Eggs invade Brookdale Park


An Easter egg hunt will be held at East Point's Brookdale Park on Saturday, April 2.

The annual spring event is hosted by Jefferson Avenue Baptist Church.

The “hunts” begins at 11 a.m. at the neighborhood park, on Sylvan Road between Glendale and Pegg Roads for all elementary school children and younger.

There will be a hunt for Babies and Toddlers, one for Pre-K to 2nd grade and one for 3rd to 5th graders. You will need to bring your own basket. A picnic-style lunch will be provided after the eggs have been uncovered.


Also supporting the activities are the Cleveland Avenue Chick-Fil-A, the Jefferson Park Neighbors Association and the City of East Point.

Step 2: Prepare for your session
