I visited this space in October 2001. Like the Epalock reserve mentioned below, it is only arguably a true internal reserve space. It is a 1920s design that appears to have come together to either retain or avoid (or both) a small tributary, surrounded by land that presumably could not be built on. At a certain point, a small road was built through the reserve, as seen here (the google map rather deceptively overlays a rigidly straight road through the reserve). There is, therefore, vehicular access to the rear of properties, and the space lacks cohesiveness: it is divided instead into a patchwork of smaller rear spaces.
At the time of my visit there was someone living in the reserve. I did not photograph evidence of this out of respect for their privacy. It appeared this was not a child camping out but a homeless adult.
