Unnamed Reserve, Phillip, ACT

The reserve featured here is close to Swinger Hill (signposted above)in the Australian Capital Territory, or perhaps is in it (the boundaries of Swinger Hill are somewhat difficult to define; some locals suggest it is a geographical feature, rather than a suburb). More information on the origins of Swinger Hill here, and some parodic yet insightful information here.

Once again, I am presenting a space which is only arguably 'internal', as it does feature around 60 m of street frontage in addition to the two pathway entrances. That said, it is a most interesting space as it (1) features a childcare centre (and a playground), thus ascribing the space a particular use and (2) as you can see from the google map here, it is at the centre of a walkway network; see also in the pictures below the distinctive white bollards which indicate to drivers the presence of a walkway crossing streets.
