EASTER EGG HUNT IN OAK RIDGE

The City of Oak Ridge Recreation and Parks Department will host its annual community Egg Hunt on Saturday, March 23, 2024, starting at 11 a.m. The free egg hunt will be a traditional style Egg Hunt held at A.K. Bissell Park. Parking will be available at both the East and West Civic Center parking lots. In the event of severe weather, eggs, and prizes will be handed out via drive-through at the Oak Ridge Recreation Center. The event is limited to children aged 4 through fourth grade. Families are asked to pre-register at orrecparks.recdesk.com. Pre-registration helps staff plan for the correct number of eggs and other supplies. The Recreation and Parks Department staff will make a reasonable effort to provide appropriate accommodations for children who require an accessible area to hunt. Parents are encouraged to call the Recreation and Parks Department at (865) 425-3450 to make arrangements. Adult volunteers (aged 16 and up) are needed to hide eggs, supervise the hunt areas, and assist participants. All volunteers should be prepared to work from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on the day of the event and should dress according to the weather. The first 50 volunteers to sign up will receive an event T-shirt. A pizza lunch will be served to all volunteers immediately following the event. For more information, call the Recreation Center front desk at (865) 425-3450.
