One reviewer says it is small, opens onto two private properties, and may suit residents better than the wider public.
A small neighbourhood reserve with homes on its edges is judged on access, seating and how well it serves all users. Reserves that open directly onto houses can feel private, so visitors may want to check the access points and signs first. Small reserves often have limited facilities, so it helps to plan water and shade for a longer stay. Regulars usually visit quietly and keep the space tidy for neighbours.
