In the late 1980's, the Johnson Family Foundation established and funded a series of study projects investigating the potential for creating a connected trail corridor along our unique network of rivers and waterbodies. Initial walkway construction began in 1993 with the completion of four demonstration walks. A master plan guided development from Signal Hill in the East, through the Cities of St. John's and Mount Pearl, and to Octagon Pond in Paradise in the West. The entire Grand Concourse network was completed in 2005 with approximately 125 km's of walkways, linkages and connecting sidewalk routes. This walkway network has since received local and international attention and has been considered among the finest walkway systems in Canada.
The Grand Concourse is currently expanding into the Towns of Conception Bay South, Portugal Cove - St. Philip's and Torbay, providing a broad integration into the northeast Avalon Region, serving nearly 265,000 residents and countless visitors.
The container itself is camouflaged and very near the trail - you won't have to leave the lawn-like grass to find! While the cache may be slightly out of reach, it can certainly be spotted from the sitting position. The only obstacle may be some slightly prickly plant life discovered near GZ when hiding. Please BYOP.
