Geocache Description:

Easy terrain. This is our fist hide so the difficulty level is a 1. Busy area so watch for mugglers!!!

Garfield Park is Indianapolis' oldest park. In 1873 the city of Indianapolis purchased the land that is located at 2450 South Shelby Street, between Raymond and Southern Avenue. For the first few years the property was used as a horse racing track and called Southern Park. It is 122.59 acres of beautiful trees, flowers, picnic areas, and several community gathering spots.

In 1881, the park was named in honor of Hoosier native and U. S. President, James A Garfield. The late 1800's and early 1900's saw many changes and improvements in the park facilities. The Pagoda, a south side icon, was opened in 1903.

The first dedication of the Sunken Garden took place October 29, 1916. In the late 90s the city committed funds to restoring these unique gardens. The Sunken Gardens rededication on October 29, 1998, realized the goal of bringing the gardens back to the glory of the 1920's.

The hill to the east of the cache has long been known as "the sledding hill" in the winter.

The bridge close to the cache is often referred to as "Tickle Belly Hill" and kids of all ages love to get their belly "tickled" going over it.

Cache is a rubbermaid container camouflaged to make it harder to be seen by mugglers.

5/20 - NEW WATERPROOF CONTAINER! PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU SNAP THE LID ALL THE WAY ON!!

I know of two other caches in the park! Have fun caching!
