Geocache Description:


Micke Grove Park has many areas to explore and wander through. Many park visitors first glance of the park is that of green grass and many young trees spread amongst the disc golf course. It is as you continue past the young trees that you begin to see Micke Grove park as it once was many years ago. Giant and grand Valley Oak trees are scattered through the park. Points of interest include a zoo, a small amusement park, picnic shelters, several horseshoe pits, and a historical museum.

 

Be sure to take a look at the trees and find your favorite. Feel free to post a picture in your log. Happy Wandering!
