| As of November 2008, there are
four geocaches in PV Park.
Geocachers usually record finding a geocache on the global geocache
web site at http://www.geocaching.com/
and often will leave comments about the geocache or the location.
Comments made by geocachers about Pleasant Valley Park are listed
on the Park
Visitors Comments page.
"What a wonderful November day for a walk. Saw two deer two
times in four different places. Nice hide in a great park."
November 6, 2008
"Followed a nice 6 point buck most of the way from the parking
lot to the trail head. Seems we were both out for a great November
morning. He never looked back and I saw him again near the cache.
Good hide, love this park." November 6, 2008
"We love the wildness of this park. I hope they keep it this
way. I see bow hunting is in season, so wear your orange."

"Kaiwalker is always happy to go caching - whether we find
it or not!
Beautiful day in a beautiful park." November 2, 2008
"Very nice hike, love the park. This is what a hiking park
should be. Saw a herd of deer while looking for the cache."

"Happened to be driving by the park, knew I had coords for
a cache in the GPS and had a little time...we pulled in and took
a walk. First time at this park, enjoyed it!" July 12, 2008
"First of two in the PV Park with two Rovers along with a
friend - Greg. Follow the advice and follow the trail...the shortest
distance between two points is likely to turn a pleasant hike into
a daunting adventure!" April 27, 2008
"Your pleasant valley was not very green today, it was rather
white. A minute after we left our truck it started to snow. It only
took us a half hour round trip and by the time we came back our
tracks were gone." January 17, 2008
"Wonderful park! I would say it is just about perfect as
it is!" January 12, 2008
"Nice park. Hope it sticks around." January 12, 2008
"I really like the trails in this park. Nice walk, my first
find of the day." December 30, 2007
"After a slight detour, we managed to find this beautiful
park. It never ceases to amaze me the tracts of "wilderness"
we have so close to Pittsburgh. It's great that there are still
places in the suburbs that you can go out into the woods and feel
(and even be) completely alone." December 25, 2007
"Nice park, we are regular visitors to the area from the UK
and have never stopped here. November 10, 2007
"We the Lowlandfamily from The Netherlands are visiting family
in Greensburg, Pennsylvania and doing some geocaching along the
way. Nice park with 2 caches." November 9, 2007
"Nice brisk fall day for a cache. Had never heard of Pleasant
Valley Park before this cache listing. Took the path to the cache
& got a good workout winding back & forth around & around!
" November 4, 2007
"Thanks for bringing me to this nice undeveloped park!!!I
like that it is just biking, hiking, hunting. The trails are awesome.
I wish I would have brought my bike to explore more of the trails.
I think I will be back with the bike." August 1, 2007
"This is a very nice greenspace. We've been here once before.
It nice how all the trails loop around the meadow. The meadow was
full of many wild flowers - a nice hike!" July 7, 2007
"A nice comfortable morning and hike, on the way back it started
to get a bit-buggy but no big-deal. I really like the trails in
this park, even though they are new they are well marked and cleared
with some nice bridges, great old trees, etc. North Huntingdon has
jaggers, Murrysville has hills, I guess that it all works out."
June 11, 2007
"Had a great day. Took the road trail in, and the marked trail
out. The trail through the woods is very nice. Have been here before
on caches and horseback riding. Great parking for a trailer. This
was my first time on this trail. We were able to spot the darter
minnows. June 4, 2007
"I got together w/ Toronado today for a cache hunt. I wanted
to check out this newer Murrysville park. We enjoyed our hike and
did see some wildlife & heard many birds. We found the cache
fine, then went onwards on other trails. We kinda got confused,
even with the map, but Toronado got us turned around to the right
direction. We walked along the creek & saw many fish (darters?),
finally came out on a trail which wound thru the woods & back
to the old farm road. I enjoyed the several hemlock groves we passed.
At the pond, we saw 2 snakes,which Toronado took pics of, &
tons of tadpoles. Along the farm road, we saw deer & turkey
tracks. This is a nice park, particularly in the woods, & very
peaceful." June 4, 2007
"Nice easy sailing. The waters revealed frogs, tadpoles, and
snakes. Dr. Maturin would have been in heaven with all the natrualistic
things." May 4, 2007
"Nice afternoon for a walk, knees held up quite well. I would
say that after a good rain the farm roadways would become quite
slippery and that care should be used at such times. It has been
many years since I hunted this farm but there is still a lot of
game sign everywhere. On the way in at the split of the roadways
I flushed a large hen turkey when I got withen ~5yds, I certainly
wasn't expecting that." May 4, 2007
