I was getting petrol nearby and noticed this cache so I drove up here with my two boys but we couldn't find the cache. The boys played on spinny thing and the swings. Two young neighbours came over and asked if we were looking for the white box and said it was gone.
Makka pakka 2 went out to day to see what he could find and look what he found TFTC. Just out with the kids to day getting a cache or two
On the way to Nelson with hopes of another dot-day, beating PB, busting past 1400
Easy find but concious of eyes all around

I actually read the cache page and then once on sight using the glow of my GPSr screen I actually read most of the information board too.
Had been in town for son's soccer tournament and sent off for some food so took the time as you do to find some caches while out by myself too. The fact I didn't have either of my torches with me didn't stop me from hunting for this cache. Luckily both the coordinates and hint were spot on so it didn't take long to find the cache and sign the log before getting back in the car out of the cold.

It's really pleasing to log this cache as we had tried to get this much earlier in the year but suspect it had been muggled. TFTC and it was a good find today to add to our August streak.
Catscatscats22 and I decided to spend an extra day in Nelson & cycle around for a geocache grabbing tour of the area. Lucked out & had a beautiful day! Nice little park to take a break for lunch. TFTC! 
Quick find. I love these small reserves located throughout the city..views, history, sometimes both. Thanks from this Canadian!
Neat wee street, and an easy find between work and an appointment in town. Thanks Beltfamily.
What an interesting area; this is an ideal geocache - to highlight the history of which we'd otherwise be unaware.
TFTC. Left TB.

I have never even noticed this road before, so the fact there was a park here was a real surprise. Quick find and moved to one of the seats to sign, but felt very exposed, so decided to sit on the sleeper to get a little bit of cover. TFTC
Swung by to grab this one on the way home from work, never realised there were house and things up here. Read the sign and then sat for a while in he park.... Convinced there were many eyes watching.
A quick stop on the way home, darkness meant no muggle problem. Took TB, left TB. TFTC.
Nice little park. Yet another one I didnt know existed. I'm starting to think I dont know Nelson at all!!!. TFTC
We were unable to find this one and feel we had the correct location. Have muggles taken this away?
Pretty easy find. Wasn't covered. travel bug is missing. Suspect it's been muggled.
Tenth for the day.
I was across the road, and I was contemplating whether to go over or not, whether I wanted too, or was too tired, but ended up deciding for.
I got there, and the place was completely deserted. Tried to look for it where the hint said, but couldn't find it. Then, getting back up to get off the ground, I actually spotted it! Yay! And not too hard a find actually.
And I did read the sign on the way out
haha.
TFTC!!

Nice easy find, with an interesting bit of history as a bonus! Made sure I left the canister well-covered, as it was hardly covered at all when I found it. Suspect the covering just blows off?
Dropped off Palmanan Diabetes travel bug to continue its journey.
Thanks for the cache

#532, found during my kiwi traveling. Log in june, because I was without net. TFTC
The spot is a quiet refuge in a busy town, a longer walk from the centre, but worth it. TFTC
Couldnt do this one yesterday to many eyes around,but no one here today and was a quick find,(Didnt no this spot was here )Thanx4TC
Easy nighttime find. The cache appears to migrated from the right to the left of the sleeper though. TFTC
Found this afternoon after a short search. Interpreted the hint the wrong way around at first, nothing found. Reversed my direction and found very quickly. Signed log, TFTC
Depends which way you face for hint, havnt been to this park before TFTCWe couldn't find this one at first where it should have been but M found it sitting on the concrete wall in plain view, we returned it to the place it should have been we think TFTC
Quick easy find on a crisp winter's afternoon. Dropped off signel bell travel bug that had been stuck in a cache for over a year. SL TFTC
A quiet area to start the day once we got there, not where you'd expect to find a small reserve but interesting to read some details, as tourists do!
Nice bit of History, found the gas works bit interesting, my father was was a gas engineer.

Really nice location - good history on the information board. All quiet in the area so quickly found the cache. SL TFTC

During our 4 weeks holiday in the southern island of NZ we did not only find an exiting countryside and wildlife. The many caches brought us sometimes to places we didn´t expect or planned to go to.
Thank you very much for this. Greetings from Germany.

An interesting diversion. Well, actually 2 interesting diversions. Got a trifle sidetracked by the word fountain, so ended up 53 metres away, in the wrong street, but about then, the brain kicked in. TFTC. Left Mary the chicken who has been flitting aroung the world for almost 7 years.
Never been up this street before....took the advantage of a break in the weather to locate the cache. TFTC
Nice easy find. Was glad to be able to sit and watch smaller Hunters play on the playground while signing the log as I seemed to be being watched by a neighbour. TFTC
Nice to find a new spot on our way out on new years eve.
Plenty of muggles but not spotted we think.

What a neat wee park I never knew was their and a interisting notice board thats for sharing
Another quick find on our way out of Nelson.
Poor mum had to impatiently wait in the car .. must be a hard life as the only family member who's not interested in random box searching

Owner of the council shared fence (I know they paid half each) has taken ofFENCE to the cache being placed under it and has added extra wood and a small boulder to prevent the cache from fitting there again. May all his lures go without fish....
Anyway, I have moved the cache to a much less exciting place, and a lot easier to find - unfortunately.

Anyway, I have moved the cache to a much less exciting place, and a lot easier to find - unfortunately.New container, new log, new location, new hint. No new difficulty, although much easier now. Probably a 1.5
Popped up for a quick find after spending rather too much time in the garden today. TNLN TFTC
I have to shift the cache to another position as the current location seems to be compromised.
Hello Beltfamily, i went to this cache after reading the previous log. And i didn,t find the cache too. I looked and a didn,t feel anything. I hope a can finish this cache another time when i visit Nelson.
Lovely to find a place so close to home that I never knew existed. Despite the very specific clue I could not find it.
I will keep an eye on the logs and see if anyone can do better.

Disappointingly, the last cache searched for in Nelson was a DNF. The hint was quite specific, but we couldn't see or feel anything cache-like.
Great spot though, so not a wasted journey.

Sorry to log soo late...
We found the cache sitting on the wall out in the open.
Contents variously scattered around the park
Could not discern where it was originally hidden
