The Wake Forest Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources Department will sponsor its annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, March 19, at E. Carroll Joyner Park on Harris Road. This free event will be packed full of crafts, games, food, prizes and a visit from the Easter Bunny!
This year’s Egg Hunt includes over 15,000 eggs containing prizes and candy hidden across four locations for the following age groups: 3 and younger, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12 and special needs.
Children ages 3 and younger will hunt for eggs beginning at 10 a.m.; ages 4-6 will begin at 10:20 a.m.; ages 7-9 get underway at 10:40 a.m.; and ages 10-12 commence at 11 a.m. An egg hunt for children with special needs will begin at 11:30 a.m. A downloadable map of the egg hunt areas is available at www.wakeforestnc.gov/easter-egg-hunt.aspx.
Registration is not required for the hunts, but participants should come with baskets in hand ready to fill. Food and drink concessions will be available onsite.
Parking is only permitted in Joyner Park’s visitor parking lot and in the flat, grassy area at the park’s entrance. Parking is not allowed along the entry road to the park. Since parking may be limited, area residents are encouraged to make plans with family members and friends to carpool, walk or bike to Joyner Park.
