CC4: The Ghost Playground Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

lydz25: It's quite sad to have to archive my first cache, especially since for so long it seemed to be the safest I had!
But it's good that the space is finally going to be used by people other than the weird ghost lady! Altho, where will she go??
I need a CC4 of course. There aren't really any desirable locations close enough, so I might make a puzzle up.

Geocache Description:

You are looking for a small clip-top box. If caching in low light or at night, be careful, there is bit of a pothole now near GZ. There is space for small TBs and swaps, but it is limited.

This is number 4 of the ch00 ch00 series, which is a series of caches retracing the Dyke Railway's route.

There used to be a playground up here, for the younger kids. It has since completely disappeared seemingly without any notice, it wasn't well used, so that could be why. It's quite eerie now tho, You can't tell it was here, but now it's just a plot of land with the benches left in it. 

I thought I'd place a cache to commerarate it. Also, the old Dyke train ran along here, behind Rowan Avenue. Once it was closed the inhabitants of the avenue decided to extend their gardens!
Nearby there is a mosaic, which I contributed to (one of the leaves are mine), but don't stick around for too long!

There are paths around, which are wheelchair accessible, but to get to the actual cache you would need to go on the grass and the actual GZ is not wheelchair accessible, sorry about that. There are plenty of dogs around, so geohounds are welcome - although there is a NO DOGS sign on this section-this is likely to be a throwback to the old park, there would be no children to hurt in here, so the relevancy is up for debate. Also being a park this is great for kids! Go down the hill for the remaining playground and sports facilities!

There are buses available nearby, the most frequent services would be the 5, 5A and 5B. The roads around this one are currently free to park in, but this may change in the future.

Thanks to Brighton & Hove Council's City Parks department for allowing geocaching.
