Ed Austin
This cache was originally part of the 2014 JaxParks Challenge.
Since Geocaching and parks kind of go hand in hand, we decided to keep this cache around for you to continue to enjoy!!
GeoCache Description:
Cachers are seeking a camo'd jar hidden near the far corner of the trails in Ed Austin Regional Park. Please be sure to rehide the container using naturally available camo to keep it out of sight of muggles.
Park History
The City of Jacksonville purchased this 144-acre site in 1994, and was formerly the Dunes Golf course. Among the amenities at this large, Arlington-area park is the City`s top disc golf course. Also known as the "Fore Palms Disc Golf Club," this 18-hole layout includes open and tree-lined fairways through the park on a course carefully designed to challenge all levels of players. Tournaments and weekly events are available for more advanced players, while beginners of all ages can learn the game and the techniques from advanced players and disc-golf professionals who frequent the course. The park also includes lighted baseball fields, soccer fields, walking trail, a community center operated by the Police Athletic League, playground equipment and picnic areas. Formerly known as District II Regional Park, it was renamed in May 2005 in honor of former Jacksonville Mayor Ed Austin.
