Geocache Description:

This cache is placed in the Jack Muller Park in Bellville. At the moment this park is not much to look at but there are people that care and I am sure one day this park will be restored to its former beauty.

This used to be a very nice park.Families came here for walks and picnics. There were lawns and trees to sit under. It even had a small amphitheatre where live shows were held. Then there were no more money for upkeep and vagrants and bergies took over. During the last few years Friends of the Park decided that it should be restored to its former green park status. A new fence was erected to keep the unwanted out, walking paths are being laid out, benches to sit on etc. I hope that in a few years from now this park can once again become the park it earlier was.

You can park at the given coordinates but the cache is hidden somewhere in the park. The park is only open from sunrise till sunset.
