Geocache Description:

This is a view from the house of an old friend. This is an easy walk-up cache with room for some small TB's and tradables. Container is a plastic coffee jar. Please put cache back as you found it.

Marie Curtis Park is situated on both banks of the Etobicoke Creek (bordering Mississauga) before it runs into Lake Ontario. It was originally part of the "Indian Hunting Grounds" inhabited by the Mississauga Indians. In 1787, Etobicoke was part of the purchase of a quarter million acres (The Toronto Purchase) from the Mississaugas, stretching 14 miles along the shores of Lake Ontario from Etobicoke to Scarborough and 30 miles inland. The land was purchased for 1700 pounds sterling and some other goods. Etobicoke itself was named by the natives that frequented the area calling it a "place where the wild alders grow", once spelled Ato-Be-Coake. This park was created in 1954 after the flood waters of Hurricane Hazel had come through and devastated many of the low-lying properties. In fact my friend has told me stories of boating up 42nd Street. She even told me that there was once a marina that was wiped out that sat in the mouth of the creek prior to Hurricane Hazel. The park is named in honour of Marie Curtis - reeve of Long Branch, to commemorate her outstanding contributions to the park and the municipal government in the village of Long Branch. The WaterfrontTrail runs though it. The Etobicoke Creek Trail leads you leads up to Horner. The park has many amenities. I used to spend a lot of time here when I was young feeding the ducks. There are an abundance of mallards as well as geese...watch out as they think that they own the road!

Parking is available in the park but not along 42nd Street. It is easily accessed by transit as it is just down the street from the Long Branch Loop and Go Station.

Cache contains: PT Cruiser TB and launching Duck TB as well as other tradables.

Congrats to tyrant.68 for FTF!
