Allardale,
one of the most scenic parks in Medina County, is located in
Granger Township. Named after Stan and Esther Allard who donated
their family farm to the park district in 1992, this rolling site
offers a wide variety of habitats and scenic areas. A tribute to
the Allard's commitment to land stewardship, this site boasts one
of the finest reforestation areas in the state of Ohio. Beginning
in the 1930s, Stan Allard planted trees on areas too steep to farm.
Over his lifetime, more than 100,000 trees were planted at
Allardale. The nature trails provide visitors an opportunity to
view these tree plantings, from the newest stands of Tulip Poplar
and Oaks to mature woods. This park also has a reservable picnic
shelter, sledding hill and a paved, accessible trail.
The trail to the cache can be accessed from the parking lot. A
regular sized container is located approx. 25 feet off the trail,
so please do not bushwhack. Please remember to cache in and trash
out. Park closes at dark. Round trip distance from parking lot to
cache is approximately 1 mile.
This cache will expire on November 30, 2011.
