Greg Cattanach found the fourth $100 Bulletin virtual Easter egg “hidden” at the new Woodward Park interactive waterplay feature now under construction.
The clues are as follows:
*It'll be a real cool place: That’s thanks to the splash pad style features.
*It's not at the reservoir: You can have a real good time at Woodward Reservoir as well, but it is not where the egg was hidden
*It's a place for streaming: The custom design includes a stream of water.
*It's not Oakwood: Oakwood Lake Resort with the giant swimming lake it had along with the Manteca Waterslides that was on the western end of Woodward Avenue where the Oakwood Shores gated community is now located was a cool place as well.
Woodward Park, Woodward Avenue, Woodward School, and Woodward Reservoir are all named after Walter Woodward, a Manteca pioneer who lived on the western end of present-day Woodward Avenue.
Among his accomplishments was selecting the site for the Woodward Reservoir more than 110 years ago while serving on the South San Joaquin County Irrigation District board.
The water play feature at Woodward Park will be completed in the next several months.
The splash pad is designed to create the feel of a stream.
It will feature amenities such as a water trail, water tunnel, waterfall, outdoor shower, shaded seating area, and a swing set,
There will be wet zones with ground and overhead sprays.
The splash pad includes a channel with a natural stream-like theme.
The splash pad will be encircled with a sidewalk connected with walking paths accessing other parts of the park.
Clues as to where the fifth and final $100 virtual Easter egg will be hidden will appear in Saturday’s Bulletin.
