Freshman state legislator Mary Beth Canty held her first ever park district scavenger hunt.
While there has been a national backlog and extended wait for U.S. residents to get real passports to travel internationally, closer to home in one area legislator’s district, people could easily print a passport to explore “treasures” this summer in local park districts.
“We have a lot of parks in the 54th District. I truly didn’t appreciate how many there were, and some of them have really interesting stories or really interesting things. I thought, ‘how can I marry my love of exploring new things and scavenger hunt with our parks?’” the freshman state legislator told Pioneer Press as the hunt came to an end.
She said while meeting with park district officials, Canty talked with River Trails Park District’s director about the concept of geocaching – a worldwide treasure hunt that uses navigational devices.She said the summertime hunt allowed residents to explore, come to appreciate and learn new things about their communities.
