Geocache Description:

Please consider walking, public transportation, or riding your bike!

Located near the North Park Village Recycling Station and Gymnastics Center. Enter from Pulaski Road just south of Peterson Ave.

You are looking for a white plastic screw-top container about 1 quart in size. Please perform CITO (cache in trash out) if needed; thank you!

This somewhat hidden grassy area shares a parking lot with the recycling station and gymnastics center, and is occasionally used by the Nature Center which owns the property to the north.

The entire north park village was once the "Chicago Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium." It was built in what was the outskirts of the burgeoning city back in 1911. A village was created to quarantine, treat and house those afflicted with tuberculosis. The buffer of nature was kept to prevent the disease from getting out, heal the patients, and entertain all. Portions were changed into paths, gardens for growing food, fields to play and a pond for recreation. What is now the Administration Building was originally built as their hospital. The building that would become the Nature Center was a dispensary, where those who were able to live independently in cottages would come to get their medication.
