BOCA RATON, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2026) — Boca Raton will host its annual Spring Egg Dive on Sunday, March 29, at Meadows Park Pool, bringing children and families to one of the city’s aquatic facilities for a free afternoon event built around a pool-based egg hunt and family activities.
The event is organized by the City of Boca Raton Recreation Services Department, which oversees the city’s parks, aquatic facilities, community centers and other public recreation assets. This event is scheduled at Meadows Park Pool, 1300 NW 8th Street, in Boca Raton.
Activities begin at noon. The main egg dive starts at 1 p.m., when children will enter the pool to collect colorful eggs placed at the bottom. Those eggs can then be redeemed for prizes.
City organizers said children of all ages are welcome, but each child must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Participants also must be comfortable in the water without parental assistance, a requirement that places responsibility on families to make sure children can safely take part in the dive portion of the event.
That water-safety detail is central to how the event works. This is not a traditional field egg hunt. It is a pool-based collection event, and children will be expected to retrieve eggs from the water on their own once the dive begins. Families planning to attend should keep that in mind before arrival.
The city has also scheduled additional activities around the main event. Face painting and deck games will run during the program, giving families something to do before and around the 1 p.m. start of the egg dive itself.
Food vendors will also be on site. Food Madness and Kona Ice are expected to sell food and drinks during the event.
For Boca Raton families, the Spring Egg Dive is part of the city’s broader recreation programming, which regularly uses public facilities to host seasonal events aimed at children and households across the community. In this case, the city is using Meadows Park Pool not just as a swim site, but as the center of a spring event that combines recreation, prizes and family programming in one place.
The Recreation Services Department manages a wide range of public amenities across Boca Raton, including 49 parks, three community centers, two aquatic facilities, two golf courses, the Gumbo Limbo Nature Center, two libraries, three tennis centers, a field house, satellite courts and fields, a cemetery, community events, landscaped roadways, three beach parks, an amphitheater, a Park Rangers unit, Ocean Rescue lifeguards and the Public Art Boca program.
That scope helps explain where this event sits within city government. The department is responsible for the facilities, staffing and public-facing recreation programming tied to city parks and community events, including seasonal programs like the Spring Egg Dive.
Residents who want to attend should know the event is free, begins at noon and takes place at Meadows Park Pool. The egg dive itself starts at 1 p.m. Children may participate, but they must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and be able to move comfortably in the water without hands-on help from an adult.
The event is expected to serve as a family-oriented spring outing with structured activities before the dive, prize redemption tied to collected eggs, and food available for purchase on site.
