Not only is there a giant sculpture of a hand coming out of the ground, but there's also a café (run by a charitable organization called Rumbles), bike racks and kids playground. Win-win.

good starting point for walks and bike rides, can easily get into sherwood pines from here and all surrounding routes, a very nice area and seems popular for fishing
