After we pass the reserve, housing blocks again take over on our right. Most of these houses are built up on a ridge above flood level, with their long flat backyards on the flood plain.

Eventually, we pass the picnic ground on the other side of the river ...

Once round the bend, we can take a last look back at the picnic ground before the view across the river becomes somewhat less picturesque as we pass Aberfeldie Park: a large, mainly flat, expanse of playing fields.

Soon we reach the open, grassy Coulson Gardens and their colourful playground.
