There is a leprechaun on the loose!
Lucky the Leprechaun travels from park to park in Bluffton causing mischief, pulling pranks, and hiding his gold at the end of rainbows. We need children of all ages to help us find this mischievous leprechaun.
This is a “hide and seek” game. A paper cut out of Lucky will be hidden until March 15. If you find the paper cut out of Lucky the Leprechaun, you must deliver it back to the Parks Department to claim your prize. We will then hide Lucky in a different location after he is found. Follow Bluffton Parks on Facebook to see when he is on the run.

The city of Bluffton has a tree-planting program that will assist residents in planting trees along city streets during the early spring of 2022. The cost of each tree is $37. Trees will arrive in a 5-gallon container. They must be ordered and paid for before March 18 at the Mayor’s Office.
Trees offered will be Red Sunset Maple, Eastern Redbud–Pink Blooming, Kousa Dogwood-White Blooming, Heritage River Birch–multi-stem, and Tulip Tree. (Quantities are limited this year.)
The city will assist homeowners in planting trees by digging the hole for planting during early spring, provided the location can be reached from the street by the city’s equipment. If you wish, the trees will be delivered to your home for you to plant. Trees are expected to arrive in late March to early April.
The city cannot guarantee the tree’s growth, since much of the success of planting depends upon the care of the tree after it is in the ground. Trees may not be planted under utility lines or where the growth of the tree may endanger either overhead or underground utilities.
