Spooky Treat Trolley hits Dana Point parks for Halloween fun

Hundreds of kids and their parents turned out at Pines Park on Friday, Oct. 30, to take advantage of Dana Point’s novel way of helping kids safely celebrate trick-or-treating during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Spooky Treat Trolley – the brainchild of the city’s Recreation Department –  traveled to five city parks, starting at Pines Park and ending at La Plaza Park.

Staff aboard the Halloween-decorated trolley distributed candy through a long tube that deposited the treats safely into a bucket at each location.
