Nice big open space. You can observe the "rozzers" doing DUI stops on SH53 from the other side of the park (at night) on a public holiday long weekend without being observed and questioned by a junior female constable practicing her mind game techniques on the public. /s

Watched my nephew play for the Clive Colts against NOBM. Really good game from bot teams, Clive played really well against a strong NOBM forwards team.
