Clue #1
Published on Saturday, May 11, 2013
Once again the time has come,
Let the hunters hunt, and have their fun.
Don't tear up the park or private property.
Answer the clues correctly you'll receive prosperity not poverty.

Red herrings love to distort, figure them out don't be sold short,
Obey the rules of the game and don't be a poor sport.
May is the month of flowers, but can still bring rain,
Play in it if you must, but taking shelter might bring some gain.
Explanation:
The first letter in each line spells OLDA and ROMP, OLDA stands for Off Leash Dog Area, there is one in the park. ROMP stands for Responsible Owners of Mannerly Pets, they support the park with maintenance and contributions. There is a abundance of sports in the park. "Shelter" is a vague reference to a cottage, Cottage St. runs into the park.

If you remember to have fun, it wont matter who lost and who won,
But give it your all, and swing hard to hit the home run.
I'll be frank the treasure is naked, to some this may be taboo,
Dig and search for a machine then you wont be so blue.
Explanation:
"Home run" is a reference to baseball, also the hiding spot would be considered in home run territory. "The treasure is naked" refers to what it's hidden in, a Naked brand juice bottle. More specifically a "Blue Machine" flavor hence the 4th line. The word "dig" tells you it's on the ground and you will have to dig for it.

It's very clear, some clues can cause frustration,
But do not fear, this park has plenty of recreation.
Use your brain, think link and chain.
Find one germane, to a european lane.
Explanation:
The park has plenty of recreation: baseball, soccer, basketball, tennis, off leash dog area. "Link and chain" refers to all the chain link fences in the park, also refers to the off leash dog area. The "european lane" is DeSoto St. DeSoto is only 28 feet wide witch would give it the air of a european lane. European streets are very narrow.

Simple and plain, some downpours need help to drain.
If the body of water floods, it will destroy the terrain.
If your dazed and confused, you can help restore the balance,
Just connect a ring with the bird of fire's talon.
Explanation:

To wear the crown, you must put your racket down.
Forget the sports, retreat to land that's wooded.

Do like Kris Kringle, but don't get sooted.

Clue #11
Oh where, oh where could the treasure be?
Look for a place where your dog can run free.
Hiding it with the dogs would be rather heartless,
If your searching for treasure you should stay barkless.

A medallionless park should attract your appeal,
So should Poison Ivy, and the Man of Steele.
Using two streets to make a parks name may shed some light,
But if you can see the ark, I would say your right.
Explanation:
The place where your dog can run free is the Off Leash Dog Area in the park. The 3rd and 4th line tell you it's not in the Off Leash Dog Area. The word "barkless" has a double meaning, it refers to outside of the dog area, it also refers the the barkless tree that is very close to the hiding spot of the treasure, the tree is also the marker. Arlington Arkwright Park has never had the Pioneer Press medallion hidden in it. Poison Ivy refers to Ivy street, Man of Steele refers to Clark street that borders the south end of the park, also if Clark street and Ivy street were to go through the park, the spot where they intersect is somewhat close to the area of the treasure.Two streets that make the parks name is Arlington and Arkwright streets. The last line also refers to Arkwright Street.

Clue #12
You fell for my trap, looks like I'll have to draw you a map!
Arlington Arkwright Park is where you should be at.
Start at the south end of the soccer field,
Look to the woods, then the trail is revealed.

Hit the trail hard, climbing to the top is key,
The treasure lie's near, about 10 paces from the barkless tree.
Right next to the rotted log is the end of your venture,
Then you have found, Coldest's Lost Treasure!
Explanation:
X marks the spot.
