That is indeed the case.

It is, sortof. The maps / signs around the estate do include the nursery 
and grassy area. And the address of the nursery also includes "Queen's 
Park Court":

Funnily, Google Maps gets both the location and the Street Names wrong 
in the area (the estate is on Ilbert Street, and not Droop Street).

There are more estates in the area, but I have not mapped them yet as 
such. For example:
