Geocache Description:


The JaxParks Challenge


Since Geocaching and parks kind of go hand in hand, The City of Jacksonville, The Cache Station and The Friends of JaxParks would like to welcome you to The JaxParks Challenge.

There has been 34 caches hidden just for this purpose. Inside each one is a special code word that you will need to record for verification of visiting the cache.

For all those committed to completing the challenge, there will be a special trackable Geocoin.

Upon completion of the Parks Challenge you will email The JaxParks Rep with the list of code words that you retrieved from the Geocaches.
About the Park


Boone Park:

Boone Park is located in the Avondale area. The City purchased most of the property from William Elijah Boone and four other owners in 1926. Mr. Boone (1853-1938) bought and then rebuilt locomotives, which he leased to local industries in North Florida and South Georgia. In 1937, the “little house” was constructed on the grounds for use by the Girl Scouts, and the first tennis courts were built sometime prior to 1946. After the tennis clubhouse opened in 1950, the park hosted the City’s major, public tennis tournaments for decades. Riverside Avondale Preservation (RAP) has worked extensively for improvements at the park in recent years. Two of its sponsored committees (for the North and South portions of the park respectively), led by Doris Keith and Richard Skinner, oversaw major renovations between 1997 and 2003, with substantial funding and assistance provided by City Councilman Jim Overton and the DPRE.
