Beautiful, peaceful corner of the neighbourhood with a view of the sea.. Decorated with a koi pond and elegant landscaping. Offered a nice shaded corner, with benches for seating dotted around the garden. 1 lady was sunbathing and 2 elderly gentlemen were taking a breather there when I arrived. A water fountain also provided some relief for another passerby on this hot day, as others stopped when they passed through to stop and take photos.. Perfect spot to take some solace in within the area~

Such a beautiful spot to take in the harbour view or some quiet time to contemplate. The stone bridge over the carp pond is idyllic. Lots of private spaces on the layers of the reserve. Enjoy.

One of the best parks I’ve ever been to, well maintained with an amazing view of the harbour. There is a nice river with koi fish and tadpoles. It’s a quiet park and is very peaceful with a bunch of seats.

We know this green space as fish park, for obvious (see the piccies) reasons, it seems to be a well hidden secret cause during the many times we visit there is hardly anyone there, there is plenty of seating or an area for picnic blankey, has excellent views of the harbour as well.
