As this cache has been out of action for too long and the non-active cache owner has not performed any maintenance, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to un-archive it.

No luck here. The clue was a bit misleading as we couldn't decide which 'gap' we needed so we searched all possible optons.
 
28-Oct-13
three of us had a good hunt but alias no luck
 
24-Oct-13
No such luck for us today even with the specific hint. Has it gone missing?
Cheers Gav
 
23-Oct-13
Had a good look where hint indicated
 
17-Sep-13
I found the right spot my gps was bang on... Using the hint I looked and searched in the flax but could not find cache. Not too sure if this has been muffled but I did spend over half N hour in GZ with no luck... Gave up on it in the end but found three more caches on way home so wasn't too bad.
 
16-Sep-13
Found exact spot.. Blackberries spiked me a few times but no luck. Found a few pens around so knew I was at the right spot.. Mugged maybe?
 
03-Aug-13

A nice wee suburban park. Managed to find this one quite quickly with the hint. Without it, I would probably still be there searching. So much flax. TFTC.
 
09-Feb-13
Nice looking park, which looks like its only used by the neighbours by the looks of things. Nice little stroll to GZ, and found the cache with out any troubles. TFTC.

After completing the caches in Waiatarua Reserve, we thought we would add to our tally by attempting this one.
Mum and the boys headed off for this one. Mum read the hints (and knew exactly where the cache would be) and 8YO discovered it.
We were excited to find a TB in the cache, and have claimed it to continue its mission.

What a great park! Thanks for letting is know it's here! Quick find and a nice stretch of the legs. TFTC!! Left USB TB Smile
 
16-Jan-13
Found on the way home from work on a cloudy Wednesday afternoon. Another place I never would have found without geocaching. TFTC.
 
16-Jan-13
An easy spot found pretty quickly after searching a few candidate spots. A little bit of a balancing stretch to reach at the cache but nothing too difficult. Thanks!
 
06-Jan-13
Spotted cache quite quickly but with my fear of spiders sent the ger part of us to climb in a get it!!! Think this will be our last find for the day as it's getting very hot! TFTC

Had a little time to kill and our daughter wanted to find another cache! Quiet little park, another one we had no idea about! Was a bit muddy after all the rain, just a little note, don't wear jandals (flip flops) if its been raining! Wink After finding the cache, found out entrance off Kenneth Small Place would have been a little quicker, but still found it easily enough. Thanks for a good quick find! Wink

Quick find in a nice reserve. Took TB. TFTC
 
07-Oct-12
Poor old snakelion was doing this one with me even though he'd already been here before and unfortunately he was the one that the raging dog in the park decided to "play" with. Luckily no damage was done and we could hunt for the cache in peace after. Quickly found after applying the hint and headed off for one more for the day. Cool little park - TFTC
 
07-Oct-12
Passing by with evilno9 and a dog decided to "play" with me lucky without causing too much of a problem.
 
03-Oct-12
Nice wee park tucked away out of sight. Good clues made for a quick find. TFTC
 
27-Aug-12
Surprising little suburban park tucked away behind houses - found an entrance easily enough but discovered later there was a closer option. Ground muddy under foot and found it hard to be stealthy with all the neighboring houses. Found cache easily enough, maybe some camouflage might be in order ?
Left a trackable.

Thanks for bringing us to this reserve. Cache REALLY well hidden; we almost gave up but then found it! SL. TFTC
 
27-Oct-11
Nice quick find in my lunchbreak. Cool little reserve hidden away between housing. Ive attempted this cache before about 3 months ago but had to retreat as ground was way too wet underfoot. Grass is now quite firm which made easy access to GZ. TFTC - TNLNSL. Big GrinBig Grin
 
23-Oct-11
2nd attempt, found it this time. Horse out, rose in. wet on one side not so bad on the other.
 
18-Oct-11
Water Water everywhere, and a squisshy path across, Eventually worked out ewhat I was after, just about gave out as shoes were now wet but got there in the end, TFTC
 
09-Oct-11
Nice easy find with the hint, left a pen as none in the cache, tftc Smile
 
26-Sep-11
Rather quick find early this afternoon. I do believe that I accessed the park form an unintended entrance. No problems here althought the ground on approach was a little squelchy underfoot. Took the TB, TFTC.
 
18-Sep-11
Wenet here to test my new gps. Wet as and had to look in my favourite plant NOT! Gave up after getting wet and grubby from these plants. May come back klater in better weather.

Cheers..
 
08-Sep-11
Out for a long walk this morning checking on my caches in the area so I cut through here to get to Marua Rd. Found this one with FF#1 over a year ago. Back today with FF#2 today so signed the log for him too (managed to remember where it was!). Dropped a TB. Cheers.
 
04-Sep-11
Wow, finding this park really was a mission! I somehow missed the first entrance, and then thought the second was the entrance to a house. So I was about to leave, when I found the first entrance.

Went in, and got confused as to whether I was meant to swim in the bog or not. Read the hint, and then found out I must have had came in around the wrong way!

So with a slight adjustment of position, managed to get this one right!
And the cache was quickly spotted!

A neighbour going to collect her mail gave me a weird look as I was leaving... but maybe she was confused as to how I found the reserve as I don't live there??

TFTC!! Smile
 
28-Aug-11
Easy find today - not muddy. TFTC
 
30-Jul-11
very muddy indeed. I recommend approaching from Kenneth Small as less mud to traverse! Didn't sign log as forgot to take pen, rescued Christchurch quake geocoin to move it along. TFTC
 
02-Jul-11
If there is more than one way we always try them all. Means we get to thouroughly explore the park and this was a lovely, surprising little secret one. Left Christchurch Earthquake geocoin to start it's journey. GINO TFTC
 
18-Jun-11
Couldn't find as to muddy to get there
 
14-May-11
A nice simple cache. A nice secret park. Watch out! Rather muddy. Cheers

26-Sep-10
They should cut the grass here but then I suppose if they did try they would get the mower stuck. The ground was waterlogged and the grass wet. Met a muggle who was interested in the GPS.

Cheers for the cache.
 
21-Sep-10
[Nice cache, had a footing mishap and slid down the bank but its all part of the fun! Cache had slid down behind] the bush so I replaced it back in the middle. [TFTC.]

31-Aug-10
That park is more swamp than field!
 
24-Jul-10
a quick find, after wading through the soggy park, to conclude a little geocaching interlude to fill in an hour.
 
15-Jul-10
Went up the road to get some awesome American food from the shoparound the corner, MMM Real Root Beer! Then stopped back here on my way past, felt way too exposed in this small park, lots of houses, decided to take travel bugs incase some one come inspecting. Caching spree #10
 
13-Jul-10
Took a couple of attempts to get the right approach to this one TFTC

A bit of afternoon spare time during work visit to Auckland. Rather wet underfoot at the moment on the approach I took but despite trepidation at approaching the features at GZ, the cache was spotted quickly. TFTC, Biggles.
 
23-May-10
Took the long way in, and the short way out. Always nice to explore Wink. Good clue! T4TC - M@
 
23-May-10
Out and about on a fine Sunday morning. Located the most appropriate access to this reserve and by reading an earlier log alerted me not to FTA (follow the arrow!!). There are LOTS of flax here but the cache was quickly spotted and log signed, Smile Lovely little park. TFTC
