Geocache Description:

Please be careful of the landscaping

What luck. The Executive Director of the park district is a geocacher. Come on by and check out this geocache. If during the hours of 8:30 am-5 pm Monday through Friday, you might even find him in the building on the site. As a matter of fact, the cache is outside his window. The administrative and parks team know this cache is here so feel free to look without concern of business muggles.
