Thanks to Coquitlam's Park Spark program, we will CITO Mackin Park, Saturday April 23rd from 10:00-12:00.
The City's program will provide garbage bags, litter pickers (limited amounts, if you have some, please bring them!), safety vests, and vinyl gloves to help us in their endeavours to tidy up this great park! We will even have stickers and tattoos for the kids and some t-shirt prize draws!
In addition, you will find 3 great geocaches within the park that you can claim (if not too muggly) while you clean up! And 3 more lie very close to this park, with many, many more within a few minutes drive. Clean up, grab lunch at one of the nearby restaurants and explore Coquitlam's caches.
I will supply hot water for tea and hot chocolate and will buy one caraffe of coffee for the event. If you have a thermos of hot water/coffee to share, that would be fantastic! It will be much more delightful to have goodies: if you can (not mandatory) please bring some kind of breakfast treat that is easy to share - muffins, cinnamon buns, etc. Please bring your own water bottle if it is a warm day. I will buy a flat of cheap water at Costco, but when it's gone, it's gone... You will see us set up at the table with the geocaching symbol, above the playground area, on the grass.
I don't want to guarantee that it is a completely wheelchair accessible event-but most of the area is well trodden grass fields. With a grabber to reach for trash, it should be very doable for those on wheels!
Rain or shine-we're cachers after all!
*** Please note cachers will have to sign a city waiver form to participate***.
*** Please be aware of what stinging nettle looks like, it grows in various areas of this park***
*** Long pants and closed toe shoes are advised for this reason!***
