This area is a great little neighborhood park in San Francisco. The locals maintain a lovely community garden that sports lots of native plants, birds and butterflies. Bring some wax paper for some extra fun with the "shoots". Dogs on a leash are welcome. The park is open from sunrise to sunset.
The cache is a clear tupperware container hidden away in the park. Please stay on the path at all times. The cache is hidden on the path, so don't go stomping the flowers. Do hang out a while to enjoy the park and playground. At the entrance to the gardens is a plaque detailing the history of this unique San Francisco location.
Special note: Please respect the neighbors by visiting during the daylight hours.
