点评:I’ve been visiting Gregory Lake since my childhood — for over 22 years — and it’s a place that holds many cherished memories. The landscaping is lovely, the cool climate is refreshing, and it’s still a wonderful spot to visit with family. The lake area itself is scenic and peaceful, especially for walks, picnics, or simply enjoying the view.
However, I was disappointed during my recent visit to see that the bicycle track area on the opposite side of the lake is not well maintained. There was a lot of garbage pulled out from the lake, and the smell was quite unpleasant. Even worse, the path was littered with poop from ponies and horses, making it difficult — and unsafe — for children to play or ride in that area.
It’s sad to see such a beautiful and historic place neglected in parts. With a bit more attention to cleanliness and maintenance, Gregory Lake could easily be one of the top attractions in Nuwara Eliya again. I truly hope the authorities take action soon.

然而,最近一次去那里时,我感到很失望,因为湖对面的自行车道维护得不太好。湖里有很多垃圾被清理出来,散发着难闻的气味。更糟糕的是,小路上到处都是小马和马的粪便,孩子们在那里玩耍或骑行既困难又不安全。
看到如此美丽而历史悠久的地方部分地区被忽视,真是令人难过。如果格雷戈里湖能多加注意清洁和维护,它很容易再次成为努沃勒埃利耶的热门景点之一。我真心希望当局能尽快采取行动。
