Brian @ Victory Park Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Hendry Clan Five: There had been a problem with the last couple of hides for this cache. Had another go and returned today to take a further set of coordinates before updating the coordinates but the new container had also gone! I've run out of options that don't take this away from its original intention so I think it's time to draw a line under this one with thanks to those who found or tried it.

Geocache Description:

Take a walk through the recently updated Rangletts Rec, take in a football match, or do a quick "grab and dash".

You will need to bring a pen and a pair of tweezers may be helpful.

 


Victory Park is the home ground of Chorley Football Club and opened in 1920.

Chorley originally played at Dole Lane (now the Coronation recreation ground), but moved to Rangletts recreation ground in September 1901. Victory Park was built adjacent to the recreation ground in 1919 and was opened in 1920. It was named Victory Park to commemorate the end of the First World War. The original grandstand was gutted by fire on 17 November 1945, just hours after an FA Cup tie against Accrington Stanley, with a new stand being built in May 1947 at a cost of £5,500.

Chorley's record attendance for a game at Victory Park is 9,679 for a FA Cup tie against Darwen on 15 November 1932.

At the time of publication, Chorley FC sit third in the Conference North division.

Rangletts recreation ground has been improved recently, and now includes community allotments, a skatepark and play equipment for children and young people.  This is an urban oasis close to the Town Centre. See how many local buildings you can see from around GZ.
