    Clues for Your Hike

    1. Park in the main parking area off of Lawn Road and Lyndel Drive. 
    2. With your back to the playground, find the path that starts on your left just past the gravel parking area. 
    3. Follow the path along the gravel parking area and turn left at the first intersection you come to. 
    4. Keep following the path around the soccer fields, continuing straight ahead past the next intersection you find (you will pass the pavilion and playground on your left). 
    5. The post will be on one of the last trees on your left before you come to a bend in the path. 
    6. To return to your vehicle, continue along in the direction you were going before finding the post, passing a bridge on your right, walking around more soccer fields, and following the path as it leads back to the parking area.
