As we gear up for K9 March Madness, we are excited to introduce a brand-new family-friendly event: the CSPD K9 Dog Park Scavenger Hunt!
We’ve partnered up with Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services to bring fellow K9 lovers a fun little event for all ages.
Participants will visit four designated dog parks across the city (Cheyenne Meadows Park, Palmer Park, Rampart Park, Antlers Park) and answer fun trivia questions about the CSPD K9s. Each correct answer reveals a letter. Collect them all and rearrange them to uncover the secret code word!
The scavenger hunt will run from March 2 to March 6.
Those who correctly guess the secret codeword and submit their worksheet to CSPD Community Relations will be entered into a drawing to win our new K9 Challenge Coin.
