CHINO CHALLENGE
Are you ready for a challenge, Chino?

Chino Challenge
The City of Chino is known as the city "Where Everything Grows." As spring approaches, you and your family are challenged to go on a walk, run, or drive around Chino and capture your favorite plants, trees, gardens, or green locations.  Send those photos, with the location and a brief description of why those locations and plants stood out to you the most, to healthychino@cityofchino.org. Submissions will be entered into a raffle to win a gift card. Have fun and enjoy your time outside.


Nature Hunt Bingo


Spring is the perfect time for some fresh air!  Head outside or to one of Chino's many parks with the entire family and play nature hunt bingo.  See what you can spot.  Post your nature hunt bingo finds using #ChinoHomeRec.  Click on the picture to download the bingo card.
