A happy participant at the Park District of Forest Park's Easter Egg Hunt on March 28, 2026 | Todd Bannor

Hip, hop and jump for candy!  

With Easter fast approaching this weekend, the Park District of Forest Park held its annual easter egg hunt last Saturday.  

Small Forest Parkers and their parents came out to the park’s turf field for a festive, albeit easy, easter egg hunt. While many packs of Nerds Gummy Clusters were strewn about for the toddlers, some of the bigger children collected plastic eggs filled with treats.
