Geocache Description:


Check out historyic Hamner Tower Park. It's a relatively open field sprinkled with large pines and big oaks.  Great for picnics with the fam and some frisbee or soccer. The cache has some small figurines in it so feel free to take one and give one. The cache is up high but doesn't require a ladder or anything like that. Have fun!!!

A little history:

"The tower is a remnant from when this area of the County was more rural. The eighty-five-foot tower was constructed in 1936 as a fire lookout. As this area of the county became more urbanized and served by the fire department, the structure fell into disuse. In the early 1990's, the fire tower and the 8.7 acres surrounding it were threatened by impending sale and subsequent development. A group of residents banned together to save the historic treasure and the natural environment surrounding it. Hillsborough County bought the land and the tower through the Environmental Lands Acquisition and Protection Program (ELAPP) and turned the small parcel on the corner of Fletcher Avenue and North Boulevard into its first urban wildlife preserve."
