Find the Gnomes!

Each month from April to October our forest friends (Polli, Greenie, Blossom, and Oak) hiding in 3 different natural area parks and challenge you to find them while hiking through the parks. Lake Oswego has nearly 500 acres of natural areas spread out within 63 park properties, so come explore the natural spaces within our city and have fun finding our forest friends. The forest friends will change parks on the 1st of every month, so don't wait too long!

• Find our nature friends! Take a photo of you, your dog, or anything by the friend.
• Submit your photo using the QR code on each forest friend's picture. The QR code will direct you to a page where you can enter your name, contact info, and a picture for a chance to win a prize in October.
• Lake Oswego Parks & Recreation and our Stewardship Program will never ask for money donation of any kind.
• Come back each month to find the new parks and clues for finding our forest friends.
• Please leave the forest friends for future participants.
