Two Rivers Urban Park Gateway Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

ROTSIP: This cache was removed by the CO. As there has been no cache to find for months, and it seems unlikely that it will be replaced soon, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.
If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email, quoting the GC number), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
Thanks for the past fun.

Geocache Description:

Have you ever driven past this and wondered what it was?

Any easy drive by cache

This structure is the gateway to the Two Rivers Urban Park and is still under construction. The lettering is still to be added


Park safely within meters by driving about 220 along the parkway (towards the N2) from  the intersection and turning left into the gravel parking lot and then doubling back to the cache site or  park off Liesbeek Ave - which is on the other side of the river - then walk back over the bridge to your destination.

The area of TRUP

The area of the Two Rivers Urban Park

The area defined as the Two Rivers Urban Park, located at the confluence of the Black and Liesbeek Rivers, is a special and unique place in Cape Town. The area comprising of sensitive ecological systems and habitats, extensive open space areas, significant institutions, historical buildings and cultural landscapes, provides an ideal space for the creation of a park that fulfils a variety of human and ecological needs and responds creatively to this quality environment. Within our city there is an urgent need to protect and rehabilitate ecological systems and to encourage mutually beneficial relationships between people and the natural environment. This is recognised as critical to the sustainable development of the city, and hence is a central concern of local government. The area identified as the proposed Two Rivers Urban Park offers an exciting opportunity to address these needs. However, current institutional limitations and budgetary constraints mean that investing considerable financial and human resources in the development and maintenance of parks in the order of Kirstenbosch or the Company Gardens, is unsustainable. Within such limitations and inspired by the idea of the Urban Park, there are considerable opportunities for a proactive and creative approach towards honoring this responsibility
