To the park’s south and eastern edges a low stone edge has been installed. This element continues the radial theme of the footpath and performs the function of a retaining structure and an informal seating edge.

Groups of trees are also located within the resin bonded areas outside of the parks boundary. The tree planting pits are topped with self binding gravel to allow moisture and water to gain access to the tree roots.
