Kariya Wedding Bell Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

northernpenguin: This was the very first cache that I placed with Kitten on the hunt. What a journey it's been since!
I've read a lot of stories from visitors from around the world and enjoyed each one.

Since the cache was placed, we bought a house in Georgetown and found that we were visiting Kariya Park less as we found new places to relax. At the same time, Geocaching has changed it's personality as a hobby and the pursuit of these has become more about the numbers than the unique places or adventures. I'm still very much about the adventures and unique experiences and I have found new ways to explore. As such, I've decided to open up this location to a new geocacher to place a new adventure.

Thank you to everyone who visited this cache and shared your adventures with us. Hope to see some of you on the trails in the future.

Geocache Description:

Kariya Park is a hidden gem in downtown Mississauga. This garden celebrates Mississauga's twinning with Kariya, Japan.

This is a beautiful spot, complete with a rather large pond and koi fish. The large bell is actually called "The Friendship Bell". A lot of people come here for their wedding photos (the owners of this cache included). Bring a camera and come early in the day for the best photos. Be sure to spend some time wandering and enjoying this place; it is very special to us.

This park closes at night and is monitored. No night caching for this one.

You can reach this cache without stepping on any plants or otherwise harming the garden. This is a rather busy place with people milling about enjoying the view in the warmer months. Please use discretion.

This is the starting point for the Kariya Swimmer Travel Bug (TBJ1K4).
