Parking:

Visitors can enter the Oak Forest Heritage Preserve off 159th Street, through the Medical Center's main entrance, and follow the signs (just tell security that you are visiting the Heritage Preserve). Parking is also available through the parking lot on Fieldcrest Drive just off of Pulaski or at the Fieldcrest Park parking lot.


Notes:

  • Bring your camera! This is a beautiful preserve with a lot of wildlife, history, and many informative signs.
  • This is a forest preserve and I suggest bug repellent and long pants. Watch for poison ivy, although I tried to place all caches away from it, you may run into it. There are also ticks in the area.
  • This series can be done walking, running, or biking.
  • Dogs are allowed, but must be leashed at all times.
  • Do not place the following items in the Geocache: Food items, inappropriate, offensive, or hazardous materials.
  • Hours are sunrise until sunset. Preserve users must not be in the preserves after hours.
  • Please remember, it’s not an official find until you log it online.
