Been to the park a few times the past week. There is water back in the lake but its very cloudy, like a brown sandy colour which i assume is going to clear at some point. As has been for the best part of a year now there are loads of various bits of shit dumped all around the park, signs, barriers, large pipes, piles of "green rubbish"(tree cuttings, mud etc)
There were a few ducks about and geese today and there were a lot of squirrels too which is nice to see.
Was talking to a man there and he was telling me there used to be terrapins in the main lake and they used to bask on those metal rod things towards the far end of the lake. Apparently they are gone now and he was pretty upset.
Most of the islands and stuff have been decimated, but look at least like they are being rebuilt to some extent.
To sum up, the park is a total mess still and theres loads of places still seem barrier ed off to public. The cafe is still disgusting and I'm hoping that is next on the list for redoing.
