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.

a year agoHidden gem and connects through to the sports grounds on one end, and Kaikorai garden on the other (eventually through to Nairn Park). Very flat and shaded, cool during summer.
