It’s officially October which means it’s time to get into the spooky spirit! Here are some fun things to do with the Park District as we approach Halloween.
We’ve teamed up with Urbana Park District to hide small rocks painted like pumpkins in many Champaign and Urbana parks throughout October. Get your detective gear ready and see how many you can find! Be sure to snap a picture and share your discoveries with us on our Facebook and Instagram accounts by tagging #CUpumpkinhunt.
Dates: October 1 – 31
Location: Champaign and Urbana Parks
