Geocache Description:

The cache is located in Oil City's Hasson Park. It was muggled this spring (2014) so I've changed it from a micro to a nano, making the cache less visible and, hopefully, less muggleable. The difficulty has been increased accordingly. Getting to GZ is easy - you can park within 40 feet of it. Actually getting your hands on the cache may not be so easy.

Please replace the cache exactly where you found it. Moving it even an inch or two can affect the difficulty.

Come prepared and use your head. Good luck!

The name - Last summer I met up with a 6-point buck while walking near GZ. Then, in the fall, I sat on a picnic table in the pavilion and watched 6 doe feed not 30 yards from me. Tonight while placing the cache there were 3 deer watching me from the woods. Each time I thought "I wish I could hunt here". It's only wishful thinking though with the park being inside city limits.

Hasson Park has several pavilions with picnic tables, playgrounds for the kids, restrooms, walking paths through the many rhododendrons which are very beautiful if you're there when they're in bloom (May-June). There is a new 18 hole disc golf course (see link) which goes throughout the park. Up top there is the Oil City pool, a skateboarding area, a deck hockey area, soccer & softball fields. It's a beautiful place for a picnic or just having some fun. Geocaching too :) The restrooms and some of the pavilions & play areas are handicap accessible.
