Geocache Description:

A lovely spot in the heart of Napier forshore.

Formed in the 1960s, the Sunken Garden has been described as the parade's 'hidden treasure' because, sited below road level, it offers a sense of serenity and separation from its urban surrounds.

The garden has developed a higher profile since mid-2001 when it was upgraded as part of a Napier City Council revitalisation project aimed at providing better links for Marine Parade attractions.

The revamp made the strip reserve more visible and accessible while preserving its informal and intimate character.

Flights of steps were formed between pohutakawa trees flanking the streetside footpath to lead down into the garden. The pond was made more visible to pedestrians, and that has enhanced its value as a focal point in this passive reserve.

Look out for Muggles this is the Fifth Cache I have placed in this garden.
