Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Cedell Brooks, Jr. Park!

Formerly known as Shiloh Park, in 2017 its name was changed. This area was once a landfill! Now it offers a playground with a mini library, soccer fields, a baseball field, a trail, and a natural observation deck!

At the age of 28, Cedell Brooks Jr. became a King George Supervisor. He was the youngest black American elected to any Virginia county at the time. He won against the 8 year incumbent, Sidney Peterson. Brooks served for 26 years, the longest of any continuously serving official in the county. During his service, he campaigned for this very park, and that is why it bears his name.

The geocache placed here is in a small container. 

FTF will also receive a coin and code for Premium Membership to Geocaching.com. CONGRATS russrub for being the FTF!

Enjoy the park and remember to leave it better than you found it!

 

 

4/29/22 update: This has been muggled twice before. Please do what you can to keep it hidden and avoid muggles at all cost!

8/7/22: replacement made once again. This one is a little different and about 3ft away from the original location to keep it hidden. This one requires a code, which is the year this park received its current name. Answer will be in the hint. 

9/8/23: replaced again, micro cache  

PLEASE SECURE CACHE WHEN DONE
