Geocache Description:

Northwood Pride Cache

Placed in a little known park on the outskirts of Hanley, Stoke on Trent, close to 'Northwood Stadium'.

The park plays home to 'Stoke Pride' celebration each year, bringing more visitors to the park in one day than it receives all year!

About the Park:

Opened in 1907, the park was opened by the Mayor of Hanley, Alderman T. Hampton following a procession from Hanley Town Hall.

The park cost £9,500 to create and has stood the test of time, though a small 'fish pool' (as originally named) has now vanished without trace.

Two chidren's play areas exist along with a basketball area, enclosed football court and a maintained bowling green - not bad for 8 acres of nice land among housing estates.

A few buildings still exist in the park though still seem to suffer the vandal's blight.

A statue of the goddess Temperentia is sited in the park - more information click here

About the cache:

You're looking for a small tubular cache in one of the more majestic trees. There are two of these trees near to the bowling green.

Log and pencil inside the cache holder.

Cache is at 'head height' and does not require you to tread of any flowerbed - please respect the park and environment.
