Another nice park in the Ainako/lower Kaumana area
There is usually a lot of activity going on at this park, with its ball field, playground, pavillion with a kitchen, & gym. Not so much right now, because parts of it are under construction, but the cache is still accessible. You can still park along side of the ball field on the road that leads to Rainbow Falls and the hospital and walk in. The gym and restrooms are closed at this time as well, but there are still a lot of muggles. there was a football game going on when we walked in to place the cache, so stealth is required.
While you are there, walk around to the area between the pavillion and the restrooms and take a look at the old stone oven. Del says it is still used by Portuguese community groups to make authenic Pao doce or Portuguese sweetbread. MMMMMMMMMMMM The cache is NOT in or around the oven, but it is a don't miss feature of this park.
It is highly suggested that you do not go into the river for any reason. Flash floods can occur without warning and as with most fresh water streams and rivers on this side of the island there may be parasites. Also for those that mosquitoes love, some insect repellant might be a good idea.
The signal may be weak under the trees, but you don't have to go in too far.
Congrats to Mudchuker and Akemi for FTF! WTG!!!
