You get there quite not knowing what you'll find, but hoping for gold. Neah, just a small playground and an big turf. The playground is actually good enough for kids to play, with variety of equipment, open space, and newly laid wood chippings. But that's pretty much it. And when the place is quiet, it seems far too quiet, unfortunately.
