Where it sits

Its centre sits about 30 km north-west of the central city, past the suburb outlines this site keeps: a regional reserve.

The monuments on this ground

Memorial and artwork pins that stand inside the park's drawn outline, where the register put them, not a claim about the ground's story.

The tracks through it

Track lines whose drawn course enters the park’s outline, measured against the line itself, not a buffer around it.

The civic shelf inside

Libraries, toilets, courts and the rest whose point falls inside the park’s drawn outline, the ground in use, the way a register pin is the ground remembered.
