Geocache Description:

This cache was released for “The Great Northern Tier Geocaching Tournament 2009 – it is now available for any Geocachers who wishes to visit the cache after the event.

Property Description 50 acres | Established 1981
Pierce Park at the Doyle Reservation was part of a former estate assembled by Harry W. Pierce at the turn of the twentieth century. This grand estate featured a twenty-nine-room stucco mansion with a ballroom and conservatory, a matching stable, extensive horse paddocks, Pierce Pond (across Merriam Avenue), and an extensive system of bridle paths through woodland and around the pond.
Ten acres of the original landscaped grounds have been restored as a neighborhood park. Most of the trees and shrubs are from the estate's original design and plantings.
Pierce Park is a link in the Monoosnoc Trail. In addition to Pierce Park, there is small woodland behind the reproduction saltbox house at 325 Lindell Avenue, which serves as the Central Regional Office of The Trustees of Reservations. Several parcels of woodland and meadow that are part of the reservation can be seen from Lindell Avenue.

Trails
There are no formal trails at Pierce Park. A one-quarter-mile trail runs through the woodlands behind the Central Regional Office at 325 Lindell Avenue. Easy hiking.

Facilities
The Doyle Reservation is home to the Doyle Conservation Center, which was completed in Spring of 2004. The conference room at the Central Regional Office may be rented by non-profit organizations for meetings and small receptions.

Property Acquisition History
Original acreage a gift of Louise I. Doyle in 1981. Additional land purchased in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1999, and 2001.

I would like to thank The Trustees of Reservation for there assistance on the hide and for allowing us to place this cache on the property
