Salt Lake City has introduced a public lands scavenger hunt designed to encourage residents to explore new spaces across the city, according to a September 8 document. Participants can complete various activities in a provided booklet to qualify for prizes.
To qualify for a prize, individuals must complete at least 15 tasks listed in the booklet. Completed booklets can be turned in during the National Public Lands Day celebration, which is scheduled for Saturday, September 26, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Liberty Park, located at 600 Harvey Milk Blvd. Prizes will be distributed while supplies last.
The scavenger hunt includes a variety of activities such as visiting new parks, exploring trails in the foothills, and observing wildlife at locations like the Miller Bird Refuge or Fife Wetlands. Other activities involve visiting the International Peace Gardens, exploring the Seven Canyons Reserve, or visiting the Chase Home Museum of Utah Folk Arts in Liberty Park.
The booklet also features community engagement opportunities, such as attending the Flower Parade and Folk Festival on September 19 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the International Peace Gardens. Residents can also participate in park stewardship volunteer events or attend events hosted by park rangers.
Additional information regarding new parks, trails, public spaces, and community event calendars is available via the Salt Lake City Public Lands website.
