📣 Have you been here? Tag someone who should check it out!

🦆📋 FROM HEADQUARTERS… in case anyone’s keeping track! 👀

Seven Agents have entered the field so far, and as you can see, some have been a little better about checking in than others. 😂

✅ 4 discovered
👀 3 locations currently unknown

Whether they were found by someone following the hunt or simply stumbled upon by a kid at the park, we hope every Agent has found a great new home and helped someone discover a new place to play along the way. 💚

And don’t get too comfortable…

Headquarters still has more Agents awaiting deployment. 🦆🔎

🚨🦆 HEADQUARTERS MISSION UPDATE 🦆🚨

Today’s double deployment has given us a little bit of everything!

👻 Agent 006: DISCOVERED! ✅

But our favorite part of today’s mission actually wasn’t that Agent 006 was found.

It was WHO found him. 💚

The family who discovered Agent 006 told us they had never even known this park was here until today. They followed the hunt, figured out the clues, found the park, and their kids got to spend some time exploring and playing somewhere completely new.

THAT is why we do this. 🥹

The ducks are fun. The clues are fun. Watching everyone race to figure out where our Agents have gone is definitely fun. 😂

But VB ParkHopper has always been about helping families discover the parks and playgrounds hiding right here in our own community.

If one silly little ghost duck gets a family to visit a park they might otherwise have driven past for years, mission accomplished. 👻🦆🌳

Thank you to everyone who continues to play along with us. Seeing your kids excited about exploring these parks makes all of this worth it. 💚

Now, unfortunately, Headquarters has one other matter to address…

🧟 Agent 007: LOCATION UNKNOWN. 👀

We returned to his last known position and can confirm that FrankenDuck is gone, but nobody has checked in to claim the discovery!

So if Agent 007 went home with you today, give Headquarters a sign! 😂 A picture, comment, tag, or message will do. We’d love to officially mark him DISCOVERED rather than start dusting off those dreaded three letters…

M. I. A. 😬

👻 006: DISCOVERED ✅
🧟 007: LOCATION UNKNOWN 👀

Headquarters is standing by…

🚨👻 HEADQUARTERS SURVEILLANCE ALERT 👻🚨

We have a developing situation…

These two were spotted conspiring earlier today. 👀

Headquarters has been unable to determine exactly what they’re whispering about, but we find the timing highly suspicious.

You see, there just happens to be a mission scheduled for Monday, October 5. 🦆🔎

Coincidence?

We don’t think so. 😂

Even more concerning, BOTH of them continue to blatantly disregard VB ParkHopper uniform regulations.

🧟 One has apparently gone full Frankenstein.
👻 The other seems to believe a sheet counts as tactical gear.

After Agent 005’s little pumpkin stunt, Headquarters is beginning to suspect we have a full-blown uniform rebellion on our hands. 🎃

What are these two planning?

And more importantly…

Which one is headed into the field Monday? 👀

Stay alert, ParkHoppers.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 5.
Something is coming. 🦆

What’s not to love about this park?! 🌳☀️

With a perfect mix of shaded and sunny areas, plenty of benches, lots of swings, an obstacle-course-style play area, and unique features you don’t see at every playground, there’s something here for everyone!

And yes—adults can join in on the fun too! 🙌 Whether you’re looking to play, explore, relax, or simply enjoy some time outdoors, this park has something for all ages. 💚

🚨🎃 AGENT 005 HAS BEEN DISCOVERED!!! 🎃🚨

Headquarters can officially confirm that our rogue pumpkin has been located! 🦆

After ignoring orders, violating uniform regulations, and deploying himself to Lynbrook Landing, Agent 005 has finally been discovered! 😂

Apparently the “seasonally appropriate tactical gear” wasn’t quite as stealthy as he thought. 🎃👀

A HUGE thank you to everyone who followed the clues and joined the hunt today!

Agent 005 officially kicks off our Spooky Season deployments, and judging by what Headquarters has been seeing around here…

he may not be the last Agent with questionable October wardrobe choices. 👻🧙🎃

Stay tuned, ParkHoppers. More Agents are coming. 🦆🔎

MISSION STATUS: DISCOVERED ✅

🔎🎃 CLUE #2: HEADQUARTERS HAS NARROWED THE SEARCH

Agent 005 is hiding very close to Williams Farm Park… but he isn’t at Williams Farm. 👀

Instead, he chose a much smaller neighborhood playground nearby, just off the Newtown Road corridor.

And Headquarters keeps hearing that Agent 005 has “landed” somewhere… 🤔🦆

Surely that doesn’t mean anything, right? 😂

🎃 GO FIND THAT DUCK!
