Geocache Description:


“Ethennonnhawahstihnen’ - where they had a good, beautiful life”   — The Wendat Nation

Formerly Woodsy Park, Ethennonnhawahstihnen' park was renamed to honour the Wendat Nation who first inhabited the area.  Pronounced "etta nonna wasti-nuh", this is a central hub for the new community that ison property that used to be a distribution centre for the store next door..  With a large playground, sports field, skating pad, and paths for walking and meeting the neighbours, this park is a great addition for all visitors, young and old alike.  Soon a community centre and library will be opened.

Enjoy some of the park's features and art installations as you complete the multi-cache.  The posted coordinates hopefully brings you to a map of the park.  Use this as a guide as I found getting coordinates for the various stages to be unreliable at times.  I named the stages as they are described on the map to make it easier for you to find your way.

  1. Immediately south of the posted coordinates is the Ice Skating Rink / Reflecting Pond.  On east and west ends of the rink/pond, there are bent metal poles that form a "wall".  How many of the poles are there in the blue padded area?  If both ends of the metal poles are in the blue area, this would count as two.  A
  2. Maple Leaf Trellis: How many maple leaves? B
  3. Maple Leaf Fence: The fence surrounds the sports field.  How many light poles are there for lighting the field and how many lights on each pole?  Multiply the two numbers.  C
  4. Cracked Ice: How many triangles are there that do not touch the border?  If a triangle is formed using the frame, do not count these.  Only need to count the triangles on one side.  D

X = (10×D - A - B - C) ÷ 1000

Y = (3×C - B) ÷ 1000

For the final north coordinates, add X to the posted coordinates.  For the final west coordinates, add Y to the posted coordinates.
