The last time I was here there was a row of fig trees, giving protection for birds, a buffer against the traffic from the highway, a screen from the large car park, a shady place to sit, a lush row of trees that was very rich. It was beautiful.

I was horribly shocked as I rode through this area.

It was like a welcome to the car park, and, welcome to highway noise. Actually it was easy to not even notice the car park before.There was no protected place to sit. You could see straight through from the car park, the slot car place, the Jets Club & the highway across the river. There was no feeling of a reserve of a place of natural beauty, or even of animal life.

I do not know what council were thinking of when they did this. But it is an appalling destruction of nature.
