Notes

While I was at the location, I noticed a strong odour either of a chemical or petroleum that would come and go intermittently. The smell would last for couple of minutes, then disappear, and return shortly after. This pattern kept happening the entire time I was there. Park/Recreation in the immediate surroundings.
