    Photography Notes

    Tree-lined walkways and open lawns create repeating patterns and natural framing. Seasonal foliage introduces colour and texture, while gently sloping ground allows layered compositions. The park’s proximity to historic structures and waterfront areas enables contrast between greenery and the surrounding urban environment under varied light conditions.
