On Saturday, April 15, 2017, Menlo Park, in collaboration with the Menlo Park Firefighter’s Association and the Menlo Park Fire District, successfully hosted Menlo Park’s annual Egg Hunt events at Burgess and Kelly Park. In addition to hunting for eggs, children and their families enjoyed bounce houses and a bubble show by Silly Sally. Everyone was also invited to participate in our new planting station at Burgess Park, crafts, guess the number of jellybeans in a jar and take pictures with Bunny. An estimated 2,000 people attended the events and children ages 2 to 8 hunted for eggs on our Menlo Park fields. Along with the Menlo Park Staff, the event was supported and staffed volunteers from Kuk Sool Won and National Academy of Athletics.
