| Saturday, March 21, 9 to 9:45 a.m. (and a later session) | Underwater Egg Hunt in the pool | Dulles South Recreation and Community Center, South Riding | All ages |

At Hanson, children bring their own basket and trade the dinosaur eggs for a prize. At Claude Moore Park, each participating child took home an egg-layer stuffed toy. The Bles Park hunt is part of the parks department’s monthly guided Saturday hikes; the trails there are unpaved, so strollers must handle rough ground.
Also in 2026, the Ashburn Recreation and Community Center, 21105 Coopers Hawk Drive, held Burnie’s Spring Splash, a movie night in the leisure pool for ages 3 and older, on Friday, March 27, and its Spring Fling with food trucks and bounce houses on Saturday, May 9.
