As there has been no response by the cache owner to the previous note, I am forced to archive this listing.

This park was rebuilt and cache is no longer there.

sorry guys cache has been disable due to needing repair work. will get onto it asap and post note when back up and running.
HADO KARP

SKADs did it again!

Park is now back in action.

We will need to go down and ensure the cache is still healthy and possibly adjust the co-ordinates.

According to Happy Pants it still can be located.

Thanks for the heads up Happy Pants.

Found with Happy Feet and Happy Pants on a hot Christmas Day...

Whilst some took the opportunity sleep off their Christmas Lunch, Happy Feet, Happy Pants and myself decided to head out and clean up some of the 'local caches' on a hot 34° day... A beautiful day had by all, topped of by some good walks, great company and many laughs...

A short stroll, a short search, found the cache, stamped and returned...

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for my enjoyment HADO KARP...

Staying with family for Christmas, so a great opportunity to grab a cache or 2. While everyone was snoozing after a big Christmas lunch, Snap Happy, Happy pants and myself, went for a short cache run. This was found after a short search, thankfully on a hot afternoon. This is is lovely little playground area.
Thanks HADO KARP for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.

It seems like all the works are completed now and we thought we would have a quick look and see if the cache was muggled, after a little searching Snap Happy soon had it located and in his hot little hand. Thanks HADO KARP for the hide and for bringing us this great little park tucked away in the burbs.

We have visited the park and it is fenced off and inaccessible. There does seem to be some progress going on so we will need to a wait a little longer to be able to re-hide the cache. Hopefully it will be up and running soon.

Thanks for the heads up cachafish26.
Yes the park is having a revamp and therefore the cache is no longer there. We will disable this one for the time been until we can get access to the park once again to relocate a new cache.

Hi dont know if you are aware but the park is no longer there. There is no entry

Park not there and no entry

Found this one early on Sat morning, not a soul around. Had more trouble pinpointing which street to enter the park from on the geo-bike, occasioning a couple of u-turns, than i did spotting the cache at GZ. An internal and external circuit of GZ lead to the nicely concealed hide. Thanks for pointing out this overlooked and cute little park HADP KARP.

Interesting spot, thanks!

Took me a while to find it, but great hide. TFTC! =)

Too high for geokid but still spotted by the munchkin! Then I had to do the grab. Very well-concealed. Thank you very much Hado Karp for the cache!

Nice

This had been resolved some time ago. Sorry I didnt know how to change the status until now.
All's good.
Team HADO KARP

Lucky I brought my tall husband!

Wouldn't want to be short

What a cute little playground! Totally deserted so it was an easy find. TFTC.

A very mini playground indeed. What a great use of a vacant block, and we would never have known it existed except for this cache. It took about a lap and a half of gz to find what we came for. Log book signed and cache re stashed, we took our leave of this unexpected suburban gem tucked away in a quiet back street. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.

Found with my youngest daughter. I was glad she was with me otherwise i could have felt a bit uncomfortable here. Still my daughter loved having a play and the cache was found without trouble. This type of location is great for the kids TFTC

Found just before rubbish bish trucks came past. Nice find thanks

Beautiful day for a cool geo find. Thanks.

Nice place for a little picnic

Quick find, TFTC

Suscoe's 8th find on a cloudy morning.
All quiet at GZ.
Thanks to HADO KARP.
Nice little park.

In the area to drop off some stuff at a friends house. Needed a quick caching fix on the way home.
Had a reasonably though search before I found this one, luckily it was a quiet afternoon.
Thanks for placing this cache HADO KARP

God damn. Girl friend found it. Forgot pen

A nice quick find for our P366 by Mr A, on our anniversary night - however Mr A had his first Melbourne gig across town and Miss A had a music lesson, so it was baked beans on toast, no flashy anniversary dinner, but we DID get a cache! TFTC, which was a previous DNF for us.

Found on a geocaching walk with geoson and a friend.
Nice spot. Tall geoson's feet didn't need to leave the ground.
Thanks HADO KARP

A midnight find.

Sarah and Aimi discovered this lovely little park. 25 February 2015 4:49 PM

Found.

Found this one today. It is a huge relief to finally get this one off my to do list. This was about the third time that I had been here (mostly in the dark) without success. Today I came during the day and luckily there were no mini-muggles here today. I found this cache after a lot of searching. I looked in most of the places that I had previously looked again and then came from a different angle and voila there was the sneaky cache. Signed log with much relief and went to work nearby.

Thanks for the cache.

Great geocache - found it.

Tough. We needed hints

I am too short to get this... need to bring hubby with me next time

Don't give up

Hard for kids. But us taller gcers found it.

First one of the year on my new bike woohoo

Mm nice day for a ride

Out on a Sunday evening bike ride exploring and hitting a fresh area of caches. Perfect temp tonight. Tftc

Tftc

Definitely not for small people but good find

Nice one

luckily no one around when we came past! Thanks.

Very micro! Nice cache

The hide was found by the Moose, trying out the new GPS. Did the trick, and the log is signed. Thanks for the hide and bringing us here to this cute little park.

Very simple cache, quickly spotted. TFTC

Looked for this one at night. After not finding it, and deciding that me being 4,11 wouldn't help, I brought back my tall buddy. Found it very quickly. GPS slightly off. But a well done hide!

So cute! Although I am tall, still needed to go on tippie toes to reach it. TFTC.

Omg so brilliant!

Phwoar!! 2nd smallest I have found. Took a while then spotted it on last lap. Tftc

We found this cache today at 1:05pm as number 6 of 12 on our Southland and Back Tour. A case of having to be in the right place to spot it. That is a mini playground. Thanks from D, HA and A B-A.

Needing to stretch the legs it was a beaut night for a walk after dinner.
Parked a few streets away on the main road and headed down the wrong street.
After walking around the block I made my way up to the entrance of this well hidden gem of a playground.
Found in the first place I looked, by the light of my phone screen. A neat little container that surprisingly withstood all the wind of last night's storm.
Took nothing, left nothing, signed the log.
Visited a few trackables and replaced as found.
Thanks for the cache and the stroll HADO CARP.

It was at night, but this was still very hard to find!

Find #586

Had been to a function at Kingston City Hall so on the way back towards home I took a small diversion to look for this one. No body around in the playground (not surprisingly seeing as it was late evening) so just a few nearby houses to look out for a I waved my torch around. I found the coords spot on and luckily I spotted the cache in the hiding spot. I was able to retrieve and get it back in place without any muggle attention. Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited a TB. Thanks for the cache HADO KARP.

Very hard. I couldn't reach it but we got it

Very high and it was hard to reach

Nice hiding spot. Not easy to find. And may need a leg up.

Shudder! I used the hint here and immediately obeyed it....massive huntsman! Right there! AAAAH! I dropped my phone which startled it into hiding so I was able to continue looking. I found it where I didn't expect to and was so glad that it's achievable for someone as short as me (5ft zilch). TFTC HADO KARP! My geotoddler had an awesome time working over the playground supervised by his nanna whilst I searched. Apart from the huntsman, this cache will be getting a favourite point from me for the location of the hide, the gorgeous secret setting and the accessibility for a shortie like me after I've been disappointed a lot lately.

Out in the little car with the roof off, avoiding the shenanigans at the MCG. Quick find using the clue in a tidy little park. TFTC

Thanks for the update on the log requiring replacing. We will try to get to it ASAP. HADO KARP

Nice hide! And a couple of cute little treasures inside, which we didn't disturb. TFTC

TFTC Found it #29

Was a really hard find, tool 2 days but the McKinnon boyz <3 <3 managed to find it. This is #7 !

Visiting my personal TB

Visited this serene little park this afternoon. The trees at the end of the park were blossoming which made it so beautiful.

Spotted cache quickly, signed and replaced.

TFTC!

This area brought back many memories as my cousins grew up just around the corner and as I learned to ride a bike round these streets, I left some of my skin nearby as I unsuccessfully tried to stay on two wheels. Today echidn44 and I were the only players in this small park. The cache was soon spotted, retrieval executed, our marks made, and the cache returned to its rightful place with no further loss of skin thankfully TFTC HADO KARP

We had the playground to ourselves today, so it was a very quick find. It took a little longer to to replace it very carefully in its hidey hole. Thanks for the challenge HADO KARP

Despite of beautiful weather nobody around here so it was an easy find.
TFTH. Signed log.

Lovely afternoon, but not a kid in sight. TFTC

First find of my birthday! TFTC
(New log needed)

Great cache and all in good order, just requires a new log

Nice hide! TFTC

Nice spot and cute hide. Tried to avoid the hint but had to go there! Must have looked a bit weird but it's hard to subtle in the middle of the day!!
TFTC

hehehehe

It's late morning in broad daylight and nowhere to be seen, there's a strap hanging underneath ifs that is an indication of where it should be, I've search long enough to log as a dnf

After just writing a dnf I thew my head back and "looked up" wow sneaky s&:"t."
There it is looking at all the time, never signed a log so quick and scurried off.

Smallest yet ive found. Fantastic hide. Great Park for the kids to have a play uninterrupted! Tftc

With star pearl dusk. Dark. 8 degrees Located by torch. Log filled. Actually log filled up. Needs new paper. Thanks for letting us know about this hidden treasure of a park. ( be better in nicer weather. )

Really good spot. TFTC.

Nervously caching in this small park as it is early morning with low light. A quick pinch thankfully - i looked like a geocreep!

This was my second drive past this park. Being so small it feels a bit weird walking into such a small park without either a GeoDog or a GeoKid by your side. Anyway the place today was clear of any Muggles except for a few builders busy across the road. I walked over to GZ and pretty soon had the cache in hand. The nearby table at least made it easy to sign the log without looking too suspicious. TFTC.

Got it. No one here at all so i could take my time.

Bumped into Gerry83 at the local Safeway as he was buying a torch to check this place out. Tagged along to check this cache out, we got to the park and within a couple of minutes the cache was in hand. Definitely needed a torch to grab this one. Thanks for the cache and introducing me to a new park Hado Karp!

Bumped into ghetts in the local Safeway. Was buying a torch for geocaching, as it had just gotten into dusk. We agreed to grab a a few in the area, and this one was a nice little hide. Replaced the cache a little further out of sight as we thought it was a bit exposed. Nice little hide!

Thanks:)

Yayyy

#397 a nice quick cache while the geosisters played on the playground equipment.

We came over to this cache from hodgson reserve. The geosisters started playing on the toys immediately, and it started looking for the cache. Was looking in all the wrong places and even got my sisters to join in, but then I read the hint and had the cache in hand soon after. Signed the lot before I replaced the cache. The kids played for a bit longer before we headed back to centre rd.

Thanks for the cache HADO KARP!

TFTC TNLN SL TBs visited

Condorito

One good thing about being up early on a long weekend is that places like this tend to be muggle free, so lochb and I had it to ourselves so were about to search without any problems. That is, other than not being able to spot anything, and having some GPS wandering to contend with... However, with perseverance, lochb eventually spotted the cache (in a familiar container for me - I've used them for a GCA race caches over the last few years ) TFTC, another smiley in my effort trying to crack the 2000 finds milestone today.

On reading previous logs we also decided to be more methodical about searching for this cache - and there it was! Found in the company of quiet1_au. TFTC

Tiny cache easy to find Thanks.

As an adult male coming into such a small and enclosed (only one way in/out) playground at night, literally nestled between very close homes on all sides, I felt somewhat conspicuous being here alone, particularly shining a torch around in the dark.

Possibly I could have come back with the geokids during the day and felt more comfortable with searching, but then the potential for muggle-based complications would have been so much the greater.

Fortunately it all became academic as I managed to locate the hide almost immediately tonight, so with torch partially shrouded to minimise the amount of light cast I quickly signed the log, replaced the container in its hidey-spot and got back to the car before anyone walked past or looked out their back door to ask what the heck I was doing there.

Thanks for the slightly nerve-wracking cache, HADO KARP.

Find 5/9 on Easter Monday. Cool little park

Nice and easy find on Easter Monday..

Date: 4 April 2014
Time: 6:25pm
Find # 3701
Streak: 247 days

An after work hunt for me tonight. I was worried about this one after reading the title being a solo male, but I arrived to an empty gz, so the hunt began. After checking all the regular places, I became a bit more methodical and in no time the cache was found.

Thanks to HADO KARP for the cache.
