2014 JAXPARKS GeoChallenge:
The City of Jacksonville has teamed up with The Friends of Jax Parks to bring you the third annual The JaxParks GeoChallenge. This year, the Friends of Jax Parks have hidden 30 new caches that will let you explore a diverse selection of parks around Jacksonville.
Geocaching is an outdoor adventure game similar to a treasure hunt played with a GPS device. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, take a trinket from the cache, leave something of greater or equal value in return for the next person and then share your experiences online. There are over two million active geocaches around the world and now with the JAXPARKS GeoChallenge you can explore Jacksonville's parks.
