Welcome to
Rupert Park!
Note: This
cache has been converted from the final location of the East
Van Micro-Cachelon to a regular cache.
Once
destined for a shopping mall this uniquely located park was set
aside for the public’s enjoyment in 1965. Thankfully, a dedicated
Vancouver Park Board and a diligent community convinced City
Council that the east side of the city needed parkland more than a
shopping facility. Rupert Park was officially named in January 1967
and opened as the Park Board’s third pitch & putt golf course
in 1971. Its main distraction was a major highway bisecting its
rolling greenswards. In 1995 the
park was completely refurbished and the road removed making the
property whole once again. New fields, a renovated golf course and
redesigned fieldhouse plus a perimeter pathway give this
neighbourhood park a multifaceted feel.
Good luck!
This cache is a medium / tube shaped plastic
screw-top container inside a ziplock
bag.
It's well stocked with lots of other 'good
stuff' so please trade
evenly.
Note: Plenty of free parking can be found
