Description
To celebrate the annual unplug Illinois Day, join in the hunt for The Great Ball Pursuit! We encourage participants to "unplug" from their electronic devices and plug into play, creativity and adventure at our parks with family and friends. 300 numbered balls will be scattered amongst 6 New Lenox community parks over 3 days. Rules: One ball per person, please think of others when collecting balls do not hoard balls. When a ball is found, snap a photo of the ball with a landmark indicating the respective park should be taken.
