Family Geocaching at Mellon Park!

Join us for a FREE activity on March 21st!

Embark on a special mission to find hidden treasures in the park! Hand-held GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) units will be used to locate the treasures, or "caches" in this family-friendly adventure.

This is a free, drop-in activity, so show up anytime between 1:30 PM - 4:30 PM and we'll show you how to use a GPS unit and set you on your course. Supplies are limited. No experience necessary. Program sponsored by Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Upcoming Family Programs

Orienteering Basics for Kids
Instead of just keeping us from getting lost, we will use our map and compass skills to find different points around the park. Part race, part puzzle, you'll need to move through the course while using your newly acquired map skills to figure out the best route! You'll be rewarded at each point by a treat to keep the motor running on your way to the next target.

Date: Saturday, March 13
Location: Frick Park
Time: 1:00 PM - 3:30 PM

Hot Cocoa Adventure
There is nothing quite like hot cocoa on a cold day, especially after a walk in the park. Join us for an easy trek along the paved trails of this beautiful local park. Afterward, we'll taste various types of hot chocolate to warm us up. What's your favorite type of hot chocolate: dark, mint, white, or with marshmallows? Come taste them all and bring the kids!
