CARDINIA’S annual Easter Hunt will see children of all ages flock to Emerald Lake Park this weekend in search of treasure, and families are invited to take part in the fun.
The hunt will run from 11am to 3pm at the park on Easter Sunday 5 April, with activity sheets available at the park’s cafe, model railway or the Environment Centre.
Cardinia mayor Leticia Wilmot said the event would be the “perfect way to get the family together at Easter”.
“It is always a great event, and it is fantastic to see children getting involved in the adventure of the hunt with so much excitement,” Cr Wilmot said.
“There is so much to do at the park, so I encourage people to stay and enjoy the day with the other activities.
“It may even be the start of a family tradition in your family to spend Easter Sunday at Emerald Lake Park.”
Children taking part in the hunt will find out more about the town’s park, filling out their form as they go, which they can later trade for some ‘eggcellent’ treasure.
Though the weather is set to be overcast, there will be plenty of other activities on offer at the park, including paddleboats on the lake, the model railway, Puffing Billy, walking track, displays and even fishing.
Entry to the Easter Hunt is free, though parking at Emerald Lake Park is $2 per hour or $6 per day – annual passes can be purchased from Cardinia Shire Council.
Tickets must be purchased on arrival and be displayed at all times in the car.
