Things to note:
- Access around the site is via a smooth, unbroken concrete pathway with sloping walkways and stairs to access differing levels.
- Seating is plentiful and well incorporated into the park structures, including plenty of grassy mounds to sit and watch the world go by or have a picnic on.
- Shading is provided to some walkways, one of the gardens and the play area, and newly planted trees will provide ample shade once they have grown. A number of grass-roofed buildings provide air-conditioned seating, but it isn’t clear whether these will be for events, for hire or for general public use.
- Lighting around the site is plentiful, so evening playdates, strolls or a game of football to burn off some steam are easy to do.
- Bins, including receptacles for recycling waste (metal, paper, plastics and glass), are stationed all around the park.
