    Found it while walking on the nature path behind it. Never known about this place but I was intrigued and walked up - to my surprise, it was an outstanding view of this part of the city and the mountains in the far! Was quite littered though so I wouldn't recommend for small children but for older kids who can appreciate the view, it's great.

    A fun short walk, they should add some park benches around here for picnics. I suggest going on a clear day but in the fog is good too

    Some fly tipping around the hill and muddy paths in between on ground level .. beautiful view over the surrounding roofs including the span of Erskine bridge.

    What a jewel in the concrete jungle! Been cycling around for ages and never realised that such a fantastic view is just a stone throw away. Recommend to anyone who is about for a walk or cycling around to have a break there, outstanding!

    This is some kind of urban artwork, I don't know the who or the why, I could find out a little on the Internet but it's not clear I suppose it will all come out in the wash. Anyway it's a quirky piece of artwork, with a spiral hill leading to the flagpole, which does not appear to be a real flagpole and some what looks like bunkers at the corners. Personally I like this sort of outdoor art but I suppose it's not for everyone.
