This cache has been archived.

BeagleBrigade: I had planned to refurbish but will not get there in the immediate future. Low visitation suggests I archive this one and consider a reboot in the fall....

Geocache Description:

Welcome to Guelph's latest "unique" urban space.


The Guelph Pollinator Park is an urban space like few others. After closing the Eastview Landfill Site in 2003, the City of Guelph had to come up with a plan to remediate and re-purpose the site. Unlike "Mount Trashmore" in Kitchener - the old Strasburg Road landfill site - Eastview is not quite tall enough to be a small ski hill.

Instead, the actual landfill is slowly being replanted with pollinator-friendly plant species. Access is restricted to the pollinator park itself, but just outside of the perimeter fence is a groomed trail. The north-east corner of the property is also home to Eastview Community Park with several football and soccer fields as well as parking.

The cache itself is just a small cammoed container hidden in the woods about 30m off the trail. No need for a big bushwhack from the parking lot. Just follow the trail until close and take a short side trip to the cache. There is no winter maintenance so the parking is closed in the off-season. Winter parking is available on the sidestreet across from the entrance co-ordinates.
