Geocache Description:


Known in the cycling community as the "track of dreams," the Kissena Velodrome is a 400-meter, state-of-the-art track that boasts asphalt pavement finished with a special acrylic seal coat, landscaping and trees, bleachers, a custom-designed perimeter fence, regulation racing lines, and new drainage. The Kissena Velodrome has been transformed from a patchwork, bumpy track into a sleek, state-of-the-art cycling facility.

In 1962, Robert Moses built the Kissena Velodrome on Booth Memorial Avenue at Parsons Boulevard. Kissena racers dominated the 1964 Olympic Trials at the Velodrome, taking five of eight places on the U.S. squad. The Siegfried Stern Kissena Park Bicycle Track was named for Siegfried Stern, treasurer for Hartz Mountain Products and benefactor of many Jewish organizations. The Kissena Velodrome has produced many Olympians and world-class cyclists. - NYC Parks website

Cache should be easy to find although it is well guarded.
