This is the third in my Forest Park series. Not quite a dash and cache but close. Located between the main drive and the bridle path. Had some poor coords at the start but the listed coords are now correct. I may make it into a Travel Bug B&B after I am sure it's a secure spot.
Forest Park
538 Acres
Forest Park is the third largest park in Queens. It is surrounded by five ethnically diverse neighborhoods, Richmond Hill, Kew Gardens, Forest Hills, Woodhaven and Glendale.
The History of Forest Park dates back to 1895 when officials of Brooklyn's western district began to search for a place to develop a recreational facility for their constituents who were living in greatly overcrowded conditions. Heavily forested and filled with song birds, rabbits and quail, the park offered magnificent views of the Long Island Sound and Atlantic Ocean from its high hills. The site selected for the new park was a large wooded area. Conceived by Frederick Law Olmsted, the wandering design of the park's main drive offers the pastoral quality evident in other New York City flagship parks planned by the renowned architect.
In contrast to its western part, the eastern park offers a serene setting as hiking trails and 7 miles of bridle paths traverse the area's northern forest, gully and pine grove. Horses which can be hired at two private stables provide a fun way to survey the environment. Those who prefer to travel by foot have their choice among three designated hiking trails. The .5-mile red trail, 1.5-mile yellow trail and 1.75-mile blue trail introduce park visitors to the natural wonders of the park. Those searching for a challenge greater than the traditional walk in the park can set out, compass and map in hand, during the park's biannual orienteering meets.
This is a small Lock and Lock box camoed in a black plastic bag. Box contains log, a pen and a few trinkets for trade. Because of nearby muggle activity on nice days, please return the natural camo as you found it. There is plenty to choose from so please take the time to cover it correctly.
FTF will get a really neat Geocoin as their reward.
