Geocache Description:

One in a series of Caches in Laurel Hollow Park. Park is open Dawn to Dusk. SMILE!  Park is under surveillance. Enjoy the park.  GZ is nearby The Stone Squirrel Cottage. This little structure has remained for over 100 years, left all to it's own.  Impressive. Please Respect it! BEWARE OF MUGGLES HERE!!!! Stealth & patience possibly required. Placed With Permission. In the style of a swiss cottage, it was used for a Squirrel exhibit in the zoo.

Welcome to Laurel Hollow Park. Laurel Hollow is an enchanting place. This is part of a series of Geocaches throughout the park. See western Entrance for informational kiosk containing alot of historical photos and information.

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 towering trees abound. Quite a few 100+ year old park remnants remain.
A vast variety wildlife is quite abundant throughout the park.
A visit to www.laurelhollowpark.net will greatly enhance your visit. 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. Responsible 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. and has strived to revive it for community use. The NCIC continues to do an amazingly balanced job of restoring this park, that now, once again, hosts community events & seems constantly filled with visitors. The park trails have always seemed to attract pairs of lovers of all ages. It's a storybook hike and the kind of place you'll be eager to share with others.

You will/might find: Circular Flower Garden, The Bears Den Ampitheater, The Squirrel Cottage, The Laurel Spring(s 4?), The Stone Bridges & Brick Tunnels amongst others, if you look hard enough. Where were the raccoons, the monkeys, or the seals? 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!
