Summary
City staff previewed Springfest and an egg hunt scheduled April 4 at Morgan Park, describing attractions (arts and crafts, inflatable obstacle, magician), a 10:45 a.m. egg hunt using 22,000 eggs across five zones, and an inclusive area with headphones and tabletop options for children with sensory needs or mobility limitations.
Program supervisor April Rojo told commissioners the city will hold Springfest and an egg hunt Saturday, April 4 at Morgan Park. Activities will run from 9 a.m. to noon, with the egg hunt beginning at 10:45 a.m.
Rojo outlined a lineup of free activities including arts and crafts, an inflatable obstacle course with timed sessions, bubble play, strolling characters, a magician at the amphitheater and a professional photographer providing complimentary photos. In-N-Out will do merch giveaways; one food vendor will be on site.
Rojo said staff ordered 22,000 eggs and will stage five egg-hunt areas: two front-park areas for older children (ages 7–12) and multiple areas behind the amphitheater for younger children. She described an inclusive area with noise-reduction headphones and a tabletop egg hunt for children using wheelchairs, plus sensory play areas and special baskets for infants and toddlers.
When a commissioner noted past crowding and pushing among older children in certain zones, Rojo said staff measured the site this year, ordered additional barricades and will expand the sections to better accommodate competitors.
Rojo said the department continues to refine events based on community and commissioner feedback; no formal action followed the presentation.
