A very brief visit to the Adelaide Avenue
reserve in Albion, also seen here. This was primarily undertaken as an offshoot
excursion while viewing a rental property at the entryway to the reserve. There
long enough to merely establish (1) the reserve is kempt, with few features (2)
at least one resident adjoining it feels confident in growing his/her
vegetables – nice looking capsicums, pomegranates – without fear of theft (3)
cat house still full of cats.
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
