This is little park is on the Battery Point Sculpture Trail. Check out the floating number sculpture nearby.
It is a surprisingly high muggle locatoin, given that it is off the through roads. There are kids (at the swings), people fishing, tourists and locals walking their dogs.
The Reserve is named for two ship builders, Tom Purdon and Henry Featherstone and the number '313' refers to the number of ships built here over the years.
Here is the text from the Hobart City Council's web page on the sculpture at this location:
Afloat in the Derwent, like the 313 vessels launched from Battery Point slipyards through the 1800s, this sculpture is constructed from some of the most commonly-used materials of modern-day shipbuilding – aluminium and fibreglass.
Securely anchored, but rising and falling with the tide, the sculpted number is just one craft among the flotilla of working barges, fishing boats, bluewater racers and cruising yachts that anchor off Battery Point.
Beyond the sheltered shore is the widening expanse of the estuary, where the searoads that lead out to the world begin.
