 

Greg Ruark, director of the Parks and Recreation Department, made it known at the Greencastle City Council meeting, the Easter Bunny knows the way to the new location as construction at Robe-Ann Park has moved events to Big Walnut Sports Park. 

"It is a big space," Ruark said of the Big Walnut Sports Park. 

On March 23, the Parks and Recreation Department will host a Woofy Egg Hunt Adventure at 2 p.m. at Big Walnut Sports Park's dog park. Treats and toys will be hidden for dogs to find. 

"We anticipate a successful event. Please bring pets for an opportunity to take part in an Easter Egg hunt," Ruark said. 

Mayor Lynda Dunbar admitted her dog is looking forward to the festivities, which cost $5 per family. Pre-registration is available at www.cityofgreencastle.com/departments/parks-recreation.

A week later, April 30, the annual Easter Egg Hunt will take place at Big Walnut Sports Park. Festivities are slated to begin at 10 a.m., with the egg hunt starting at 10:30 a.m. The event, which is open to children ages 1-10 is free. 

Ruark noted it will also be the opening day for youth baseball and softball at Big Walnut Sports Park on March 30.

"I have met with organizers of both sports and each sport will be sequestered to their own area. It should be a tremendous event," Ruark said.
