Hidden away, far from prying eyes
A treasure awaits in unknown disguise

So set your eyes on a public park first
No digging is needed, so please don’t disturb.

Be the first to discover
And the prize is all yours,
Now go out and seek
There’s much to explore!

Search high and low, out of plain view
Who will be bold and rightly pursue?
Can you gauge things correctly? Where the prize lay
Walk or run to find your way
Explanation:
"view" to divert to Valley View, Maple View, or Creek View Parks
"bold" - first reference to a Lion - Bold as a Lion
"gauge" and "lay" are railroad terms to denote near the train tracks
"Walk or run" baseball terms and trail in park that stretches into lesser known area park

Birch, Oak, Norway, Ilex
Olive, Maple, Cedar, Larch,
Only the real ones will be of help
To find what you search.
Explanation:
These 8 tree names provided a cipher: using only the trees that were real street names in Andover - Larch, Ilex, Olive, and Norway, the first letter of each spells "LION". All street names are listed on the city parks map.

By now you may be losing steam
On the home stretch, take one for the team

If you cut it down,
then you’ll never know

Near forest and prairie
Mind the path, do not tarry
Explanation:
"steam" another reference to the railroad tracks
"on the home stretch" another reference to the baseball field
"if you cut it down then you'll never know" - lyric from "colors of the wind" from Pocahontas" - preceding line talks about the sycamore tree - Lions park is on Sycamore Street
"near forest and prairie" - diverts to Prairie Knoll park but also there is a prairie and forest along the trail and it connects with Bunker Hills Park with lots of both
"mind the path" - refers to both the paved trail and then the dirt path in the woods the medallion was hidden on

Time to uncover the prize at last
Past the caution marker, travel fast
Lions Park is the place
A worn path ends the race
Twenty paces in
Tucked in near a tree
Bring to Premier Banks
To receive your proceeds!
Explanation:
Lays out exact location - in Lions Park, down the trail, just past the yellow caution marker there is a worn dirt path.
About 20 paces in there is a large tree - the medallion was tucked under some branches and leaves near the base of the tree
