There is a light pole behind the green fence, and 2 gates at the end of the parallel road. There is also a metal fence along the highway side of the property, and 2 gates, near the corner(possibly the exit road?) and the fence goes around the corner too. There is a small low fenced area near the(exit?) gates, possibly what was the playground or screen area?
