A shared cycle and pedestrian track with a white line separating the two sides. On the left is a metal fence, the right is lined with a wire mesh fence behind which is extensive vegetation. Leaf mulch and vegetation encroach on the path wodth from both sides. A cycle and trailer load of shopping are parked on the cycle side. Behind them is a blue tangle of metal resemblin a child's climbing frame and activity gym. There is a narrow gap between this and the fence.
