2025 Woodbury Winter Coin Quest Week 3

Submitted by Administrator on

Calling all wise, adventure-seeking and puzzle-solving Woodbury residents! Join the search for three hidden coins this winter in Woodbury’s 5th 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. 13, and running through the week of Jan. 27.

Clues will be posted on Woodbury MN Police, Fire EMS and Woodbury Parks and Recreation Facebook pages at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, noon on Wednesday and 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Clues will also be posted on this page of the City of Woodbury’s website two hours after being posted on Facebook.

The clues lead to a 3-by-3 inch acrylic “coin”. 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.

Welcome back, seekers, it’s year number five,
The medallion lies hidden, go bring it alive.
With roots deep in history, the explorer’s lead,
To a place where recreation meets nature's creed.
A crossing you'll find, but it's not for the stream,
A hidden connection to fulfill the dream.

Where kids find joy and games are played,
A bridge stands firm in the leafy cascade.
Rackets and hoops, the bounce of a ball,
This park has it all, both big and small.
Search the ground, where memory weaves,
The medallion’s secret lies under the leaves.

The pickleball courts are where players meet,
But the coin’s not hidden where they compete.
Instead, stroll to the tree line, where the branches meet,
That’s where you’ll find the treasure at your feet.
