WHAT: Spring CITO in Guldlin Park
WHEN: Saturday, April 6, 2019 10:00am - 11:15am
WHERE: Guldlin Park, Fort Wayne, In.

Fort Wayne has many parks to enjoy. This one in particular is rich in history, small, relatively unknown and a part of the Riverfront development project the City is undertaking. All are welcome to help clean up this little park making it a geocaching friendly park. Bring your family, friends, and people who might be interested in learning more about Geocaching. There is another small park, Bloomingdale Park, that is adjacent to Guldlin Park. It has a small playground complete with swings and playground toys. The City of Fort Wayne will provide tools, bags and water. Please feel free to bring anything you think you’ll need to assist with the cleanup process (gloves, grabbers, hedge trimmer, favorite shovel, etc.). There is a parking lot at GZ along with a boat ramp. The St. Mary’s river carves a winding path forming the borders of this park. We will meet in the parking lot and then break out to start cleanup. (Look for the Northeast Indiana Geocachers banner). I will provide water and possibly other things at the command center. Cant wait to see everyone there! Remember, Geocaching may be Dangerous! History: Guldlin Park is located at Van Buren Street and Michaels Avenue along the St. Mary's River. For more detailed location information, check out the General Park Map or Guldlin Park Map
History:
Purchased in 1897 for seven thousand dollars, the land that would become Guldlin Park was originally intended to be used as the location of a water pumping station. Before construction began, it was decided that the station should be built on the other side of St. Mary's River, and the originally proposed plot of land was left vacant. It was at that point that Mr. Olaf N. Guldlin, realizing that the land would make a fine children's park, donated the necessary playground equipment that would make his idea a reality. This park overlooks the St. Mary's River and today has a boat ramp and fishing access as well as natural open space.
