Geocache Description:

Located in an underused area of the Bronx NY, Riverdale! Planning on this being one of many in the area.

Endor Community Garden is a woodland garden and trail along the parkway in the Bronx planted in 2000 by students from four local high schools and maintained by neighbors. It has been recognized as a model for using terraced landscaping along the Henry Hudson Parkway to capture storm water in soil divert it from the city's combined sewers.Endor was planted in conjunction with the Fieldston Road Overpass gardens, now a block-long Greenstreet.

The coordinates were only a few feet off when taken so your GPS should lead you right. You're looking for a 35mm canister and you'll need a pen for the Tyvek paper. I gave it a rating of 1.5 for terrain because of the mulch trail, but it is still accessible via stroller and wheelchair. Some stealth is required due to the nearby school and homes surrounding you. In the winter the area is fully exposed but the foliage is full in the spring/summer.
