Clues for Your Hike

1. Start on the sidewalk near the pavilion, with the pavilion and play area on your right. Walk toward the flagpoles.
2. Turn left at the flagpoles and then left again. When you reach the path, head straight, through a parking area, toward pavilion 2 with Nicholas Morrison baseball field on your right and a small shed on your left.
3. Halfway through the parking area, take the path to the left, with disc golf basket #16 on your left and #14 on your right.
4. At the next small parking area, carefully cross it to the path just past the pavilion and you will quickly pass disc golf basket #11 on your right.
5. As you walk you will pass a small playground on your right. Stay straight on the wide road/path with the swings on your right.
6. Just past the swings, turn right on the path and then stay left with the open field on your right.
7. Bear right at the next turn, keeping the baseball field on your right. The path goes around the open field.
8. When you reach the area near the flagpoles, make a U-turn/left to stay on the path with the fence on your left and soccer fields on your right.
9. Walk past disc golf basket #4 and follow the path around the fields. Just past the bleachers, the post will be on your right.
10. Continue on the path in the same direction and at the next Y, bear right toward the playground. Take the first left, up a small hill toward the pavilion and back to the parking area.
