SYCAMORE – To kick off the Sycamore Park District’s 90th anniversary, park officials and volunteers are offering a geocache treasure hunt on Sunday, Jan. 20.

“We are introducing nine coordinates in order to celebrate our 90th anniversary, so we are going to put them in nine of our parks,” said Lisa White, recreation supervisor for the park district. “I think it’s a great idea to get people out into the parks. There are so many parks that people don’t know about.”

Geocaching is a free, worldwide, real-world treasure hunting game, according to geocaching.com, the official global GPS geocache hunt site. The site reports that there are almost 2 million active geocaches and more than 5 million geocachers worldwide. Dave Yanke of Sycamore is one of those geocachers.
