901 Operations Building Clue
Difficulty: Easy
Time: 5 minutes

The Planning and Operations facility is located at 901 N. Broadway. This building is home base for the facility and grounds staff that keep all Urbana parks and facilities in tiptop shape. These staff provide many of the behind-the-scenes services that make Urbana Parks so great: trimming trees, planting flowers, repairing and maintaining facilities, mowing grass, and plowing roads and sidewalks. From the parking lot off Broadway Ave, seek the “Fat Boy” rock and memorial tree to the north. Once here, put your back to Broadway, and take twelve steps towards the tree line. You will find what you seek hidden inside a hollow tree trunk.
