Geocache Description:

You are looking for a small camoed pill bottle, that contains only a log sheet. BYOP

Please place back in exact location.

With its entrance located on Cowden Road, the park features four walking trails and a new playground. Mike Heher, Poland Park board chairman, says the vision of the park actually began in 2005. Recent dedication and resources have made that vision a reality.

An employee of Carbon Limestone Sanitary Landfill, came to an agreement with the landfill in regard to the property of the current Poland park.

“We agreed to lease the property to Poland Township for $1 a year for 100 years,”

Land for the park belongs to Poland Township and is leased at a low rate so residents can enjoy the resources the park has to offer.

The trails in the park include specially-marked trees that are native to Ohio. They are also covered with fresh mulch which makes walking easier and more enjoyable.

The park also features a wildlife food plot filled with millet and clover. The clover is expected to help feed the park’s wildlife through spring.

Twenty-four species of birds are said to be present in the park, according a bird count sponsored by Cornell University in December. Sixty nesting boxes have been placed throughout the park in hopes of improving bird habitat and encouraging the birds to make the park their permanent home.

Planting new grass around the playground and spreading more mulch throughout the park is also on the to-do list. As for now, there is plenty of open area for recreational events, picnics and family outings.
