A very well hidden children’s play area. This site is reached via Renshaw Gardens and then a footpath to the left of Thompson Place. As well as the usual kinds of children’s play equipment this site also features a basketball practice area and a small hillock which gives excellent views of the local railway lines and all the accompanying flowers. If you are lucky it is possible to see deer feeding beside the railway tracks.
