P9
Provide and enhance areas for the reflective, restful and passive leisure elements of public parks and open spaces in Rosslyn throughout the streetscape and path network, and strategically in new or existing open spaces such as the Esplanade, 18th Street Corridor, Freedom Park, and Dark Star Park.
