Egg Hunt and Farewell Party Set for Kids Castle

It will be the last time Kids Castle will be open for playtime before being closed for a months-long refurbishment.

If your kids love Kids Castle, they've got one more chance to play there before it closes for months.

Kids Castle, in Doylestown Township's Central Park, is in need of repair, refurbishment and replacement. It will close in a few weeks for the upgrade project to commence; organizers hope to see the Castle reopen in June.

To mark the playground's closing, have fun, and raise some more money for the restoration effort, the Save Kids Castle committee will host an egg hunt and "wrap party."
