Abandoned Park Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time or has had no owner response for at least 30 days, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:

The cache is a short walk from the parking lot into a small field.  The container is big enough to hold a few small trinkets.  BYOP.


I wish I knew more of the history of this park.  It appears to be a deserted lake that is owned and managed by West Milford parks department.  A large recreation facility on this property was leased to the West Milford PAL in the mid 90's.  The PAL didn't pay the lease and after owing the town over $100,000 in back rent, the town finally evicted them. Now the building sits empty.  The park itself is still well maintained and it’s a great spot to have lunch, feed the ducks, or do a little fishing with the kids.
