<p>Johnson County Park & Recreation District (JCPRD) is celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2015. The District is a leader in its field providing the community with top quality parks and recreational opportunities while being responsible stewards of all our resources. The District’s contributions to the personal lives of Johnson County’s citizens have earned the District local appreciation and national acclaim. Each year the District records more than 7 million park visitors and over 2 million recreation participations in over 4,000 programs. Their slogan is “What do YOU do for fun? If you are reading this, one answer is probably Geocaching. The District is planning many special activities throughout the year. With that in mind, and with the District’s approval we bring you 60 JCPRD caches, one for each of their 60 years. This series highlights some of the District’s specialized departments and programs with 15 different caches listed below. Most of these areas are within the Safety and Outdoor Education and the Recreation Divisions and may not be as widely known as the Parks and Golf Course Division. Each specialty area has a cache with a code in it. Collect all 15 and you will have the coordinates to this series final. These caches are hidden in a variety of locations and not all will be on District land. Enjoy these gems of the county and happy caching, but most of all have FUN!</p>
<p>This cache is for the Community Wellness Department. “Get fit! Be active!” This is the goal of this department. They have a healthy assortment of offerings to help you be fit. Cardio, Yoga and Pilates are just a sampling of the classes available for individuals, groups or companies. Another special offering is their T.A.K.E. Defense Training, providing girls and women of all ages with a unique reality-based hands on self-defense training in memory of Ali Kemp. These healthy and busy folks also put special events like duathlons and triathlons, often teaming with partners like Olathe Medical Center on the annual Women’s Triathlon & Duathlon in the fall. Although their goal is to keep you away from places like this, you have been brought to this fine partner of JCPRD and their Community Wellness group for a little healthy exercise finding this cache. You will be looking for a small plastic container hidden away lakeside.</p>
