An Explorer Scavenger Hunt has been launched across 11 parks and reserves in Wyndham.
The free Wyndham council initiative has been designed to help children and families stay active over summer and enjoy their local parks in a new way.
The scavenger hunt can be completed at just one park or all of the locations.
Heathdale Glen Orden Wetlands, Riverbend Historical Park, Riverwalk Village Park and Wyndham Park in Werribee feature in the scavenger hunt, along with Point Cook’s Coastal Park and Saltwater Coast Crocodile Park.
Hogans Road Reserve in Hoppers Crossing, Skeleton Creek (Autumn Fields Circuit) in Tarneit, Mainview Boulevard Park in Truganina, the Werribee South Foreshore and Presidents Park in Wyndham Vale are also included.
Wyndham’s active city portfolio holder, councillor Peter Maynard, encouraged residents to get involved in the Explorer Scavenger Hunt.
“Now that restrictions have eased, Wyndham Explorer provides new reasons to visit our parks close by as well as head out to explore parks that you haven’t been to during the school holidays,” Cr Maynard said.
“The scavenger hunt is also a great way for families to be active together.”
Maps and clues to be used in the scavenger hunts can be found on the council’s website, along with a series of questions to test your explorer skills.
Residents who use the map location clues to answer each question will be able to submit them as entries, to win one of 11 sports packs from the council.
Entries are due by January 30 next year. Details: www.wyndham.vic.gov.au/wyndhamexplorer.
