Geocache Description:

One of a series of Caches inside Laurel Hollow Park. Park is open Dawn to Dusk. SMILE! Park is under surveillance. Pint Size Cache. Enjoy the park. Terrain rating based on using established trails.

Welcome to Laurel Hollow Park.  Laurel Hollow is an enchanting place. This is the first of a series of Geocaches throughout the park.  See western Entrance for informational kiosk. At the turn of the century, Laurel Hollow was re-born from just a park, into a Zoo that was quickly abandoned in 1912. Complete with seals, monkeys, raccoons, squirrels, deer, geese, swans, ducks, alligators, and polar bears -to mention a few. A variety of seemingly ancient trees abound. Quite a few 100+ year old park structures/remnants remain. Wildlife is very abundant throughout the park. A visit to www.laurelhollowpark.net will greatly enhance your visit to the park.  The website has a vast collection of well organized photos and information of the park and nearby local history.  The park contains a few miles of well marked trails.  Picnic tables and grills are available.  Dog walking on leash is welcome. Thank you to the Newell Community Improvemet Coalition (NCIC)for supporting the placement of a series of caches within this park.  Since 2008, the NCIC has leased the park from gracious Homer Laughlin China Co. for community use.  The NCIC continues to do an amazingly balanced job of restoring this park, that now, once again, hosts community events.  The park trails have always seemed to attract pairs of lovers of all ages.  It a storybook hike. You will/might find: Circular Flower Garden, The Bears Den Ampitheater, The Squirrell Cottage, The 2nd Spring, The Stone Bridges & Brick Tunnels amongst others, if you look hard enough.  Just trying to locate and mentally visualize the original park contents is a geo-game of it's own! ***No Caches are hidden in the Circular Flower Garden or the Bears Den! A few caches in the park contain CITO supplies. Please grab a bag! Photobucket LHP Trail Map - via GPS breadcrumbs averaged over multiple passes.
