SIDNEY -- Sidney's Legion Park has been added to a list of stops in "The Great Park Pursuit."

Near the entrance to the remodeled and updated park at Legion Park stands a lone post. The olive-green post has a sign in the diagonally cut top identifying it as part of the Great Park Pursuit. 

For a fun summer adventure exploring Nebraska parks with friends and family, sign up for the Great Park Pursuit. In this free program, players can visit up to 20 official park sites across the state, where a Great Park Pursuit post is hidden. Teams follow clues to the post and prove they were there with the free mobile app, or by making a pencil impression of the post to mail in. The app makes it fast and easy to sign up and log site visits, so you can spend more time out exploring parks.

Visit at least two of the various parks in the state and get your name entered in a drawing for chance for prizes; visit more parks and earn more chances to win a prize. Prizes vary from backyard game packages to cabin stays with the grand prize is an outdoor recreation package valued at $1,500. Players follow clues that will lead them to a GPP post, where they use a pencil to make an impression of the post or use the mobile app to prove they were there. Prizes and entry into drawings are based on the number of impressions collected.

The goal of the GPP, a partnership between the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and the Nebraska Recreation and Park Association, is to promote active lifestyles while increasing awareness of the state’s nature-rich outdoor recreation opportunities.

Since 2008 more than 24,000 Nebraskans have enjoyed the adventure the Great Park Pursuit offers.
