drbadger: Work is going on in the park that will change the clues and coordinates. I am also incorporating the park into an Adventure Lab series so am happy to cut my losses with this one knowing that it will be replaced.

Geocache Description:


Ellington Park entered into public hands in 1892, having formerly been part of the Ellington Estate. Since then it has seen many features come and go including an aviary, a pool and an ornate fountain. Today, the park retains a 110 year old bandstand (recently refurbished), a playground, and a miniature railway. In recent years a team have been working on the regeneration of the park, establishing a nature garden, installing fitness equipment, planting trees, building a cafe, and opening a bookshop in an old shipping container. 

The cache is not at the posted coordinates, but can be found at N51 AB.CDE E1 FG.HJK. Read the description and visit the waypoints to find the missing digits.
