Albert Park
The park used to offer activities for all age groups, making it a happy place for my kids and me, but now it lacks options for older children, leaving them at risk of getting into trouble.

Buile Hill Park
This was a park we frequently went to for walks during the COVID days. It had a nice vegetable gardening patch as well. It had some very nice paths and was a good place for connecting to nature.

Regent Retail Park
This retail park is vital for affordable shopping and food access, especially for carless residents, the elderly, and young mothers, and the proposed high-rise development feels unjust as local consultation results were ignored, leaving the Ordsall community frustrated and overlooked.
