The person I had renting it has just changed employment so it is up for grabs. The park would be perfect for a professional working in town, it is outside my house in a secure gated community just off Victoria Street and $30 per week. Much cheaper than renting a park from the likes of Wilson’s or more convenient than having to hunt down a park each morning!! DM if interested :)
