The staff of the Parks & Recreation Department of the City of Germantown has been very supportive of geocaching within the city. They are providing the use of the large pavilion in one of the larger city parks (i.e., Cameron Brown Park). There is ample parking in the park and there are several geocaches located nearby.

Cameron Brown is a 55-acre park located on Farmington Boulevard and it contains four lighted baseball/softball fields, one lighted high school regulation baseball field, one lighted combination football/soccer field, a batting cage, two lighted tennis courts, 1.5 miles of paved hiking trails, a large pavilion, a three-acre lake, two playgrounds, 32 picnic sites with tables, grills and trash receptacles, electronic scoreboards, concession buildings, restrooms and water fountains. The park opens at dawn and closes at 11pm daily.

If you plan to attend please indicate that on this web page so we will know exactly how many folks to expect.  We look forward to seeing you on March 2!
