Bushes and Fields - Boden Reserve Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

skyebomonkeytown: As the final is no longer accessible to the public due to redevelopment, I’ve seen it as a sign that it’s time for the series to go, opening up these wonderful green spaces to others for some new whiz bang hides! Do not come to look for the cache as I have removed it.

Geocache Description:


Bushes and Fields is a series I am creating showcasing some local HomeBUSH and StrathFIELD green spots, and the history associated.

Each cache holds information you will need to retain should you wish to find the final in this series, http://coord.info/GC5GVF0 (link will only work once published).

Boden Reserve is a neighbourhood park designed as an integral feature of the surrounding residential area, providing recreation opportunities and enhancement of local amenity and streetscape.  The objective of this park is provision of safe play areas especially for children under surveillance of adults.  This park features a dedicated children’s playground.

The land on which Boden Reserve is built is divided by a large and deep drain.  The land was acquired by Strathfield Council for a public park as the land was considered unsuitable for building.  This park was named in honour of Frederick Boden, an Alderman of Strathfield Council [1924-33].  (Reference: Jones, C, Parks, Reserves & Memorials of Strathfield, 2004).

The cache itself is not near the playground equipment and should not cause any 'concern'.

There are some amazing old, large trees with amazing above-ground root systems, which would be perfect for hiding a micro - too small for swaps and you will need to bring your own writing implement. There are two access points to the park with (free) on-street parking in front of the park. It is accessible at all times (there are residences nearby so appropriate stealth is recommended, as always).

Congratulations to Baktrak on FTF about half an hour after publishing!
