Bzerk Park+Rec Orphans #11: Grove Park Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Nomex: Hi
As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm temporarily archiving this to keep it from continually showing up in search lists. Just contact us when you have the cache repaired, [RED]and assuming it still meets the guidelines[/RED], we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Don't hesitate to email me via the link on my Profile if you have any questions. [red]Please be sure to include the cache name and GC Code, or better yet, the URL of the cache page.[/red]

Thanks for your cooperation!

Geocache Description:

This is a small container, covered in camouflage tape and hidden in one of Berkeley's cache-less parks.

This is the 11th in a continuing series of hides that I place in Berkeley parks that don't have caches (and are eligible for caches). I wanted to do some more hides; Berkeley has many parks without caches... seemed like a good match. I am seeing a lot of Berkeley's smaller parks, and noticing things that I might not have seen otherwise; perhaps you hunters will appreciate this, too.

Grove Park is a good-sized (3 acres) multi-use park in South Berkeley, just a couple of blocks from the Ashby BART station. It still bears the former name of Martin Luther King, Jr. Way, the most major of the streets that it borders. On the southern side, the Russell Street Bike Boulevard runs along this park, as well. There are sports areas for baseball/softball, basketball, and tennis, a play area, and a large clubhouse.

Berkeley parks are open from 6am to 10pm. Please represent responsible Geocaching, and respect the rules of the park.

The cache itself is a camo-taped small lidware container, 4" x 3" x 2.5". Small trade items only. Please make sure to put the lid back on securely! Thanx. You'll also want to be pretty stealthy about retrieving and replacing this container; the difficulty rating is mostly muggle-related.

You may find parking for some of this series to be somewhat challenging. I encourage you to find out how bikeable/walkable/transit-able (most of) Berkeley's parks can be. (The ones that are hardest to transit/walk to have the easiest parking; funny how that works out. %-} )

FTF: dgreno! Congratulations!
