Lovely park, beautiful scenery, park needs more care and river needs time to heal.
Hunter Springs Park的点评
点评：This little park has great potential, however, the water quality has become so poor that the only visibility is directly over the spring itself. It’s very sad to see how murky this tidal River/spring has become.
The boat traffic that passes the swimming area is constant. Private Charters and Manatee tour boats seem to make up the bulk of the traffic.
No doubt, the rainwater runoff from all the homes, lawns, driveways and roads around it contribute to the pollution that is killing this river. I would imagine that all the flooding from last year, likely added to the water quality problems as the water receded back into the river, taking pollutants from homes, roads and yards with it.
We go there often, and it is becoming more and more common to see trash in the sand and in the water. One morning we even found a dirty diaper left in the sand. Very sad. Some people just leave their trash behind! Possibly because the trash cans are frequently overflowing?
The park also has rules that people ignore, such as no smoking, pets, or loud music.
The bathrooms are pretty rough looking and there are often unsupervised kids running around.
On our last visit, a few days ago, there was a young teenager smashing rocks on the sea wall and throwing rocks into the water, in the swimming area. Later, he was seen hanging, like a monkey, from the flag holder on one of the light poles. Everyone was surprised it didn’t break!
Not trying to discourage anyone from visiting, because it is a pretty park, but I think it’s fair to give an accurate review.
Once in a while there are manatees swimming through the area, and that can be fun, but the water is so murky that they can pass by you within just a few feet and you would never know they were there.
A couple weeks ago I watched a boatload of tourists corner a manatee against the dock area, across from the swimming area, and watch it for probably 10 minutes. The guide should have had the people back off but she didn’t. I felt bad for the manatee, who had nowhere to turn, to avoid the crowd.
I feel like there should be some changes made to save this river and better protect the manatees.
Until the water quality recovers, I wouldn’t pay a dollar to go swimming with manatees in this area, as most of the time, you can barely see them in the gloom. 😔

翻译：这个小公园潜力巨大，然而，水质已经变得如此糟糕，以至于只能直接看到泉水本身。看到这条潮汐河/泉水变得如此浑浊，真是令人难过。
经过游泳区的船只交通不断。私人包船和海牛游船似乎构成了交通的主要部分。
毫无疑问，周围所有房屋、草坪、车道和道路的雨水径流加剧了这条河的污染。我可以想象，去年的所有洪水很可能加剧了水质问题，因为水退回河中，带走了房屋、道路和院子里的污染物。
我们经常去那里，在沙滩和水中看到垃圾变得越来越常见。一天早上，我们甚至在沙滩上发现了一条脏尿布。真伤心。有些人只是把垃圾扔在后面！可能是因为垃圾桶经常溢出？
公园里还有一些人们忽视的规则，例如禁止吸烟、禁止携带宠物或播放嘈杂的音乐。
浴室看起来很简陋，经常有无人看管的孩子到处乱跑。
几天前我们上次去的时候，在游泳区，有一个十几岁的少年在海堤上砸石头，并把石头扔进水里。后来，有人看到他像猴子一样挂在一根灯杆上的旗杆上。每个人都很惊讶旗杆没有断！
并不是想阻止任何人来参观，因为这是一个漂亮的公园，但我认为给出准确的评价是公平的。
偶尔会有海牛游过这个区域，这很有趣，但水太浑浊了，它们可以在几英尺内从你身边经过，你永远不会知道它们在那里。
几周前，我看到一船游客把一头海牛逼到码头区，就在游泳区对面，我看了大概 10 分钟。导游本应让人们退开，但她没有。我为那只无处可去躲避人群的海牛感到难过。
我觉得应该做出一些改变来拯救这条河，更好地保护海牛。
在水质恢复之前，我不会花一分钱去这个地区和海牛一起游泳，因为大多数时候，在黑暗中你几乎看不到它们。😔
