Kingsport Easter Treat Hunt
April 4 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Why should children have all the fun hunting for treats this Easter season? Your furry friends deserve to join in on the festivities as well.
Kingsport Parks and Recreation is hosting a special Easter Treat Hunt at Kingsport’s Dogwood Park (800 Granby Road) on April 4 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event is free and open to the public, so bring your pup down and watch him search, sniff and score some delicious snacks.
Participants are welcome to dress up the dogs in their best springtime garb, connect with fellow dog lovers and discover more about what Dogwood Park has to offer. Whether you’re a current member or considering joining, everyone is welcome to come out and share in the fun.
Though the event is free, Kingsport Parks and Recreation officials are asking folks to register to know approximately how many people will be showing up.

The city is widely known as a planned community, designed by renowned city planner John Nolen and wrapping around the foot of Bays Mountain – a 3,750-acre park, nature preserve, planetarium and observatory. Kingsport is recognized as an International Safe Community by the National Safety Council, a Healthier Tennessee community, and won the 2009 Harvard Innovations in American Government Award for its higher education initiatives.
