Green Leaf Park was the first land to be
developed as a county park. It was once a gravel pit but visitors
to the park would never know its past as they enjoy the grassy
slopes and wooded nature trail. The park provides the setting for
the early 1800's Hard family log cabin. One of the earliest homes
known to exist in the county, this structure was moved to the park
by the Sharon Historical Society. The Medina County Herb Society
maintains an herb garden near the cabin for park visitors to enjoy.
Other park amenities include: a small fishing pond, active
recreation facilities in the form of a football/soccer field, two
reservable picnic shelters, and a sledding hill.
Less than a half mile round-trip hike will be required to get
this cache. Begin from the south parking lot (coordinates listed
below) and use your GPS or the poem below to get you from there to
the cache.
In SOUTH lot, park your car,
The trail sign is not too far.
By the shelter, face to the right,
The path you seek will be in sight!
Down the path to the end,
Don't go right, till you're at the bend.
Hear the peepers, birds and frogs?
This is a bountiful nature's bog!
Soon on the left is a small field,
Now it's time for you to yield!
See the sunny bench facing you?
Look around before you do...
Make sure no one is coming down!
Then look BEHIND it, on the ground.
Beneath a bush, east of the sticks,
Look for a stump, now make it quick!
The cache, a regular sized lock-n-lock container, is located
about 4-5 feet from the trail, so please do not bushwhack. Please
remember to cache in and trash out. Park closes at dark.
This cache will expire on October 31,
2010.
If you have questions or concerns about any of
