Looking across the cycle track of [[635957]], with Maxwell Road behind. The path in the foreground is not actually the cycle track but a footpath above; the track is at the foot of a steep slope immediately beyond.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The playing field of Winton Rec used to be flat, with a stone wall on its south and eastern faces and steps up to the footpaths around it. It was re-landscaped in the late 1990s and the walls removed. As can be seen here, it is no longer completely flat – Heroon Court Road beyond meanders downhill from left to right – but it is still a popular place for a kickabout.
