Geocache Description:

Welcome to the North Vancouver Public Art Geocache experience, brought to you by the North Vancouver Recreation & Culture Commission! Through the delivery of cultural services initiatives, including a renowned public art program, we respond to and reflect upon the diversity and creative spirit of this community.  We are pleased to be able to show you some wonderful examples of the public art. You will find that each one has a unique story to tell.


This transit-friendly Wherigo features nine works of public art in the heart of the Lynn Valley Centre area. As you visit each piece you will need to observe your surroundings and collect some information that will allow you to calculate the final coordinates where the cache container and log book will be found.

This cartridge is designed to be completed as a walking tour, covering a total distance of about 3km. Without rushing, it can be done in around 45 minutes. It's not a difficult walk, and all areas where the art is found are wheelchair accessible, but be sure to exercise the appropriate caution when you need to cross a street. Biking might be a little hard to do while playing the Wherigo cartridge, and I wouldn't recommend driving, mainly because parking can be difficult to find near some of the art.


You will visit nine art pieces and collect nine clues identified by letters A thru I. Use them as follows:
N 49 [E*G].CFA W 123 IH.G[D-C]B

Start your adventure HERE!

If you enjoy a particular art piece, please mention it in your log, and feel free to take as many photos as you like. You will notice that some of the pieces are near residences so remember to respect peoples' privacy.

As always, have a great Geocache time and I hope you have a chance to visit other Public Art Wherigos as they spring up across the North Shore.

PS: If you are coming here by car, please note the parking restrictions for the Lynn Valley Centre property and park your vehicle wisely. There are 2 bus stops within 100m of the posted starting point.

This wherigo cartridge was made using the Wherigo\\kit builder by Ranger Fox.
Thanks also go out to HwyGuy and Sailaboat for their assistance.
