Paddington, Reservoir Gardens

One of the entrances to the Paddington Reservoir Gardens, in the inner city suburb of Paddington. This former underground reservoir was renovated in 2009 to create an urban sanctuary with lawns, flower beds, shaded seating and a fish pond.

  2. Very interesting. Not very welcoming entrance, but I guess that was the plan when it was a reservoir? The idea of the lawns, flower beds, shaded seating, and fish pond sounds quite beautiful, though.

    1. I think they're intended to be more decorative than functional.

  4. They seem to have it well protected with so many fences. Interesting sight.
