Hop over and fill your baskets full of candy at Waukee’s annual Easter Egg Hunt. The hunt starts at 10 a.m. sharp, rain or shine, on Saturday, April 4 at Centennial Park. Be sure to plan ahead, so you have time to park and get to the designated section for your child before 10 a.m. This hunt goes fast! After the starting horn sounds, kids can enjoy hunting for thousands of eggs and pieces of candy. Watch for the special golden prize eggs! Please note that some candy may contain nuts.
The crowd will be divided into three age groups at the park:
- Ages 4 and under: greenspace west of Field #3
- Ages 5-7: Fields #2 and #3
- Ages 8-10: Field #1
Things to Think About
The Waukee District PTO will hold a Waukee Walks event at 9 a.m. in Centennial Park on April 4 before the egg hunt. If you're participating in the walk, grab a drink or a treat from Traveling Tom's Coffee or The Donut Den food trucks and stick around for the hunt. Get more details on their Facebook event page here. If you aren't doing the walk, allow a little extra time to find parking and to navigate people leaving the Waukee Walks event.
Warrior Lane is closed from south of Ford Lane and Park Road to University Avenue. The trail through the park is open. Park Road is open through Centennial Park. Allow extra time when traveling in this area. Read more about the road closure here.
