Not alot, but I wouldnt mind more trees, a bbq area etc. An open grassland area is just plain blah.

When I moved to the city 25 years ago, it really was just an expansive grassland, with some random cow trails., essentially in its natural state.
I loved it.
No pavement. No shaled trails. Pretty much nothing but you and grassland.
Wonderful mountain biking. Wonderful cross-country running. Wonderful for walking the dog.
I spent many, many hours up there, winter or summer, when I lived in the area.
I get it that the place is now surrounded on all sides by houses - it certainly wasn't back then - so there are a lot more people using it now, but, at the risk of favouring nostalgia, it was a much better place back then.
Paving it more and adding ferris wheels isn't an improvement.
