An egg hunt under the stars!

It’s back — and it’s glowing bigger than ever!

Sylacauga Parks & Recreation is excited to bring back one of our most popular spring events with an electrifying new twist. Join us on Friday, March 13, 2026, for the return of the Flashlight Egg Hunt at Noble Park — and this year, we’re adding an epic Glow Party on the Playground after the hunt!

Designed especially for kids ages 7–10, this after-dark adventure kicks off at 7:30 PM. Armed with their own flashlights and Easter baskets, participants will race across Noble Park searching for prize-filled eggs hidden throughout the grounds. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of hunting eggs under the night sky!

And when the last egg is found… the party begins.

For the first time ever, we’re keeping the fun going with a high-energy Glow Party on the Playground. Think glowing lights, upbeat music, and a celebration that lets kids show off their finds and dance the night away with friends. It’s the perfect way to level up this already unforgettable event.

Families are encouraged to bring flashlights and Easter baskets to fully enjoy the experience. To make things extra sweet, Pelican’s Snoballs will be there with their delicious treats!

Safety First: As always, the safety of our participants is our top priority. There will be increased police presence on-site to ensure a safe and secure environment for all families in attendance.

Karate School

Sylacauga Karate School is a traditional style of martial arts affiliated with Yoshukai Karate International.

In 1971, Sensei Gene Henderson began teaching Yoshukai Karate at the Sylacauga Parks and Recreation Department. One of his students, Randy Caine, received his black belt and established the Sylacauga Karate School. The Sylacauga Karate School has been teaching this traditional style of karate in Sylacauga since 1971 and now returns to the Sylacauga Parks and Recreation where it began 51 years ago.

The current instructor, Shihan Daren Holland, 6th Dan, began his training in 1981 and brings his 41 years of karate knowledge to his students. He is assisted by many of the dojo's other black belts who themselves have years of experience.

The benefits of training at our dojo are many. Karate training gives you tools and techniques that could probably save your life if the situation arises. Karate prepares you to defend yourself from aggressors by giving you the senses to react quickly and effectively in dangerous or life-threatening situations.

The mental benefits of training in the martial arts are greater self-discipline, increased focus, improved mental toughness, perseverance, greater respect as well as more confidence, patience, and humility.

The fitness benefits include a total body workout that will improve cardiovascular health, coordination and reflexes, muscle tone, strength and power, stamina, flexibility, balance, and mobility. More energy, less stress, and improvements in sleep quality and posture are all benefits of karate training.

Besides the memorial, the park is an excellent place to have a picnic, just sit for a spell, or walk laps. 5 laps makes a mile.
