The local council and residents have done a wonderful job fixing up this once severely vandalised reserve.  New picnic tables, fencing, bbq's and mass tree planting have been undertaken of recent times. Hopefully people will start to respect this historic area and leave it as they find it so it can once again be an area that people can enjoy for a variety of recreational and nature activities.
