This is for kids; sure you will see bunches of teenage tweenies and«Emo» youth sitting around inside the beautifully imaginative little park, but clearly it is designed for tots in mind. Little ones who will truly feel excited by the giant blades of grass and the over all bizarre feeling one gets when surrounded by strangeness such as it is. I think it is completely cute to watch kids running around, and even parents playing with their kids in this space. It is one of those places where you can feel the city has done something to assist you with keeping your kids imagination alive while you trudge around the city with them. Nay sayers are likely to give it the thumbs down, but really — it’s a fun grassy knoll for children who need a bit of space.

Just behind Bus Stop G3 on Grenfell Street, lies some interesting urban art structures of a fish carcass, a giant thong, a peg, a leaking tap, and other random objects. The Squlpter has done a fabulous job with this installation, and I have to admit I was indeed a fan(until I discovered it is meant to be a playground). Seriously, What the fuck? There are even signs scattered about stating you must be under 12 to go near the structure. What the hell are young kids doing hanging around the park lands at night anyway? I can see it now — «Hay Mummy, Why do the monkey bars smell like pee?» How do you differentiate the play equipment from other static objects? Do you have to be under twelve to sit on the park benches as well? Functionality and obscurity go together like a shit in the bath tub.
