Points of Interest
1. Playground and soccer field
The soccer field was kept green and was cut at a good level, and the playground was small but was in good condition. Park good for locals near by ans was dog friendly.
2. Soccer field and street lights
4 lights were found at each end of the soccer field. These lights help light up the area at night when most needed.
3. Dog poo and litter
Dog poo and litter was found on both soccer field and playground. This was not very appealing for the public. if litter continues, more problems will occur.

Pedestrian rails are used as reflectors for cars at so they where they are at night. Pedestrian rails normally placed at the end of a footpath.

This is particularly good for locals because they can send there mail and not have to go to a post office that's not near by.
