Burns Bog a jewel of nature in my backyard. I've lived next to and walked-in Burns Bog for over 30 years now. It truly is serenity in the city. I have to take a star off my rating, not because of the park, but because of visitors to the nature reserve. When I was a kid, we could spend the entire day in the Bog without seeing another soul, now it is so busy that you will come across at least a dozen people on a short walk; and the sad thing is so many people act like common courtesy, common sense, and the by-laws & regulations don't apply to them; they toss their empty coffee cups wherever they finish drinking them, they tie their poo bags to the branches and plants - or they just leave them on the ground, and they ignore the signs about leashing up their dogs to prevent them from running in the habitation that's under restoration.
