Unnamed reserve between Copeland and Witako Sts and Hall Crescent, Epuni, New Zealand

The persistence of this stubborn small reserve which continues to exist against all odds is something to admire. It is seemingly no more than a small oblong patch of (mown) grass. All surrounding houses have tiny backyards; some have chosen to make all or a part of their fencing wire, to give a sense of space, and to reveal to the world (or at least that minor fraction of it which cares to look) the tininess of their yards.

North-western fence with inexplicable hole revealing piece of pipe, and double door gate (large enough to permit vehicle access, but a vehicle could not come into the reserve itself from the street entryways).

This is the reserve across the road, which looks on the google map to be another internal reserve and probably was one at some stage. Now a large part of it is a driveway to two facilities:

 This very attractive brick house retains its gate entry into the space.
