In 2002, during "The Year of The Trails" construction began on the
comprehensive multi-purpose walkway and trail within the park. In
July 2005, the LifeTrail® system was installed and thus the theme
of this cache. LifeTrail® is a series of outdoor fitness station
designed specifically to meet the needs of the active older adult.
As you head to this cache, enjoy the walk on the paved trail and
stop to try out the variety of physical fitness activities.
Konkel Park has public restrooms, bubbler (water fountain) and
pay phone during the summer months. The playground equipment is
always popular with the kids. Sorry, dogs are not allowed in the
City of Greenfield Parks. Park hours are sunrise until 10 PM. It is
not recommended you search for this one before/ after those hours
as the Police station is right across the street.
This is a micro cache, a pencil was provided when it was hidden
however, bring your own pen/pencil just to be sure. Please leave
only your signature in the log and no goodies in this cache.
8/30/06 The Parks Supervisor has noted damage on the skirts of
the light poles in this area. This is not a "skirtlifter" cache,
you should not be searching under the light poles. Thank
you
1/31/07 - The trails at Konkel Park are NOT plowed. It is
suggested that you park in the lot and trek across the "tundra". Be
aware of the wind chill factor as this could be a cold and windy
walk. The cache hide IS winter friendly.
