Geocache Description:



Saturday April 18th, 2009

Please come out and help us keep the Appleton parks and trails clean. With 2009 being the 3rd consecutive year of having a spring CITO geocaching event in Appleton we will be cleaning 3 city parks: Alicia, Lutz, & Pierce (3 for 3) and we need your help! Let's give back something to Appleton for allowing geocachers to hide & seek geocaches in our city parks and along the trails.

This is an excellent opportunity to clean up the city's most recognized parks:
Pierce Park (Map) Is one of Appleton's larger parks at just over 36 acres. Pierce park hosts the City Band in the summer and a number of well attended events like the Annual Car Show and Numerous Ethnic Festivals.
Lutz Park (Map) is one of Appleton's smallest parks at 2.7 acres but this green space offers a great view of the Fox River. Lutz park is a location with a great deal of Historical significance and also host to the Yatch Club
Alicia Park (Map) is a 12 acre riverside park which is named after the wife of Alexander Reid, an early editor of the Appleton Daily Post.

On April 18th we will meet at the posted coordinates (the large pavilion at Pierce Park) at 9am to begin the cleanup portion of the event.

Event Schedule:
9:00am - 9:15am Registration & Coffee fill-up
9:15am Cleanup Begins
12:00pm Group Picture, Prizes, Potluck Lunch & Socializing in the Pierce Park Pavillion

Please come dressed to cleanup trash. Also, please bring your own gloves and be ready to work.
