Geocache Description:


Stewart Park (11 acres), called after Sir D. Stewart, Lord Provost in 1893.  The park contains whale jaw bones presented to the park in 1903 by the Captain of the Artic Whaler Benbow.  There is an intricate fountain designed as a replica of an Italian lavabo which was sculptured by Arthur Taylor of Jute Street, Aberdeen. 

This park opened in 1894 and is named after the then Lord Provost of Aberdeen, Sir David Stewart. Mrs. Taylor of' Woodside had left £800 for a play area and this was used to buy 14 acres close to Hilton House. Within the land acquired from the Hilton estate were 3 disused quarries, which were retained in part to make ponds that were stocked with fish. These have since been filled in but the park still provides opportunities for games and a quiet stroll enjoying the flowers.

"Erected to the memory of Mrs.Taylor widow of the late John Taylor, Merchant, in woodside who gifted this peice of ground to be used as a childrens playground"

Nano sized cache, park can be quite busy during a nice day. Best to go at night to avoid being spotted.
