This cache is located along Middletown-Lincroft Road in Lincroft, NJ.
It is meant to be children friendly, perfect for a short stroll on Sunday afternoon... and not only :)
You are looking for small container - please re-hide as found. Below a little bit of information about the park's environment.
The park is combination of several ecosystems. The playground is in a mature upland hardwood forest.There's a small stream that you cross while entering the park, which flows to a larger stream which can be seen meandering through its low floodplain. The floodplain stores water when the stream floods and is habitat for wetland plants and animals, such as amphibians.
When humans change any one ecosystem, all the other ecosystems are affected. Cutting down the forest and covering it with the houses and roads will cause increased storm runoff into the streams. Increased runoff creates higher stream volume which causes muddy water and wetland erosion. Fill in the wetlands, and flood waters have no place to be stored, causing more downstream flooding.
Look around you and see how these ecosystems interact.
