The cache is not at the above co-ordinates, but you will find free parking, toilet facilities and a mobile refreshment van there. The park has cricket and football pitches, a children's play area, a dog walking track, cycle path, outdoor gym equipment and lovely views of Poole Harbour. The walk can be done entirely on tarmac paths and pavements, or you can walk on the grass instead if you prefer.
You are looking for a small container which contains a few swaps and a FTF prize - as this is a high muggle area, please take care retrieving and concealing the cache.
