Filler Content: Glendenning

Since you're reading this, perhaps my last post didn't excite you because your name isn't Dean. Perhaps your name is Glen, is there a suburb for you?

Glendenning

Sitting immediately to the south of Dean Park, Glendenning is another entirely unknown piece of Western Sydney.

Again, I drove here, pulling over at an enticing point right at the suburb's northeastern border.

Sitting behind the houses of residential Glendenning is the northernmost point of the huge piece of parkland covering many hectares of Western Sydney - the Western Sydney Parklands.

I started on a walking path to see if the Glendenning piece of the park had anything worth writing about

and despite the close proximity to suburbia,

I was very pleasantly surprised.

I found a place with flat land, tall grass, not-thick trees, and powerlines, all of which came together to make me feel very small - in a calming way. I've never been to an African savanna, and yet I somehow got savanna vibes from this place. Maybe if we write a few emails the council might import some giraffes to hang out here.

The path I took looped me around, taking me by a slightly more developed outdoor recreation area,

whereby a took an alleyway back into suburbia.

This bit of suburban Glendenning looks pretty much like every relatively-modern-but-not-too-modern suburb in Sydney's west, with plenty of clean brick and double car garages.
