Geocache Description:

A quiet park on the way to Berrima from Moss Vale.  Plenty of room to run about, although there is an unfenced road passing by the park.  Bring your own pen.

Wingecarribee Shire Council's website at the time of writing offers absolutely no information about this park apart from its location.  However, The Bushies have provided info in their Found log: This park was named after a Jim Cosgrove who played a major part in creating Moss Vale Leighton gardens and many other parks in the Moss Vale area in the 1960- 1990 era. He was the first full time gardener employed by the Wingecarribee Shire Council so they decided to honour him with a park. Hence "Cosgrove Park". He still has two of his children living in the area. If you Google Jim Cosgrove it may tell you more.

Anyway, I stopped here on a whim with the kids to read the sign board - I'm a sucker for an information board or a plaque.  Given it was a beautiful, sunny winter Saturday afternoon and nobody was around, I assume this park doesn't get much use.  It seemed like a good spot to place another cache in the run-up to the "31 Days of Caching" in August 2013, giving the locals another find without having to go too far afield.
