Kids can get creative, get active, and enjoy the fresh air as they follow the trail around the lakeside.
📜 WHERE TO COLLECT THE TRAIL SHEET
Our Easter Bunny has been hopping around Willen Lake and accidentally dropped eight of his eggs! Each one comes with a fun challenge, from spotting wildlife and discovering different leaves to striking your best bunny pose. Kids can get creative, get active, and enjoy the fresh air as they follow the trail around the lakeside.
📜 WHERE TO COLLECT THE TRAIL SHEET
To join in, simply collect your trail sheet from the Watersports Centre and set off on your mission. Find all eight eggs and return your sheet at the end to claim a special Easter treat.
