Easy grab at a cool location.
The corner of 10th and Santa Barbara streets in Santa Paula is
surrounded by tributes to the three forces that shaped the town:
farms, trains and oil. The train tracks, the railroad depot and the
Mill building — a future farm museum — are all visible from that
corner, and the California Oil Museum is just a block away.
Given those surroundings, the neighborhood's newest attraction
might as well have been dropped from space.
It's a perfectly spherical, 5,300-pound ball of granite imported
from India. It floats in the air, balanced above its granite stand
by a steady stream of water.
Santa Paula unveiled the fountain Monday, August 14, 2006. It's
the centerpiece of Railroad Community Park, a privately funded
venture that was officially turned over to the city during a Sept.
5, 2006 ribbon-cutting.
While you are here, be sure to do the excellent virtual cache by
Chaosmanor, "This Stop is Santa Paula" just down the street.
Cache is mint container. You'll have a ball finding
this.

Out trying to get all of the Santa Paula caches today. Had a nice stop here and let our daughter play with the water. Have to admit we might have played with the ball too. TFTC!

Alyssa (age 8) & Marissa (age 10) are getting really good at finding caches, I point them in the direction and give them the clues and they are now finding them before I can get to gz. They enjoyed playing with the ball, TFTC!
