Just a quick walk in the park for most of you. No real details to put here as this one is straight forward. ;~) For extra fun, try doing this cache at night! The most important thing with this one is to not be seen! Make sure to rehide the cache better than you found it! The current lack of foliage makes the possible hiding spaces for this cache very low, so please try to be careful and keep the vegatation alive. If this is not done then it will be plundered since this park is very very busy at times and heavily travelled.
This park is dog friendly. :~) During most daylight hours dogs are even allowed to be off their leashes and run around (as long as they know to come back at some point). Please check one of the signs around the park's perimeter to verify the hours that dogs may run loose.
This geocache was placed here because at one time there was another fantastic family accessible cache in the area that was very popular. The other cache has since been archived. For details on that cache, check out "Lighthouse" (you must be logged in to the site to view this cache since it is archived).
