Overview :: An under rated area situated right between mayors garden and hexagon underground. As the name suggests this is near the magistrates court but also a police station and post office. There is lots to do here before moving onto the other nearby locations.

Conditions :: Mixture of surfaces here, half grass & half man made materials. The grass is predictably slippery when wet, where as the rest varies a fair bit. There is no shelter from the elements here so if it looks like rain, best to make the most of it before heading to the underground.

Plod :: Never had a problem with police or security here despite its close proximity to a police station.

Supplies :: No problem here. The 99p store is directly opposite and if that's not to your taste, broad street mall is located conveniently behind it.

Watch your back :: No problems here during the day, but as with most of reading it probably isn't a place you'd want to stop for too long at night.

Pk heaven :: While there is a fair bit of opportunity here, the highlights have to be the precisions around the court area and the dive kongs by the toilet (Shame it smells like wee). In addition, the various walls and structures in this area are quite well suited to climbing.

Overall :: This is a nice interval between mayors garden and the hexagon underground. Not much run potential here but good practice none the less.
