Keep your eyes peeled starting July 3. Fremont neighbor Vivian Zirk is hiding 60 hand-painted rocks across five neighborhood parks, continuing a local tradition that has been delighting neighbors and visitors of all ages for years.
The hunt kicks off Friday afternoon in honor of International Drop a Rock Day, which is a “global event that unites rock artists to hide painted rocks bearing the same unifying word or concept to spread kindness and joy,” according to Zirk.
This year’s theme is Love, and Zirk is also tying together the 250th anniversary of American independence and June’s Pride month. Each rock features original painted designs celebrating the themes.
The rocks will be scattered across Accidental Park (Greenwood Avenue between 43rd and 44th), B.F. Day Playground (4020 Fremont Ave. N), Ross Park Playground (4320 4th Ave. NW), Troll’s Knoll Park (820 N. 36th St.) and the Emergency Cut Flower Garden on North 38th Street at Bridge Way.
