A curious and unusual open space which seems to owe something to a tentative step towards a new urbanist-inspired notion of community open space.

They are exclusive, secluded, sometimes neglected, sometimes celebrated, suburban spaces. This blog welcomes contributions: comments, images, memorabilia. Please email nicholsd@unimelb.edu.au
