In the middle 1970s, benefactor Burton Morris donated land in an
undeveloped area in the City of Adams for a Little League Park. The
baseball diamond and the tennis courts were the first things to go
up in the park, and later came some playground equipment and some
wood-chipped walking trails, along with two more playing fields. A
picnic/gathering shelter was also built, and the ball diamonds got
upgrades with dugouts and scoreboards. Summer-use bathrooms get a
workout during ball season.
With all of the work that has gone on in the park and
surrounding area, the trails are mostly gone now, but a new trail
is in the works to connect an assisted living center and the newer
senior housing units to the community center/library and the
shopping center (in which the first store opened in 1998).
This place is busy most evenings from May through July, with all
the diamonds being used for Little League and softball practice
and/or games, and there are often gatherings at the shelter or
tennis players on the courts. There are three parking areas, with
the closest one to this cache being the extension of College
Street; however, the city dumps excess snow there in the
winter.
Burt Morris continues to provide for the well-being of the City
of Adams, and it is for him this park is named.
Available in winter, but harder to find in deep snow.
Park hours are dawn to dusk.
DO NOT SEEK THIS CACHE AT NIGHT!
DOGS MUST BE ON A LEASH!
