Imagine what this view will look like in a year or two. The plants have decent irrigation, so they should flourish. If you cast your mind back to our recent Old Town blog, the trees shown there were tiny saplings a few years ago. If that is replicated here the view will no doubt be a lot different.

So don't you dare moan about the lack of shade.

Once I had finished at Paps I drove up the road until I was diverted to the left. Once on that road, if you take a left you end up in a cul-de-sac which has some more views of the park. Here we are at the other end of the carpark we saw at the start.

From this angle you can see the children's adventure playground they have built. There is a concrete barrier to the left of me, so I will climb up that and see if I can get a better shot.

This is the area between Paps and the Cul-De-Sac. Is it going to be more car park, or will it serve another purpose? If there is an exit from Paps in this direction it will be quite handy, especially with the ongoing roadworks on Ellados Avenue.

The playground looks like it will be a lot of fun for kids. And there are trees providing plenty of shade.

So, how much longer will it be before the park opens? Not long, I think. Let's face it, what else is there to do? Once the vegetation has established itself, I think it will look really lovely, and be a great place to sit back and relax.
