your package looks like this.

START.

Instructions begin from the Murray St. Entrance. Stand with your back to the street, facing the park. There will be a 3-way forked path. Take the left fork (towards the courts, away from the playground). >>

SECOND.

There will be several trees as you walk up the path. This is the tree you want. It is at a diagonal from a lamppost. Standing directly in front of the large knot, your package is buried slightly around the tree, to the right.

Here is a closeup of the base, with the area of the buried package clearly marked. The umbrella will be gone by now.

the box was right where Eglantine said it would be. i felt very illicit digging in a public park in full view of people and their dogs, but no one raised a fuss.
