Well, I've never created a crossword puzzle before [not true], and I'm sure those who create them will find lots of faults in this one. But, those people probably have specialized tools to make the creation easier. I also don't think I've created a KPC puzzle beginning with the letter 'X' before [also not true]. So, hope this works out. I didn't even know this park was here until the kids had a party here last month.

Special Notes about the 2024 Puzzle Challenge: To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with Certitude. Finders will receive Top Finder points when submitting Found It logs to the cache page. All "point" scoring is arbitrary, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and probably completely meaningless (unless you just want to be announced sooner at the celebration party, which will probably happen on March 16th happen on March 15th, 2025). The real challenge is to see whether I can keep from getting so frustrated by submitting caches that I decide to quit! To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.
Special Notes about this month's puzzle: Had to hide this earlier than usual because I was out of town. Hopefully, nobody blocked me by hiding something else in this area.
You can validate your puzzle solution with
certitude.
