I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note.
Hi williamsmatena
This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit and after my previous reviewer note, there has been no owner response. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).
I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.
Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.
Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.

Didn’t actually look as felt uncomfortable being here - seemed like it was part of the building complex.
Logbook wet, not waterproof and it’s on a playground and coordinates are of buy 10m think it needs to be fixed
I have a feeling I know where this one was and I have a feeling it's gone. Pic related
In Palmy for the day, so great to get a few caches here. Last place I looked, but found it eventually.
I made a day trip up to Palmerston today to gain some altitude in the November stage of the "Reach the Peak" challenge. I've decided that with the current Level structure we are in to complete each climb as early in the month as possible. No one around today. I did feel a bit uneasy about where I was though. TFTC
This felt weird, like private property... people were around and I felt like I was trespassing... :/
A quick find after a short seaarch. Was with Crystal Fairy as we headed up to Palmerston North for a weekends caching. TFTC
Due to the postponement of the Auckland Mega, Buttels and the Crystal half decided to use the dates planned for the event to do some caching between Wellington and Palmy. Started off on the wrong side of the fence and doubled back to get closer to the cache. Definitely felt like we were on private property, so quickly found cache, logged it and left. Thanks for the cache
This was actually the first real caching outing for Talla64 and I since the most recent Covid lockdown was lifted, and the day was not the best. Very cold and windy. However we made a plan for PN and came up from Kapiti to find some caches. I'm pleased to say it was a quick find. Thanks for the cache, no-one arround today to witness our activities.
With Flowerydaze on a caching trip from Kapiti. This was on our list on a very cold and windy day. This was our first trip since lockdown and it was nice to be able to get out once more. Thanks for the cash williamsmatena
Good to be back in Palmy for a couple of weeks of work. Have missed geocaching over the lockdown so pleased to be out and collecting some smiley faces. Got here to find the gardener/maintenance man was pottering around. Looked like he was packing up so I hung around and wasn’t long before he headed off. No problems finding the cache and signing the log. Enough some of the flowers while waiting. Thanks for the smiley.
Started up the wrong path to start but soon on the right track.
Got to GZ and after a short search cache was found, log extracted and signed. Log returned and cache left as found.
Thanks for placing this cache williamsmatena.

Our boys loved this wee park! We didn’t sign/date as we didn’t have a tool on us to pull it out.
Good thing the area was vacant since I had to go over it with a fine-toothed comb. I needed a ToTT to get the log out of this one. TFTC.
Nice cache hide. Enjoyed the nice shady spot under the tree on this warm Summer evening. Thanks for the cache.
Nice and quiet when we visited GZ. A quick find was made and our names added to the log. ThanksFTC 
Grabbed this one on an overnight stop in Palmy on way to Auckland. Thanks CO for the cache.
Note to self : buy tweezers. Found but didn't log as had no tweezers nor long skinny fingers.
Walked down the wrong side of the fence but spied the park quickly enough and back tracked back out to Featherston. Walked the full circle before spotting the cache then set about log extraction. Car key was tool enough.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Quick find but took ages to get the log out. Bring tweezers as someone else suggested. Perhaps the cache owner could help make it easier to grab. TFTC!
Today I'm revisting a couple of previous DNFs. This being one of them, I called by for another try as apparently it is there and since it's quiet I can search for the cache without worrying. Yep, all good here. Easy find TFTC
Seat... under a tree... I don't think so. Unless you're referring to the platform around the tree inside the fence on private property. I'm not keen to test that. I had the GZ coordinates in the grass area between the carpark and the fence separating the carpark from the "Hidden Park". Not for me this one.
Found it, once a bigger person looked. Boy look missed it the first time around.
Dun little cache to find with the kids, they can have a play at the same time 
found with gavgav2889
found with gavgav2889Found what I'm sure is the cache; but am unable to remove it from its location. Will see if I can sort this with the CO.
(# 5216). It dawned a lovely day. Big question. Go to work or do a bit of caching in Palmy. Given I am writing this you can tell which way I went. A quick find. Everything in order. TFTC
Lots of looking before we spotted it. Might be a good idea to bring a tool to help get the log out.
TFTC, nice hiding spot, grabbing a number of caches today in palmy trying to tick off as many new ones as possible as I have not been here in a number of years when I had logged 99%of all caches in the city. Bring tweezers if you have large fingers as this was very tricky to get the log out
Cool find. Was abit hard to get the logbook out. Never even knew this tiny park was here. Thanks for the fun! Kids had extra fun on this find.
Thank you for replacing this cache. I can report that all is well here but TOTT recommended to remove log.
Lots of DNFs lately. I looked for a while and couldnt find either. Might be missing.
Had a good scrabble around but no luck!! It's it still there? We're new to this and don't know the tricks??
an awesome park but unfortunately we didn't find any cache. I did however later on find my wallet which had dropped out of my pocket. I discovered it was missing while searching for another cache and luckily when I returned 20 minutes it was still there. Phew.
Found while driving around the North Island while touring around from Australia.. TFTC
