Geocache Description:

Just a wee cache to put this park on the map which wasn't feeling any geocache love.

It should be winter friendly.

 

Had to increase the difficulty rating on the cache as people were struggling to locate the cache. It's not as hard as it's rated.

Short history lesson for those inclined:

Alberta-bom Ken Newman (h. 1917) was a WWII veteran and the last mayor of the Town of Jasper Place. After serving overseas, he began farming in Jasper Place. Newman was elected to the Jasper Place town council in 1952 and served for five years. In 1957 he was elected mayor and saved until the town amalgamated with Edmonton in 1964. That same year Newman was elected as an Edmonton alderman and served (except for 1966 to 1968) until his retirement in 1983. The Ken Newman Park is in the High Park neighbourhood and has an area of 1.3 ha.
