ALL FIVE BOXES HAVE BEEN LOCATED AT THEIR POSITIONS AND UPDATED AS OF 09/16/12 !! HAPPY HUNTING :)

There is a lot to see and do here at Wing Park that many people do not know of. I hope this adventure helps you see what it can offer us all. It may take you longer than an hour and there are some hills throughout the park, but it is a fairly easy walk.

Box #1
Enter the park from Wing St. and park your car in the first parking lot near the golf clubhouse. Walk around the clubhouse and find the black grill. Turn your back to Wing St. as you face the grill. Start your adventure by walking alongside the street and count off 7 street-hugging trees on your side. Cross the street carefully to find a small rock garden. Go to the corner of the garden that is closest to the black fence. Turn left and count off 29 of the larger black fence posts to the double-trunked tree closest to the fence. Under the largest rock at your feet you will find the first of many...
Congratulations!

Box #2
Continue on your way and you will come to a gravel road and a large gate in the fence. Walk down this road away from the gate and cross the street carefully to find the "Welcome to Wing Park" sign. Which direction is "Skating"? Go that way. Pass the Maintenance building and sit on the second black bench. Check out those practicing tennis and appreciate their hard work. Up in the tree behind the bench is your next award. Congratulations!

Box #3
See the playground? Have a break, have some fun! There is also a bathroom here is you need it. When you are ready to continue on this adventure hunt, look for the brown spring board that can bounce several people at once. Stand on top of it and turn your back to the sand. Do you see that stop sign ahead? That is the next stop. It's not as far as it seems! Follow this bike path and carefully cross the streets. As you continue, keep your eyes peeled for a tall red fire hydrant. Go to it. From this point turn left and take 60 steps alongside the black fence to find your next prize inside the slanted tree. Congratulations!

Box #4
Back onto the bike path walking farther into the park. When you see the "end," go downhill to a gravel path and follow it to the right. Now you're in the Major Leagues! Continue the hunt following the same black fence. Approach the brick building and there you'll find your grand slam over the fence and under a bush. Congratulations!

Box #5
Make your way back to the bike path and go down the park's biggest hill. Here you can have some fun running and/or rolling up and down this monster hill. Be careful not to hit the trees though! There is another, smaller monster just behind the bandshell so conquer this one next. Standing on top of the tree stump on top of this hill you should be able to see two Wing Park signs that give directions. Walk towards the one that is closer to the street's guard rail. Walk until you see a large green utility box and our final award. It is hidden up in the third trunk of the four-trunked tree. Congratulations on finishing the Complex Sports series!

EXIT
To leave the park walk up the hill past the water park and follow the signs to exit.
