Tomkins Park - Calgary Parks 100 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

One Bad Ant: I am going to archive the Tompkins Park - Calgary Parks 100 cache, not because it's a bad park, but because it is a very busy park. There usually muggles around using the park for many reasons, including music, street fairs, entertainment. And that makes a hide near the park difficult. This one has been found and removed too frequently, so it's time for archival.

Geocache Description:




Calgary Parks 100 Project - Calgary Area Cachers teaming up with The City of Calgary Parks

Tomkins Park was established in 1915 on land donated by Henry & Eleanor Tomkins.

Prior to his death in late 1914, Henry Tompkins asked his wife Eleanor to donate some of his land to the city for use as a park. The city first approved the name Tompkins Square but subsequently changes to Tomkims Gardens. Henry Tomkin's will is said to have placed several restrictions on what activities were to be permitted in the park, e.g. no political or religous meetings and no games or recreational activities.
