Description
The Deep Cove has several areas of woodland linked by streets. The woodland can be thick but there are networks of trails. The courses will go through Panorama Park which can be busy on a nice evening so please be careful. The map has also been recently updated by Andrea Balakova to show changes in vegetation and some new features at the northern end of Panorama Park.
