Flick Park is one of Glenview’s public parks with 39 acres. Soccer and baseball fields, a walking trail, large playground for children, sledding hill, and outdoor updated pools are some of the pluses of a visit to this park. This letterbox adventure is an easy one and can be enjoyed by young and old. It is also wheelchair accessible. The park is located on Glenview Road between Greenwood Road and Milwaukee Avenue.

You’ll find the park on the north side of Glenview Road. Enter the park and leave your car in the first parking area. You’ll find yourself near a wonderful playground area with swings, slides, and climbing apparatus. Enjoy a few minutes of fun with the children then wander over to the picnic shelter. On the north side of the shelter take the sidewalk that goes to the west side of the pond. It curves a bit and there’s some goose poop, so watch your steps. Keep your eyes open in good weather for frogs. They love the pond. Listen for them also. That may be all the evidence you have that they are there.

Cross the bridge over the ponds and continue on the path passing a couple of brown benches. You might want to sit and rest a while. If it’s summer you’ll see lots of folks enjoying the water. The path comes to a second parking area. Cross at the crosswalk with the yellow stripes. At the back of the sledding hill, take a right turn, pass another brown bench, and then go across the drive to the east side of the road. Walk to the south end of this parking lot. Count back 12 spaces. Keep your eyes open for a moldy green fence at the eastern edge of the park property. When you find that, you’ve almost found what you’re looking for. Look carefully for two behind one. Carefully lift the two and you’ll find the LB.

Be discreet as you log this one. There are many people enjoying the sights. Carefully replace the two behind the one.
