Geocache Description:


Was revisiting old haunts recently, and remembered this little playground where I took my kids once or twice about 40 years ago . 

We lived in the Oratia area, and had some good friends in Glengarry Rd.

It used to be very basic... Came here today with 3 granddaughters for a play and a picnic.

It has totally changed ! Looked very cool at first glance.  But when they tried to play on the monkey bars etc everything is REALLY high up !

This makes it pretty impossible unless you are super strong and can hoist up your kids above head height !

Anyway.... back to the subject .  This cache is not in the playground itself.... but you need to go down further to a wee path ...the one that leads to West Coast Road.

Look for a concrete corner post ...and it is close by at GL

I parked in Nicolas Ave off Glengarry Rd ...but you could walk up from West Coast Road.

Added some tiny toys to swap .

Please be discrete and quiet...as houses nearby....

Please ensure you replace with rock in front of cache . A few toy dinosaurs to swap...
