Gosh didn't realise there had been so many DNF's on this one. We too took a long, long search with no joy as well. Would be good to have the owner confirm if its there or not.... Last of the day, ah well only DNF for the day, just a blow when its the last one.....
Echoing the cachers below...Didn't find this one and we searched within 10m of GZ.
Nah, can the owner please check, can they put a hint in there as well , it's not good to have a difficult to find cache next to kiddies playpark.
Better to have a fair idea where it is so you can get in, find, get out without getting involved with a mammoth search while being watched from next door as well -;)
Thanks.

Had the park to myself so able to have a good search, no joy even after a sanity check for which piece of equipment.
Even with the Junior Pastamakers for cover we felt way too conspicious poking around the playground. Other junior muggles were in attendance so we couldn't search all of the aparatus so nothing for us here today.
Thank goodness for Zorks log 
Thank goodness no kids around today. 100% exposed location and not comfortable with these hides. TFTC

Not a kid in sight, but we had our back up kid just in case, one would assume if one is not comfortable with this kind of find then one would choose not to find it, otherwise why would one find the need to mention this?
Well done on the hide, if they were all bush walk big container trad's then how boring would this hobby get?
Variety is the spice of life, bring on the bus stop nano's and the 100% in the open caches, this is to give us practice at being innovatively stealthy, at the end of the day if Mr Copper were to ask why one is lurking in a playground you have a pretty good excuse to show him.....
Nuff said.

Playground was isolated today, which was lucky as it made the searching much less awkward!! A good hide, but perhaps a clue would help avoid awkward encounters in the future? TFTC
Dammit mugged! Ones even weirder than us too... Doing some strange yoga/pilates thing on the grass and park bench..
Did this one on Monday lunchtime. No one about. Checked all the usual spots and had to PAF.
Seemed I had to step up my caching skills but got into the swing of things.
A clue from the owner may making the find easier as I was uncomfortable in the centre of the playground.

I didnt stay for long. Its not a good look for an old boy like me to hang around a playground on a Sunday. Cords were in the middle of the playground and, without an idea of were to look.......I left.
Went with Gyro27 and Rosmar to look for this one, the GPS had us in the middle of a playground. We had a good look around and found the cache after a while. Agree with FMZ and Rosmar - not a good look adult males on a playground. SL
It was no surprise to see FMZ when I arrived, but to my delight he was still searching! A joint effort for a joint FTF. Thats number 1 FTF for us !!
Had been searching the likely spots for about 10 minutes when geomatt arrived and joined in. Felt very conspicuous searching in a childrens' playground. Not a good look for an adult male or two with no kids. Got some strange looks from neighbours. Eventually got it, after being misled by the spoiler image. Luckily no kids around for us, impossible otherwise. Strongly suggest adding a descriptive hint to avoid anyone getting into trouble, or better yet move it away from the actual playground. Joint FTF with geomatt. TFTC
After leaving the party at the nearby 'Turtle One' cache, decided to look for this one pubished earlier today. Was accompanied by Kia Gotti & Gyro27 so made it a little more comfortable looking for this cache. After a good look around we used our geocaching instincts and bingo the cache was found. Agree with FMZ that this cache maybe better repositioned away from the playground.
