A MUST-DO activity every time you visit Big Creek Park 🌼✨
This time it felt a bit more empty, but I decided to leave something really special: a 1 quetzal bill from Guatemala 🇬🇹 It’s such a unique piece, and I love the idea that someone who’s never seen this currency before might come across it and keep it as a tiny treasure.
For my trade, I found the cutest little crochet flower 🌸 You could tell it was handmade with care, and I absolutely loved it.
Also… the Geodude Pokémon card is STILL there 😠That one is actually really special to me because I pulled it from a booster pack I bought in Paris, and it’s in French. It’s such a unique little piece, so I lowkey hope someone has already picked it up and given it a new home 🥹
Thank you to everyone who keeps this going, it honestly makes this a must-do every time I visit the park. It brings such a sweet sense of community.
Also, the park is still FULL of yellow flowers right now … don’t miss it 💛✨
Visiting Big Creek Park is always a refreshing experience, especially when you take part in its unique trinket exchange tradition. Over time, I’ve noticed how this activity turns a simple park visit into a meaningful moment of connection. Each time I visit, I try to leave something special behind—once, a 1 quetzal bill from Guatemala, a currency not commonly seen here. It’s exciting to think that someone might discover this tiny treasure and learn about a faraway country through it. What makes this exchange even more delightful is finding handcrafted items like crochet flowers. These little gifts carry warmth and creativity from fellow visitors and remind me that even in public spaces, personal touches can brighten someone’s day. One memorable find was a Geodude Pokémon card, unique because it’s in French and was originally purchased in Paris. It felt special, knowing it had traveled places through this small community. Aside from the trinkets, the park’s scenery adds to the experience—especially now when it's adorned with a full bloom of yellow flowers. These vibrant petals create a sunny backdrop, making the search for trinkets feel like a treasure hunt in a sea of gold. If you ever find yourself at Big Creek Park, I highly recommend joining this informal tradition. Bring a small, meaningful item to leave behind and take home a keepsake that might tell a story. It’s an enriching way to engage with community spirit, add a touch of adventure to your walk, and make your visit truly memorable.
