Canton Park District (CPD) is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year! Canton Park District includes over 1400 acres of open space and includes Wallace Park, Big Creek Park, Lakeland Park, and other smaller parks. Visitors to these parks can enjoy baseball, softball, frisbee golf, the water park, dog parks, hiking/biking trails, tennis, pickleball, and many other activities including flight lessons at the airport. Throughout 2023 we will be celebrating the centennial anniversary with many activities, including a series of geocaches. We invite you to visit our park system and enjoy all that it offers.
To celebrate the centennial and CPD's entry into geocaching, each cache contains a code. The first cache in the series contains logbooks that can be used to enter the codes inside the cache. The first 25 geocachers to find and record the codes of at least 10 caches can turn the logbook in at the Gary Baker Rec Center, located inside Big Creek Park, during normal business hours and have the option to purchase a souvenir coin for $5.
This cache is located in Wallace Park and is placed with permission of the park district. Wallace Park has a 1/2 mile paved track, playground equipment, and a baseball diamond. This is also the location of the Park District Main Office. Parking is available in three lots at the park. The park is lighted and open for walkers until 11 PM. Watch out for muggles!
