Geocache Description:

Come visit Leonard Park in Gainesville, TX! This great park offers something for everyone and now has a micro cache. Be sure to visit the virtual cache by the main entrance: Honor the Fallen (GC9558) by Mountain Trooper.

In the early days the "forty-niners" traveled through Gainesville to search for gold out west. California Street was named for this reason. Be like a Forty-Niner......from I 35 exit at California street and go west! You won't find gold but you'll see Leonard Park where you can search for a cache and enjoy a fantastic park.

The road through Leonard Park is a ONE WAY LOOP so be sure to look for the correct entrance. There are picnic areas, a huge playground, an outdoor swimming pool, ball fields, a small train to ride, and the Frank Buck Zoo. The zoo is now open after a recent renovation project so stop in if you have the time. From Thanksgiving to Christmas the park also hosts a holiday light display.

The cache is hidden in an area that can be packed with muggles or completely deserted. It just depends on the day, time, and season.

Leonard park is closed from 11:00 p.m to 6:00 a.m.
