Garey Park is Georgetown’s flagship park located along the South San Gabriel River. The 525-acre ranch was donated by Jack and Cammy Garey, owners of the highly successful racehorse Heritage Of Gold, who had 16 wins totaling a career earning of almost $2.4 million dollars. One of the park’s pavilions is named for the family’s beloved horse, and now so is this letterbox.
