Johnson County Park & Recreation District (JCPRD) is celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2015. The District is a leader in its field providing the community with top quality parks and recreational opportunities while being responsible stewards of all our resources. The District’s contributions to the personal lives of Johnson County’s citizens have earned the District local appreciation and national acclaim. Each year the District records more than 7 million park visitors and over 2 million recreation participations in over 4,000 programs. Their slogan is “What do YOU do for fun? If you are reading this, one answer is probably Geocaching. The District is planning many special activities throughout the year. With that in mind, and with the District’s approval we bring you 60 JCPRD caches, one for each of their 60 years. This series highlights the District’s parklands with 15 different caches listed below. The outstanding parks and recreational resources managed by the District are among Johnson County’s most popular and valuable community assets. The tremendous popularity of their parks and the wide variety of recreational opportunities they provide is a reflection of the vital role the District plays in making Johnson County one of the most livable communities in America. Each park has a cache with a code in it. Collect all 15 and you will have the coordinates to this series final. Some of these caches are located at future parklands and some are located within existing parks. Enjoy these gems of the county and happy caching, but most of all have FUN!
This cache is for Stilwell Community Park, JCPRD’s newest park which was dedicated on June 29th, 2015. This is a small sub-regional park to serve the Stilwell area. It features a parking area and over one mile of paved, multi-use trail. One side of the park is an open maintained grass area for activities while most of the trail loops through a native prairie grass field. This is expected to be the southern end of the Camp Branch Creek Streamway Park trail. Other features are planned for future development in this park. This park is expected to serve as a town square for the community. This cache is now nesting in its regular home and ready to be found. You are looking for a small camo LnL but you will need to navigate through tall grassland, possible standing water in rainy times, and a few thorn trees to earn this find..
