Join Scooby Doo for a Tennis Ball Hunt

Newtown Township is holding its first-ever tennis ball hunt with Scooby Doo next Saturday, March 26 at 11 a.m.

The kid-friendly event will feature Scooby-Doo (shhh, it’s actually a person in a costume) hunting for tennis balls at .  The event is appropriate for children ages four through nine.

After the hunt, there will be refreshments, games, and activities provided by the coaches of the Bucks County Tennis Association and The Pro Shop of Newtown.  

It’s similar to an Easter egg hunt except it will be done with tennis balls, explained Megan Prusienski, program coordinator for the township’s Park and Recreation Department. 

The balls will be scattered in the field before the kids arrive at the park. Scooby will say “go” and the hunt will begin, Prusienski said.

The program will kick off the Park and Recreation Deparment’s tennis season and upcoming lessons with Bucks County Tennis Association.

Parents must accompany their children. Space is limited. Participants must pre-register; the fee is $5. To register, visit www.newtownfun.com or stop in to the , 100 Municipal Dr.
