Are you on the hunt for the 2025 Winter Medallion?
Coin Quest returns to the parks for Woodbury’s fifth annual Winter Medallion Hunt. Partnering with Woodbury Public Safety, the City of Woodbury Parks & Recreation invites residents to participate for the chance to win $100 worth of gift cards to local businesses. Additionally, the Woodbury Community Foundation donates an extra $100 to a local nonprofit for each coin that is found.
Amid COVID-19 during winter 2021, the Winter Medallion Hunt was created in hopes of unifying the community and encouraging residents to discover new parks. Since its start, city-wide participation has increased, and around 1,000 participants now join in the fun each year.
This year, three acrylic coins will be hidden over three weeks, including the weeks of January 13, 20 and 27. Each week, a new coin will be placed at one of Woodbury’s many parks. There will be three clues to each coin’s whereabouts, which will be posted every Monday, Wednesday and Friday on the City of Woodbury’s website, plus the Woodbury, MN Police Fire EMS and Woodbury Parks & Recreation Facebook pages.
Individuals who find a coin should email anna.kemper@woodburymn.gov or call 651.414.3433 within two hours of its discovery.
