Geocaching 101

Did you know you can hunt for treasure right in your neighborhood? Join us in the Alexander Blue House 6-7 p.m. on Thursday, July 18, to learn the art of using GPS devices and your phone to explore hidden locations! You'll be set for adventure when you discover the thrill of Geocaching! Advance registration is required. The cost is $10 per resident and $12 per non-resident.

Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor adventure that is happening all the time, all around the world. To play, participants use the Geocaching app and/or a GPS device to navigate to cleverly hidden containers called geocaches.

#RecreatingTheRec

Construction on the Livonia Senior Wellness Center began yesterday with exterior site work, relocating the East FitHub (Strength Hub) to the MAC Gym in September 2024 and closing the Main Gyms in July 2025 once the new West Gym is complete. The full project is expected to be completed in December 2025.

Stay up to date on construction at the Kirksey Recreation Center and Livonia Senior Wellness Center at LivoniaBuilt.org. You've already subscribed to this e-newsletter, so make sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram and bookmark the website for all the latest details.
