Open space in a park does not mean it's under-used. Are you suggesting the Rye is under utilised? Fill in the space with clutter and you close out the mental recreation the space provides the many people who walk through, and linger in WGardens. WG is an oasis of calm, with, yes, a fantastic vista sweeping down to Lyndhurst Way that was once going to be turned into a marshalling yard for the Channel Tunnel Rail Link which was so valiantly fought against by the local residents. Let's keep WG as a space that can benefit and serve as wide a range and number of users as possible, rather than pandering to the exclusive interest of one group (ie people who want to give their young charges a distraction while they natter with their friends). It is not as if there are not already playground facilities in the neighbourhood -- try Lucas Gardens.
