Amenities
This small arcade has plenty of greenery and benches. The trees and bushes are actually very pleasant, the benches not quite. There are metal bars in the middle to prevent sleeping, many are covered in pigeon poop and unsanitary, and they may turn people away from sitting there.

Access
The arcade is relatively easy to access since it is out in the open. However, it is somewhat hidden behind a residential complex so it may be hard to find. The signs indicating it is a public space are easy to find, though.

Final Thoughts
With cleaner benches, this would be a great space. Maybe a few tables as well, but that is up to the building management. I did not see anyone using this area, except this fellow.
