a year agoSuch a beautiful bit of public space in an area with too few of them. There are opportunities to garden and contribute to the community garden, a nice bit of bush with a stream to walk along, and a general atmosphere that is welcoming, full of birdsong and also being tranquil. It's not hard to find, so I'm not sure why people struggle to find it.
