Geocache Description:

Welcome to Jack D. Hughes Memorial Park in downtown Pineville.

I pass this park frequently and had never visited until last week. I thought that it is a shame that such a nice park does not have even a single cache. So I decided to fix that issue.


Jack D. Hughes Park was opened in the early 1960s and in 2000 the Town decided this park will host tournaments year round that are sure to fill the grandstands with thousands of visitors to the community each year. Pineville Parks and Recreation is very excited about the additions of the new renovated Jack D. Hughes Memorial Park.

Park Features

  • Multipurpose Field (soccer/Lacrosse/ Football)
  • 2 softball fields
  • 250 seat collegiate size baseball stadium
  • 2 batting cages
  • 2 restroom/Concession Buildings
  • Playground
  • 3 picnic shelters
  • 1.5 mile walking trail

The few times when I visited this park there were no games going on so there were very few people here. I don't know how busy this park gets or how often there are ball games with lots of muggle traffic. If you catch the park deserted as it was when I hid the cache, it should be easy to find without being observed. If however there is a ball game going on, it might be better to come back another day as the area where the cache is hidden is sure to be very crowded with muggles. Please respect the park hours. Probably not a good idea to try this one at night after the park is closed as the park is right beside the police department.

BYOP and tweezers.

And congratulations to w0nd3rb0y for FTF. Maybe I should just start putting this line in my original posts since he seems to be "Johny on the Spot" lately ;-)
