Miranda Place Playground, Melba, A.C.T.

This is a beautiful, very hidden reserve on a slope with some play equipment (see it on google maps here). Not much more to say but without wishing to sound awfully twee, the awfully twee review on the google maps page for this park that suggests its 'trees and bushy gardens' make it feel 'like it has fairies hiding nearby' has got it pretty right. 

Above - the entrance from Wallace Place. A classic internal reserve entryway, you don't really know (unless you have a map/local knowledge) what you are walking into, until you do it.

Melba, the suburb, dates from 1972; it's technically part of Belconnen. 

L. Sonck, unrealised plan for Töölöö, Helsinki, 1898

This reproduction of Lars Sonck's second prize-winning entry for Töölöö appears on page 373 of Helen Porfyriou's 1990 thesis Scandinavian town planning from 1900 to 1930 and the contribution of Camillo Sitte. A less clear representation of the same plan which however covers more of its area appears on p. 130 of Lars Sonck: 1870-1956, architect published by the Museum of Finnish Architecture possibly in 1982 (the layout is very complicated). This is the part of the plan I'm interested in of course:

I gather Sonck was somewhat beholden to the ideas of Camillo Sitte, at least for a while, and he justified his plan on that basis. These two blocks clearly contain something within them, the left block probably has a church or some kind of statue, the right one seems to be just a dog-leg pathway with perhaps what was later called by Patrick Geddes a 'street room'. You'll see in the first picture there is something similar to the south of the left block.
