Geocache Description:

You're looking for a camo painted 1 quart plastic container in a small Jacksonville city park. Park hours are from Sunrise to 10pm. Be sure to check out the benchmark (BC2039) in this park while you're here.

The name of this park, Forestry Tower Park, derives from a former fire lookout tower that rises 100 feet above the grounds. It was called the Flagler Fire Tower (Henry Flagler’s FEC Railway line to the beach passed adjacent to the property) after being moved to the site by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1938, and renamed the Southside Fire Tower in 1959. The property also contained a residence for the fire lookout (later mobile homes). But the Division of Forestry closed the operation in 1992, and was designated a local landmark in 1996. The city purchased the tract for a park the next year.
