Get ready for a fun and exciting scavenger hunt with our Lucky Ducks program! Throughout St. Patrick’s Week, we will be hiding little rubber ducks in various parks around the area and it’s up to you to find them. We’ll share new clues on Facebook to help you track down these hidden treasures every day.
Each duck you find can be turned in at East Carrollton Rec Center for a special prize, so keep your eyes peeled! Whether you’re exploring the local parks with friends or taking a solo adventure, it’s a great way to get outdoors, enjoy the hunt and have a bit of St. Patrick’s fun!
