This is a very basic park. This two swings for kids. The view is nice. Dogs run around doing their business. The council mow and maintain the park well.

Local park with shade and swings. Seat at the bus stop.

Small long park, with a couple of swings. Good for church hosts next door. Peaceful because there's really nothing to do here and no one really comes here. There is a fence over the big drop

It's a small park, nothing special about really.
