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.

Clue 2

With all the areas to climb,
You’re bound to have a good time.
Is that real or fake wood on the playground?
Either way, we are still having a good time running around.

Did you notice most of the parks are named after lakes, rocks, and trees?
The coin is hidden at park named after one of these.
The home to a rink years ago,
Now a place to serve, pitch, kick and grow.

Clue 3

At this park we hold our summer activities.
Have you been part of any of these festivities?
Such as, tennis lessons, sports camps, and Pee Wee sports,
Fun had on baseball fields and two tennis courts.

Some people put this tree inside,
This park’s playground has two slides.
If you find yourself on the eastside,
Go west, you’ll be more satisfied.
