Numbers for scoring and also for measure
Proper conversions could lead to the treasure
It’s less than a yard, for those keeping pace
From the path, 8 east, 8 north to the place
Explanation:
Refers to the number conversion table on the playground within the park. It also defines a “pace” which is estimated at about 30 inches which is less than a yard. When pacing the final location, you go eight paces off the path to the east to a bush and then go eight paces north to the treasure location.

The approach to take is for the clever
Minus One! Are you up for this endeavor?
About 120 paces from the place you start
Wend to the south and follow your heart
Explanation:
The key words here are “clever” and “Minus One Are” which gives you the word Cleve. Cleve Avenue is platted heading into the park off Cleadis and Clomon Avenue and actually shows up on some maps of the area. If you step off 123 paces along the paved path from Cleadis and Clomon, you come to the area where the treasure is located.
