The area is shaded by pine trees planted by the Tognela family in the 1930s, with a commemorative plaque detailing their history.

Back in the parking area, there are a number of beautiful artworks, depicting local wildlife and historical scenes.

The pine trees, that provide shade, were planted by John Tognela and his family who settled in the area in the 1930s after migrating from Italy. There is a plaque on the eastern side of the parking area, providing more information about the family and their story.
