The 'Spider Park' is owned by Sheffield City Council and maintained by Hallam Community Youth Association. From their website:
"The first Children’s Playground was erected by Sheffield City Council in the mid-1960’s, and consisted of swings, a roundabout, a slide, a rocking horse and a climbing frame. Because the climbing frame was in the form of a large spider, the local children quickly started to refer to the Playground as Spider Park. The name stuck. Over the years the equipment wore out, and, because of financial constraints, was removed but not replaced. It was a day for great sadness when the old spider was finally cut down, leaving only the swings and the slide.
In 1999 The Hallam Community and Youth Association decided to try and refurbish Spider Park as its Millennium Project. An appeal was made for funding, and in 2001 the Community Fund (National Lottery Charities Board) awarded a grant of £137,000 to the Association to allow the project to proceed.
The park was formally opened on 23rd March, 2002 by the Chairman of the Association, Mr. Alan Bone, in front of a massive crowd of over 500 local residents. Balloons and Badges with the Spider Park motif were given to all children in attendance."
We love visiting this park with our daughter, enjoying the play area, the wide open spaces and the wooded area with cycle track.
We wanted to design a short multi cache that families would enjoy and include the parts of caching that our 3 year old loves the most- short time between stages and lots of potential treasure!
At each of the 3 stages you will need to collect some information from the caches. These numbers will help you find the final hidden stage. Replace the letters with the numbers from each stage.
Hidden final stage: 53 22.176, -W EB.STER
-W can be found in 'A Scurry Around The Park 1'.
EB can be found in 'A Scurry Around The Park 2'.
STER can be found in this cache. There is an extra digit that may not be needed by all devices, but was included as it fit the spider's name!
