Auburn’s Peter Cotton Trail

Hop through Auburn’s parks and trails in search of the elusive bunnies who will be hidden in various locations around Auburn. Find 10 bunnies, submit a scorecard, and get entered for a chance to win some awesome prizes! This family-friendly event is perfect for all ages, including seniors and those in the specialized recreation community. It’s a great way to get outside, stay active and enjoy the outdoors!

Here’s how it works:

1. Print the Bunny Scorecard if you wish, or bring something on your search to track your bunnies such as a notepad and pen, smartphone or tablet. Note: you do NOT need to email scorecards. Submit details on the Online Scorecard Submission Form (available beginning April 3). Printed scorecards (for tracking purposes only) will also be available, beginning March 30 during normal business hours at:  

• Auburn Community & Event Center, 910 Ninth Street SE, Auburn, WA 98002 (available 24/7 in a pamphlet holder outside April 14 – April 21)
• Sound Credit Union, 1202 Outlet Collection Way SW, Suite 107
• Pet Pros, 1404 Lake Tapps Pkwy SE, #A-101
• Big Air, The Outlet Collection Mall – 1101 Outlet Collection Way #1275
• Safari Playspace, 1101 Outlet Collection Way Suite 1049
• Red Canoe Credit Union, 1620 Lake Tapps Parkway, Suite 101

2. On Thursday, April 2 at 8:00 PM, we will release a list of parks where bunnies are hiding.  Note: two of the parks will have more accessible bunnies which are in view from the trail/path to accommodate wheelchairs, strollers and wagons.

3. All bunnies will look like this example bunny image. Bunnies are approximately 12″ tall. Each bunny has a unique number. Please don’t take the bunnies so everyone can enjoy this activity. Please don’t move the bunnies so we can keep them safe from mowers and other maintenance equipment.

4. Search for bunnies during park hours, April 3 – April 6. You will need to find a minimum of ten bunnies. In most cases, you may need to visit two or more parks to complete your scorecard. Print our scorecard or bring something to track your bunnies.

5. Complete the Online Bunny Scorecard Submission Form. The online scorecard will contain contact information and 10 spaces to indicate the bunnies that you found. There will also be the opportunity to share photos or comments with us. We enjoy hearing from you! The online scorecard will be available until 11:59 PM on Monday, April 6. Sorry, no late entries. 

6. Each person who participates must submit their own scorecard. Adults are welcome to play too! Duplicate entries will be deleted. 

7. Winners will be selected at random and emailed on or before April 9.
