A record of field trips and other explorations of a particular urban design element - the internal reserve - a 'pocket park' surrounded on all sides by residential housing but accessible by pedestrian pathways from the street. They are exclusive, secluded, sometimes neglected, sometimes celebrated, suburban spaces. This blog welcomes contributions: comments, images, memorabilia. Please email nicholsd@unimelb.edu.au

Sale, Victoria
In what seems to be an increasingly common mantra on this site, I have to confess I 'don't know much about these internal reserves'. The surrounding area seems to date from the 1980s; the eastern of the two spaces includes a Masonic hall. Visited Saturday morning, 29 September 2012.
