Geocache Description:

Cache is a camo cream cheese container. You will have to make your way through some under growth to get to it. Please use a little force when putting it back so it's secure. Street parking is available on the south side of North Park Blvd. during daylight hours.  BYOP and happy hunting!


I wanted to place a cache here because it is a beautiful park that almost wasn't.  In 1963, a plan by Cuyahoga County Engineer and Democratic Party leader Albert Porter to run the Clark, Lee and Heights freeways through the two suburbs sparked outrage among its residents. Porter, a powerful politician whose leadership at the County Engineer's Office from 1943 onward had contributed to the success of the Post-war freeway construction boom, soon emerged as the prime villain in the affair, brashly demanding for construction to commence despite a number of protests.  For more history please see the links below.

I grew up in Cleveland Heights and have many happy memories of exploring these lakes as a kid.  Now we go to bird watch and it's a great spot to see great blue herons and red wing black birds.
