Geocaching

One way to get out and get moving in Montgomery is to take advantage of the adventure that geocaching has to offer with many hidden “caches” right here in our City Parks.   All you need to get started on this treasure hunt and have fun with the whole family is a GPS unit and access to the maps.

There are caches in Weller Park, Pfeiffer Park, Pioneer Park, Johnson Nature Preserve and throughout Montgomery.

Getting Started with Geocaching

Geocaching (pronounced geo-cashing) is a worldwide game of hiding and seeking treasure. A geocacher can place a geocache in the world, pinpoint its location using GPS technology and then share the geocache's existence and location online. Anyone with a GPS device can then try to locate the geocache.
