Lexington KY Park Policy

[+Paddy Yenar]

The folowing is the policy for hiding caches in Lexington and Fayette County parks.

 

Policy for hiding geocaches in L.F.U.C.G. Parks:

 

1) Groups/individuals must stay on trails at Raven Run and McConnell Springs where hiking off trail can cause ecological damage.

2) Groups/individuals must obey operating hours and park rules and must park in designated parking areas only.

3) The owner of the cache should provide an email of request to Kate Krebs, Recreation Supervisor/Naturalist.

4.) Current cache owners who already have caches in Lexington parks should send an email of request to Kate Krebs.

5.) Kate will respond to the request and will issue an approval number. Once this has been received the cache owner may seek approval from geocaching.com.

6.) Park staff will remove all caches hidden without approval.

 

Requesting approval:

 

Send an email to kkrebs@lfucg.com with the following information in the BODY OF THE EMAIL:

 

1. Name, address and phone number of the owner.

2. Include the name the cache will have on Geocaching.com.

3. Coordinates of the cache location and the coordinates any steps to get to the cache if applicable (for multi caches).

4. Name of the park where cache is to be hidden.

5. Include a description of the cache container (Tupperware, ammo box, and film canister).

6. If you include a parking suggestion include this in the request.

7. Include if the cache is existing (hidden prior to May 1, 2003 only) or new cache.

8. Include 1-2 sentences describing where the cache is hidden.

 

Do not include pictures, diagrams, figures etc.

 

Requests that are submitted incomplete will be returned. Once approval has been granted, you will be given an approval number. Include this number at the bottom of you cache description when you post the cache for approval from geocaching.com.

 

Moving Caches:

 

If a cache or any part of a cache needs to be moved due to environmental impact, non-geocachers finding it, etc. please resubmit the new coordinates and a new description of where the cache has been re-hidden.
