Geocache Description:

The Forgotten Park

This is a quick cache is the pretty surrounding gardens of the often forgotten piece of Hanley Park. A lot of people didn't even know this existed. The area is now maintained by the students that study at Stoke on Trent College and looks a lot better now than it used to.


While You're Here

There are seven other caches that we've placed within the park that you can find after you've found this one. All the caches we have placed are easily found. The other caches in the park are listed below:



About Hanley Park

Hanley Park has been the scene of some exciting changes in recent times. £2.8million has been spent in Hanley Park through the Greening for Growth programme. The park now boasts some fantastic facilities such as the Sports Zone and several Play Areas. Other general improvements in the park make your visit more enjoyable such as: resurfaced paths and car parks; the lake has been improved, there is a decked board walk around the lake, modern art features on the island in the lake and four beautiful fountains; there is also lighting; restored historical features and refurbished toilets.

Hanley Park

Car parks are located off The Parkway and Off Avenue Road. There is pedestrian access from all the boundaries of the park: College road, Avenue Road, Ridgway Road and The Parkway. Hanley park can be reached on the Cauldon Canal, which runs through the park. The tow path has recently been refurbished by British Waterways and connects to the Trent and Mersey Canal at Etruria Locks.

You can read more information about Hanley Park on the Stoke on Trent Councils website.

Please Remember

When out caching in this location you're in a public park. That usually means lots of muggles nearby when you're obtaining the caches. Please ensure that you are not seen retrieving or replacing any of the caches. That way we can make sure that they stick around for a long time. Caches where there are more likely to be people around are given a higher rating to accommodate this difficulty.

If you're caught in the act of finding or replacing a cache, take the time to explain to the muggle if they're interested in GeoCaching and where they can find more information. By doing so, less geovandalism should occur and more people will hopefully take up our hobby.
