Geocache Description:

From the San Marco Preservation Society webpage:
Brown Whatley Park – also known as Alexandria Park – is a 2-acre passive park located at the intersection of Hendricks Avenue and Alexandria Place. The park is surrounded by single family homes that face Alexandria Place. The site is characterized by a canopy of mature oaks and sweetgum trees with grassy areas below.

From the city's webpage:
Alexandria Park was born in 1937 as part of Brown Whatley`s and Joseph Davin’s Alexandria Place subdivision in the City’s San Marco area. The park took its name from nearby Villa Alexandria, the palatial estate of Alexander and Martha Reed Mitchell that was built in the late 1870’s. After the death of Brown Whatley and his wife Marion in a 1982 automobile accident, the City renamed the park in his honor. Telfair Stockton, Brown Whatley, and Joseph Davin were the premier developers of the San Marco area in the 1920’s and 1930’s. In 1937, Whatley & Davin built the Little Theatre in San Marco, which is now the nation’s oldest community theatre group. Tree-shaded areas, numerous benches, and open spaces combine to provide a pastoral environment at this neighborhood park.
