Champaign Parks & Trails
September 3-30, 2022
SCAVENGER HUNT UPDATE: We will now update our list of parks/trails to let you know when rocks are found to help you search for rocks. To make sure the One Rock to Rule Them all scavenger hunt is still challenging, we will be adding an additional avenger rock that will be released on Wednesday, September 14.
We’re rockin’ the parks this September with four #ParksRock Scavenger Hunts! A new set of painted rocks will be hidden for you to find every Saturday in September. Prizes will be available for those who find a painted rock & submit a photo by September 30. You also get to keep the painted rocks you find!

- NEW CHALLENGER ENTERS: Wednesday, September 14 | 1 more Avenger
- September 10: Become the Very Best (Kanto Region) | 8 Rocks

- September 24: One Rock to Rule Them All | 1 Rock

To help guide you to victory, the list of 30 Champaign parks & trails where you can find them will be released on September 1, 2022 right here!
