Forest Park Traditional Cache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

Mongo: Greetings,

This geocache looks like it might need some attention. The recent logs may contain more details about what sort of maintenance needs to be performed. This could be anything from a new logbook to replacing a missing container. Here are the things we need for you to perform.

  • Write a note: If you are unable to provide maintenance then post a note detailing exactly what your plan is. This will give you around thirty (30) days to accomplish maintenance on the geocache. Ownership after publication.
  • Maintenance: Visit your geocache, make any needed repairs, and post an “Owner Maintenance” log so the community knows it’s available to find. By posting an Owner maintenance log it will automatically remove the "Owner attention requested" icon.
  • Archive: If you decide it is time for your geocache to be permanently retired, please archive the listing and retrieve all physical stages. If a cache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance, it will not be unarchived.

For tips about how to perform maintenance and to learn why Geocaching HQ sends occasional geocache maintenance reminders, please see this Help Center article.

Thanks,
Mongo

FOREST PARK
Lindell and Kingshighway
Ordinance Date: 1874
1,370 Acres
Purchased - Deed
$849,058.61
Forest Park is one of St. Louis' most treasured resources.
Owned and operated by the City of St. Louis, Forest Park is one of 105 city parks under the jurisdiction of the Department of Parks, Recreation and Forestry.
Forest Park, officially opened to the public on June 24, 1876, is one of the largest urban parks in the United States. At 1,293 acres, it is approximately 500 acres larger than Central Park in New York.
It is the home to the region’s major cultural institutions—the Zoo, Art Museum, History Museum, Science Center and the Muny Opera. It also serves as a sports center for golf, tennis, baseball, bicycling, boating, fishing, handball, ice skating, roller blading, jogging, rugby and more.
Forest Park is equally significant from a naturalistic perspective. In a city where 80% of the land has been developed for business, industry or residential uses, the park serves as a natural oasis for the city, an important source of green space, a respite for migrating birds, and an integrated ecosystem where humans and nature interact.

It would help if you sing or hum Glen Frey song. 'Cause you belong to the city
You belong to the night
Livin' in a river of darkness
Beneath the neon lights You were born in the city
Concrete under your feet
It's in your moves, it's in your blood
You're a man of the streets
