Geocache Description:

While everyone cool calls our trough the Lion’s Head, its real name is the Charles Caldwell Park Memorial Trough. Yes, that’s right. Santa Barbara has a memorial trough. How cool is that?

The cache is located in the City of Santa Barbara at a well known local memorial. How many times have we driven by this famous site and never taken the time to stop and enjoy it?
Charles Caldwell Park, a doctor and writer, built the trough in 1911 in memory of his two deceased sons, Roy Harrison Park and Charles Caldwell Park, Jr.. Francis Wilson, architect of the Santa Barbara train depot, designed the trough. Researchers couldn’t find any information as to why Mr. Park and Mr. Wilson decided upon a trough.
There is no relation between these Parks and Alice Keck Park, the famous Santa Barbara benefactress of Alice Keck Park Park.
