This new park is still in the development phase, but I thought it needed a cache to celebrate its growth. Small snuff container to start with, but as this area grows, it will definitely need a regular size cache. I will keep my eyes open for the right place and time. The rating is based on the fact that the walk along the path is about 1 mile. Enjoy the walk. Parking is located off of 700W.
