Geocache Description:

A Monumental Task in City Park

The multi-cache is made up of 10 reference points and 1 final all an easy walk within City Park in downtown Kingston. The 10 reference points will take you on a perimeter walk of the park. While at each stop you'll be called on to collect one piece of information from the monuments and plaques found along the way. The redirects can be done in any order but for simplicity they've been listed in a clockwise rotation around the park. The cache is located within walking distance of the park.

The final is a small Lock & Lock that is easily accessible.

At the 10 reference points using the information below you'll generate the final coordinates.
