Here we are at the City Plaza Park, a pleasant spot close to Santa Clara University and the "Old Quad" neighborhood. The small branch library is almost a secret. It is a very friendly place to help a child become accustomed to a library and provides adult literacy services as well.
The large gazebo is a place to enjoy a sandwich on a warm day and watch the squirrels scamper about. On Saturday morning there is a farmers' market a few blocks away by the post office.

Many caches have been placed in this park over the years, some around this very spot. This container is a concealed magnetic nano. You don't need to crawl through any vegetation to find it. This is intended as an easy find, just note that GPS signals are bothered by the trees. Also, some stealth is required at GZ. The hint is still a give-away to make it easy for kids, and keep cachers from attracting attention. On-street parking is free and very easy. Bring a pen. Please replace the cache where you found it and be careful not to drop the log on the ground!
Update 1/3/2019: The remodeling of the library is complete. Well done! New cache location is to the west.
Hey, new cachers---The Geocachers of the Bay Area website is full of information and lists lots of free (or nearly free) activities and events. Click on the logo and check it out.
