Has a pretty good look, but couldn’t find it, as it got dark fairly quickly. Beautiful park and nice poetry.
We checked everywhere. Just rained so maybe washed away or in a place full of water
DNF I searched for at least 30mins. If someone else finds it I'll be back to search again.
Haven't found a cache this nano since doing urban caching in Europe. Thanks for the hint. Drunken poet would be a good candidate for a Horrible Histories stupid death. The mounded lawn needs mowing.
Cutest cache I ever did see! And in such a lovely park I didn’t know existed! The photos helped enormously. Thanks so much 
Started raining once I arrived at the park. It was a bit of a rush to look but found it in the end! Great spot!
It was getting late in the day as we parked just across from GZ and I walked around to sit almost on top of the cache. A quick check gave me the tiny container and I logged then returned it as found. I was a bit concerned about the number of single men wandering about the park at this time though none of them were close enough to see what I was doing. Thanks smirkwood for a good hide in a very nice park, loved the silver statue.
Found! I lost my pen on the way there so this is proof of find. The wood has been painted and I thought that would be why the last log was DNF, it is still there, just very sneaky.
This mayst brings the smallest log I’ve signed. I needed the help from previous photos. Thank you
Just removing the needs maintenance status as this cache seems to be going strong.
TFTC! A lovely park - great for family picnic (w/ or w/o small children). Grateful for my girlfriend’s nails - the log was difficult to get out.
Didn’t find the hint particularly helpful - the photos below proved more helpful.

Found with Ris768 for the daily cache took some time to find as we missed it in its hiding place but a second search revealed the cache

Lovely little park that was deserted on Saturday morning when I had a few minutes on way home. Kids probably at Saturday tutoring? Found easily - what could take a magnet? Clue helps Thanks FTC
TFTC. It was great to get out of the house on a cold, windy but sunny Sat arvo even if it's a DNF. Great park.
Diabolically small! Gruf’s photo assisted immensely, avoid it for spoilers loved the park and learnt something new, recognition of an inspirational drunk

Found this one on my way home from work on a freezing and dark night. Shame this park isn't lit up at night because from what I could see, it's a beautiful spot. Looked for a while for the cache and eventually found it. What a sneaky little guy!
Never nano at night! Haha It was pretty tricky replacing the log and cache. Will visit in the day time next time. TFTC

My visit coincided with the annual meeting of People Who Stand In One Place And Talk Incessantly For Over An Hour. Unfortunately their meeting point was at GZ. They showed every intention of remaining there long into the day, so I reluctantly pulled up sticks and headed for home.
Returned in the late afternoon to find a gloriously vacant GZ. With no muggles to contend with this was a quick find. Cheers smirkwood!
Found myself in Sydney for a 4 day course out in Hurstville. Study by day, cache by night (or straight after the day's activities continuing into the night). Staying downtown and commuting back and forth along the T4, inbetween there was time for Skyping with the family back home, eating, showering and sleeping. Other than that, not much else was done.
Apologies for the generic log, specific details added as noted along the way. TNLNSL TFTC
Didn't take too long to find, second spot actually. Admired the artwork, then inbetween muscle dude at one end of the park and stretching guy at the other doing their stuff made the quick grab, sign and return

A quick find this morning, even with the tai chi going on. Great way to start a day of caching
a drunken poet? .. they do go back a long way, huh? .. LOL I like what the council has done with this little park in suburbia .. it shows some thinking "outside the box". TFTC smirkwood
There is a few bars and things to play on and like balance beams. There is a huge hill to roll down which I did most of the time. Thanks to the people who found this in the first place though I live so close to the park.
My last one for the day.
A pleasant park to sit in for a while.
I arrived at lunch time and there were some muggles enjoying their break nearby. Luckily i had my cache sense turned up and was able to locate the nano without drawing attention to what i was doing.
Unfortunately the log is completely full and needs to be replaced.
Thanks.

Location usually teeming with muggles so had to revisit a few times. Log is completely full.
smirkwood I found your cache Ma’anshan Friendship 马鞍山 on 25/3/18, 9:32 am. This is my find 1938 and find # 1 today. After the gpsr settled found it in quick time. Log book full. Thanks for the cache! TNSLLN
Found by geolad 10 in the rain to keep the trams daily streak alive log needs replacing completely full tftc
I was out and about in the area and found myself close to this cache, so decided to take a look. The first time I came a few months back, the little park was swarming with muggles, so I had to abort the hunt. On this occasion I was pleased to see that it was muggle free, so I parked the car and headed towards gz. The hint didn't really help too much so it took a little while. A tricky one. TFTH 
A quick find although a bit of stealth was necessary as there was a group doing tai chi in the playground. Memo to the CO the log is now full, I had a spare but was unsure what to do with the old one. TFTC.
Find #32
Found this while out on a train spotting afternoon with the family. We had some time to kill so decided to visit this little park. What an awesome little park! So well set up and maintained!
The geokiddies had a run around and played on the exercise equipment while we waited for the muggles to move from GZ. Once the coast was clear it was CIH in mins. A quick sign of the log and it was back in its hiddy hole. Cache is in great condition but there are only a few spots left on the log so it will need some attention from the CO soon.
Thanks for introducing us to this little gem smirkwood and TFTC!
