More than 20,000 candy-filled eggs are up for grabs at Elings Park’s annual Great Egg Hunt, held Saturday, April 19, 2025, from 9 a.m. to noon in the park’s softball fields. The free egg hunt is organized by age groups for children up to age 10. Children should bring their own baskets.
“This is a wonderful family tradition for the community and Elings Park,” said Dean Noble, the park’s executive director. “After being rained out last year, we know local kids are ready for an egg-citing Great Egg Hunt this year!”
The park opens at 9 a.m., and there are three timed starts by age group: Baby Bunnies (ages 0 to 3) at 10 a.m.; Daring Ducks (ages 4 to 6) at 10:30 a.m.; and Jack Rabbits (ages 7 to 10) at 11 a.m. Festivities continue until noon.
The free, festive annual event also includes visits from and photos with the Easter Bunny plus face painters, Luna’s Jumps bounce houses, smoothies and coffee for purchase from Claudia Coffee Bar food truck, and festive music provided by Music by Bonnie.
Hundreds of egg-seekers are expected, and parking is limited. Families are encouraged to arrive early. Parking on the day of the event is $10 per car, paid at the entry gate, and is first come, first served. When parking outside the Park, guests are asked to be considerate of Park neighbors.
