What people say
I was looking for a spot to lie down to stretch my back, when a local thankfully warned me that this was where all the locals bring their dogs to pee and poop. An otherwise pleasant but very small space. Maybe sit on the bench seat or greet the dogs.
Dog poo park. Surrounded by fur baby owning, unit dwelling, anti dog excrement picking up humans who have chosen to use this possibly pleasant area as their "best friends" toilet. Not pleasant any more.
This is the only park in the surroundings... so most people take their dogs there to poop on the grass - it's very dirty! Also, it has one seat available, so if you wanted to spend some time in there, the chances of needing to sit on the dirty grass are high.
A small inlet of grass on an elevated platform from the street. Not a really relaxing place as there's an incredibly busy road nearby. Also it isn't as accessible as it looks. The lone bench seems pretty clean, but this small patch of grass is probably only good to just walk through.
