Summer 2023 Activity Guide

POLLINATOR PARK PROWL

July 1–Aug 13

Ongoing

Learn more about pollinators and the vital habitat that our parks and greenspaces provide with this scavenger hunt-like activity for all ages. Pollinator Park Prowl stations will be located at Iowa City Park sites throughout the city. At each site, participants will search for hidden clues and pollinator education stations. The more locations you find, the more chances to win fun prizes! This event is brought to you by The LENA Project and Iowa City Parks & Recreation. Stay tuned on social media and on our website for more information. Park locations and clue sheets will be posted on our website by the end of June. ICGov.org/recreation
