Geocaching in
Mendota Heights Parks
Geocaching is a high-tech treasure
hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped
with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called
geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching
is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of
community and support for the environment. There are 772,065 active
geocaches around the world. Enter your postal code at
www.geocaching.com and get started on finding geocaches
right here in Mendota Heights. We will be introducing Geocaching this
summer to children registered in our Summer Playgrounds program. We are
looking for volunteers to help out our summer program by hiding a
"cache" for us each week (we can provide the "treasure"). Please call
and give the coordinates to our Parks and Rec programmer Teresa
Gangelhoff. Or if you would like to hide your own treasure in one of our
parks or on our trails please call City Hall at 651-452-1850 for
permission and reference guidelines & rules found at
www.geocaching.com.
