The second in a series of caches celebrating the provision of play areas in an industrial area. The park has a kids play area for geokids and a blacktop for street ball. This is a busy area with local kids and so it makes the cache a quick snatch and grab needing stealth. The cache is small and doesn't have room for swaps. Bring a ball or the kids and try to blend in. The cache location is visible to walking and car traffic. Congrats FTF Lonely Rooster
Hillsdale was part of the suburb of Matraville until the 1960s. Matraville was originally reserved for the Church and Schools Corporation with income generated intended to support clergy and teachers. It reverted to the crown in 1917 and was allocated for a settlement for soldiers returning from World War I. The suburb was split between Randwick and Botany Councils. When problems arose from the division in 1961, Botany Council decided to rename its portion Gilmore, to honour Australian poet Dame Mary Gilmore (1864–1962). After the post masters general office pointed out that there already was a Gilmore, New South Wales, the council chose Hillsdale to honour Patrick Darcy Hills, who was the New South Wales minister for local government. It was a controversial choice since most residents believed that a name should have been chosen that reflected Australia's history.
