Northview Park Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

neco_cachero: This cache lasted one year before going MIA. The container was made of a log I picked up by the river. I carved the side to attached a tin can to it. This park had the reputation for devouring caches. I think lasting that long was a very meritorious achievement by this cache. I archive the cache to let the next geocacher who lives nearby try to hide a cache here. It is always crafting caches that blend in their surroundings. Good luck and happy caching!!!

Geocache Description:

Welcome to Northview Park !!!

Wolfberry23 and theLouie recently moved to this neighborhood. We wanted to hide a cache close by and this park is not too many blocks away. The park is going under a severe makeover as you will notice. However all the construction should not affect the cache and you should not interfere with the construction either. Stay outside of the wire fence. The park has a curfew of 11pm.


Northview Park

Although relatively small in size, Northview Park offers amenities usually associated with parks much larger in size. This park serves as a neighborhood park to local residents, as well as a community park to those traveling to play on the irrigated youth softball/baseball field. The softball/baseball field is not in used because of the construction. If you bring your dog for a walk this is a good area to play fetch because it is fenced.

In addition, there is a 2,700 square foot swimming pool with a separate training pool. A small shelter and playground, and ample parking nearby complete the many offerings of this park. All these is under construction now. You will see the amazing slides they are building.

Park Pool

Northview Pool was last renovated in 1986-87 when a wading pool was added and the bath house and concession areas enlarged. The original pool dates to 1972. It is located in a moderate-income northeastern neighborhood which has grown immensely since the pool’s original construction. Replacement of the pool facility is anticipated, with review of existing facilities to determine if any can be re-used

Anticipated improvements at Northview include a replacement pool with zero depth entry, expanded tot pool/shallow depth play area, expanded deck area, slide(s), diving board(s), shade features, bathhouse renovation, lighting upgrades, and complete mechanical system replacement to provide a facility to serve residents for many years to come.

The cache is a small tin cookie can. It has been camouflaged to blend into the park's landscape. Remember although the park is under construction, it still could be a high traffic area for muggles, especially mini-muggles. Be careful not to be muggled while finding the cache. I hope the cache and its camouflage will last long time in this park. It is gonna be a good test for this containers I am building lately.

Was it a cache in this park before? I could not find any archived cache in this park. Well not that is that easy to query archived caches. Oh well, happy caching !!!
