At each end of the pier a grove of trees has been planted, under which bench seating has been placed. The groves are planted at a slightly raised level so as to allow for a suitable depth of topsoil to enable these trees to thrive. Adjacent to the grove of trees, at the shore end, a large canopy has been constructed and provides shelter from sun and rain.
