Geocache Description:

For those days when you want to go caching but don't want to get muddy....This cache is part of New Jersey’s “Tiny Often Empty Park” Tour.

Cache is log only, so be sure to bring a pen.


Please visit the cache that started it all, Kitegirl’s - Tiny Often Empty Park (#1): North Brunswick, NJ. Here you will find the latest count of caches in the series and find out how you can add your own.


This nano cache is located in a small park located next to the driveway of the Matawan post office just before Ravine Drive on Main Street. The park has a small sidewalk area that provides visitors with a place to sit and relax.

The Downtown Matawan Alliance annually decorates trees around the post office with lights for the holidays. In 1999, the alliance decided to fix the entire space around the trees to create this “pocket park”. The park was completed in 2002, with the Matawan Historic Sites Commission donating a welcome sign and the Matawan Women’s Club planting an evergreen tree.

Note: The evergreen tree has now been replaced with a small fountain. Still nice though.

This park is dedicated to Peter Buxbaum, a Matawan post office employee and cancer victim who passed away in early 2002.


Please use extreme stealth since the surrounding area may be teeming with muggles at certain times of the day!!


Congratulations to ericles on a well-earned First to Find!!
