"It is aptly named. Walk in this lovely corner of Adelaide CBD and you're greeted by a beautiful collection of our green brothers. Trees!
Never forget that they have seen many humans come and rest under their shades from any walk of life."
Navid Hazrati
"This park is not too bad. Atmosphere is chill. A nice little park in the heart of the city, good for a little relax. No bbq water fountain or restroom unfortunately bit a good little park for the center of the city. I would highly recommend checking this place out."
Cain Deleeuw
"Could do with some more plants/trees. Or even some more art pieces. Doesn’t live up to the name “forest of dreams”… it’s giving “square of reluctance”…"
