Plenty of Pokemon can be found at the Cookeville Depot Museum!
Play Pokémon Go with us!
we’ve always known that Cookeville’s parks, museums and recreation facilities hold lots of community treasures, but recently, we’ve also been surprised to discover that they are hubs for Pokémon activity too!
As more and more folks make their way around town playing Pokémon Go, looking to “catch ‘em all,” we are seeing increased usage in our parks and facilities. So, here are a few things to keep in mind that should help you in your Pokémon adventures:
Take a walk in the park: Some Pokémon eggs require you to walk quite a distance to hatch them. Consider a walk around the lake at Cane Creek Park, which is approximately 3km; a short hike to the falls at City Lake Natural Area or around the trail at Ensor Sink natural Area, both of which are approximately 1 km or a stroll through the well-shaded trail in Walnut Park.
Go inside: Many historical sites and parks are Pokéstops and Gyms. Our Depot Museum, for example, has seen lots of future Pokémon Masters working their way through the site. Don’t just walk around the grounds and be on your way. Come inside! We have friendly staff, interesting exhibits and activities and sometimes even free snacks! We would love to meet you and you may even learn something new about our city!
Check out a neighborhood park: We know that Dogwood and Cane Creek Parks are popular spots, but if you’re hunting Pokémon, why not check out one of our smaller parks while you’re out? You never know what types of Pokémon could be hanging out there. Check Cinderella (700 Cinderella Lane), West End (609 West End Street), Franklin Avenue (Franklin and 6th Street), Park View (570 Scott Ave) and Capshaw (near Capshaw Elementary School) Parks.
Be a good neighbor: Keep in mind that many public parks and facilities are adjacent to private property. Please be courteous to local property owners and fellow park goers.
Enjoy the City: Parks are also a great place to relax, meet up with friends and enjoy your surroundings. Sit on a park bench or lay down a blanket for a picnic and let the Pokémon come to you!
