Geocache Description:

This is one of 25 caches Q125 Mesquite Geocache Challenge placed within the City of Mesquite as one of the many events throughout the year to help celebrate Mesquite’s Quasquicentennial: A year-long event to foster a pride of community, as well as develop an appreciation for Mesquite’s history.

In 1993, the 73rd Texas Legislature renamed the Law Enforcement Management Institute in honor of State Representative Bill Blackwood (R-Mesquite). Bill Blackwood, a graduate of Texas A&M University, served in the Texas Legislature from 1984 through 1993. During this term, Representative Blackwood was a staunch supporter of law enforcement. In 1991, he sponsored legislation providing death benefits for the families of police officers killed in the line of duty. And, in 1987, he sponsored legislation creating the Law Enforcement Management Institute.

Blackwood Park is dedicated Bill Blackwood on June 18, 1997. On many maps the old park name of
Baker Park still appears.
