Call before going- Visit to Ringwood Manor Estate & New Jersey Botanical Gardens
Skylands New Jersey Botanical Gardens的点评
点评：My family and I visited Ringwood State Park yesterday to see the Ringwood Manor estate and the New Jersey Botanical Gardens. We were excited to explore because we’d never been before and had driven a couple hours to get there.
When we arrived, there was no sign at the park entrance or in Lot A indicating that the manor area was closed for a private event. After walking to the front of the estate, we saw only a small notice near the front estate driveway saying visitors couldn’t go past a certain point, so we walked quietly around the side lawn along with other guests just to admire the architecture and landscaping from a distance.
A woman came out from inside the house and told us (and another couple) that we had to leave the entire lawn because of a wedding. She did so politely, but this was confusing because there was no visible evidence of an event taking place; no wedding party, no setup, no tables, tents, or decorations anywhere on the lawn or near the house. The grounds were open and quiet, and the only indication of an event was that single small sign by the front driveway. If the estate or back lawn is ever reserved for private functions, clear advance signage or roped areas at the parking lot and other walkways would be appreciated, prevent misunderstandings and spare visitors a wasted trip.
I also wanted to mention that the gardens themselves appeared significantly less maintained than expected from the official photos, beds were overgrown, some areas looked neglected, and a statue called Swan Boy was broken and left in place. I understand autumn brings seasonal die-back, but the overall impression was of an area needing care and upkeep.
Ringwood Manor is a beautiful historic site, and I’m sharing this feedback so the public and event guests can both enjoy it without confusion.

翻译：昨天，我和家人参观了林伍德州立公园，参观了林伍德庄园和新泽西植物园。我们非常兴奋，因为我们之前从未来过，而且开了几个小时的车才到。
我们到达时，公园入口和A区都没有任何标志表明庄园区域因私人活动而关闭。走到庄园门口后，我们只看到庄园前车道附近有一小块告示，上面写着游客不能越过某个区域，于是我们和其他客人一起静静地绕着草坪走，远远地欣赏着周围的建筑和景观。
一位女士从屋里出来，告诉我们（还有另一对夫妇），因为要举行婚礼，我们必须离开整个草坪。她礼貌地照做了，但这让人感到困惑，因为草坪上和房子附近都没有任何明显的活动迹象；没有婚礼派对，没有布置，没有桌子、帐篷或任何装饰品。场地空旷而安静，唯一能表明有活动的迹象就是前车道旁那块小小的标志。如果庄园或后院草坪被预留用于私人活动，最好提前在停车场和其他人行道设置清晰的标识或用绳索围起来的区域，以免造成误解，也避免游客白跑一趟。
我还想提一下，花园本身的维护情况比官方照片上预期的要差得多，花坛里杂草丛生，有些地方看起来无人照管，一座名为“天鹅男孩”的雕像被损坏后就被遗弃在原地。我知道秋天会带来季节性的枯萎病，但总体来说，这是一个需要精心照料和维护的区域。
林伍德庄园是一个美丽的历史遗迹，我分享这些反馈是为了让公众和活动嘉宾都能安心欣赏。
