Just had a look and the cache isn't there. Will decide whether to move or replace soon.
Fantastic!!! The kids loved this one....we love this place and never knew it was here
Took Miss Orsome4some about 30 seconds to find this while the rest of us pretended to be needing a rest!

What a cool wee park. This is the reason I love geocaching. I have lived only a few hundred meters from this and the park, and yet never took the time or noticed that this little garden was here, thanks for a little but of education and finding something new just down the road.
Definitely a high muggle area, but that makes it more fun! Left a trinket too. Thanks! K & D
I found it but would no longer stick to underside as it was. Needs some blue tack or something. I put it back as close as possible. Yay 1st cache find for me and kids.
Easy find went on my new bike had to put back since we had to get a new pen from the car.
Easy find. Couldn't sign log as no pencil with me or in cache. Interesting local historical tidbit!
Managed to locate & sign log while avoiding muggles passing by. Left blue frog. TFTC
Quick park and grab with kjwx during a caching mission through the Hutt Valley. TFTC
Hard to abandon our play at the park because of heavy showers but it made it easy to get the cache without attracting any muggles. TFTC
Not sure what previous finder means. Checked today and it's all still there, log book and all so it's all go.
A nice location but unfortunately the weather didn't allow me to enjoy it for long. An easy find in an obvious place. TFTC
Find #442 - Our antepenultimate find of a total of 24 finds by geobike today - the last time we visited this cache, we were first upon the scene of cache maggotry - today the cache was intact (and in the first place we looked 
), and we signed the log carefully, but there were very few muggles around to disrupt this process. A most enjoyable find in the overcast afternoon, nearing the end of our journey. SL TFTC.

Quick find. Would be good if you added in the description that you need to bring your own pen/pencil. TNLN. Didn't sign log. No pen/pencil!
The last find on a non-caching trip to the area. Found late at night after a trip to Palmy North that day. Would liked to have seen it in the day as I have visited this park a lot in my youth but never this part. A great hide for the cache - whoever made it must have had caching in mind! TFTC.
Nice park with lots going on but no problems for a quick find with Bkj97. T4TCSL
Tftc. Found with the help of my friend. Very easy find when there's not many people arround
Very popular park, but they were all over by childrens' playground when we visited. Nicely hidden.

Visited here with my children. They enjoyed the bike park. I hadn't been over this side of the park before, thank you!
Nice quick park & cache. Park didnt have much foot traffic. Sebby was visited by another dog from down the road.

back upo and running. make sure smaller container is put back right in corner on side
Unfortunately some yobbos have obviously decided that geocaching isn't their game. I fixed it on Monday morning and then by the afternoon it had been muggled again (I did take the logs out luckily) so I will temporarily disable this for a number of months, then replace it with a micro. i suspect it's taggers and they wanted to mark their territory (a bit like a cat really). anyway don't go there because there isn't anything to get. the last 2 maintenance reports can log it as they obviously went to the spot.
Thanks Cadhakla for letting me log this cache, it was a shame that I couldn't log it in person, but will still try and get there when I see it's back up and running. If you put it in a new place it makes my treasure hunt all the more enjoyable. TFTC
Found the cache but it needs to be fixed, it was scattered all over the ground, picked up what i could find and replaced in the most likely of places, log book gone ... desperately needs maintenance, will have to go back sometime later and sign log
Yup. As per crashraccats' log... this is in serious need of maintainance. Suggest you disable the cache now. Found the container on the ground in the open. Only thing in it was a magnet, we scoured the area and found pieces of the log (including the front page). Assuming crashraccat rehid it under the plaque, it has been moved since yesterday. So even if you do replace it, it's got a good chance of being found again. Suggest moving it to the seat and making it smaller... sorry to see it in this state. 
Last visit here and we were thwarted by the muggles making out on nearby park bench. Today it was a clear run into GZ and a straight forward find.
Cache all in order, SL and rehidden safely, as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too!
The Turtle strikes again!

Cache back up and running. Please remember to watch out for muggles watching you when retrieving or replacing cache. Will contact geocoin owners and let them know they probably gone missing. Please no trackables at this time until a few months time to see if cache muggled again.
Hi, found the cache in several pieces, luckily container was all there and I've restored it to it's original location. Missing logbook and anything else that was inside. Found the geocache rules though! Sorry for the bad news.
Cheers!
Cheers!
Thanks for that Ciaocibai. Feel free to log it. Will go and check it out and get it up and running again asap, since it seems to be a nice cache for new cachers. Only the Ski Pass TB seems to have gone. I will have a quick hunt before contacting owner. You never know. Lucky other GC was taken out. Once up and running might try and avoid TB's incase it turns out to be muggle central. Will let you all know.

My first geocache find, I'd say my girlfriend and I are hooked now! I used to have lunch in this area and I never knew this was here. Nice hiding spot.
I gave the pencil a sharpen, signed the logbook and returned the cache as it was.

First solo find. Heard about geocaching a couple years back but was only recently that got into it (and hooked!)
Nice easy cache before work on a crisp morning
TFTC!

TFTC!You were spotted by Mrs Cadhakla on her way home from dropping off the kidhakla's at school. You've gotta watch out for these dodgy people!?
Finally resolved the issue of the Humboldt GC. Took a closer look at the Comenious GC I had picked up and finally located the tracking number in faint print in a not so obvious place and it is in fact the Humboldt coin as described on its wrapper PHEW!
A great hide for your first cache, simple yet very effective. Very enjoyable and always good to enjoy a seat to write up the log too. Thanks
A very early morning start for a walk to the park. Still dark, and much colder than yesterday, but the wind has gone! T4TC - M@
Happened to have a look today and didn't find any coins at all in the cache. Will hunt around the base, you never know.

There is an issue with the Humbolt coin, when I got home I discovered that I had a totally different coin (Comelius) in the Humboldt wrapper and the depositor of the Humbolt one can't shed any light on it! So if you visit this cache could you please check on whether any coins are still there and let me know, I will check with huntemdown who visited after me.
Made good on my promise to put something back in when I had to remove a non-trackable to make room for a TB on finding this cache. In some rugby cards.
Also out GCs and TBs to get them to caches which will hopefully assist them in their various missions. The exception is the space gate coin which did not appear to be in the cache, was hoping to at least discover this as I am keen on space matters, going back to the very first Sputnik - yes I am that ancient lol. So hope it is awaiting logging and turns up somewhere else.

A quick find on this grey, damp and overcast morning while on the way home from night shift.
Parked up near the cache for about 10 minutes, waiting as two student muggles debated the important issues of their day. Once they finally pushed off, it didn't take too long before I had the cache in hand.
If asked to score the container size and hide quality, both would easily get more than the requisite 120 points. Thanks for the Lower Hutt history lesson and for bringing me to this previously foreign locale.
