Geocache Description:

Located at Falgarwood Park in Oakville, Ontario. This cache has four fairly challenging somewhat unique hides. The final is a small container suitable for trackables and tradeables.

Published coordinates lead to some park benches close to all stages.

Our mostly flat and easy access neighbourhood park was too good to just set up one traditional cache. I waited until I had over 100 caches finds, and numerous DNFs, to put together my first cache.

This is a 4-stage multi with a nano, a micro and a surprise that may bite you.

This multi theme is based on "Guards" in and around Falgarwood Park: Playing Field, Baseball Diamond/Rink, Creek, Pool and School Crossing.

Watch out for "No Parking" near the swimming pool. Part of the multi is adjacent to a kid's playground. Be wary of acting suspicious near the playground when children are there. The busiest time is just after school ends at 3:45pm.
