Coin Quest: Woodbury's Winter Medallion Hunt

Calling all wise, adventure-seeking and puzzle-solving Woodbury residents! Join the search for three hidden coins this winter in Woodbury’s 3rd annual winter medallion hunt, Coin Quest! The three-week long search is a partnership between Woodbury Public Safety, Woodbury Community Foundation and Woodbury Parks and Recreation and includes three coins – one hidden in a Woodbury park each week!

Clues to the hidden coin will be provided on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, beginning the week of Jan. 15, and running through the week of Jan. 29.

Clues will be posted on Woodbury MN Police, Fire EMS and Woodbury Parks and Recreation Facebook pages at 11:30 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Clues will also be posted on this page of the City of Woodbury’s website by 2:30 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

The clues lead to a 3-by-3 inch acrylic “coin” (square paperweight). The coin might be camouflaged as something else; keep a keen eye out.

The individuals who find each coin will receive the original coin as a keepsake and $100 worth of gift cards to Woodbury businesses. In additional, each time a coin is found, the Woodbury Community Foundation will generously donate $100 to a local non-profit.

No registration is required. The Coin Quest is intended for Woodbury residents.

Now that you've gotten through the first set of clues,
It's time to look for coin number two, if you choose.

Please keep in mind, the rules are in place to
Help you identify what you're looking to find.

When visiting a park please stay on the trails.
We don't need you stepping on any tails.

Please respect the native land.
So, no need to dig in the sand.

Now with a few rules out of the way,
off to the hills, one might say.

But remember to keep your gaze high/
We wouldn't want you to walk on by.

Still feeling a bit stumped?
No worries, this one might get you pumped.
Even though this park is a bit further out,
We know you can do it, no doubt.

Be careful where you hike,
The pond is full of northern pike.
Just kidding, that pond has no fish.
But some might wish.

Down to the third and final clue,
Hopefully we won’t stump all of you.
There’s no playground for climbing and sliding,
But there are plenty of trees for hiding.

This park is away from all the hustle and bustle
How about get out and move your leg muscle?
If you’re not in the mood to move
Sit back and watch the birds, we don’t disapprove.
