点评:I live next door to and actually inside Baggeridge. When I first moved here 3.5 years ago, it was a seemingly well maintained area. Unfortunately, with the bad weather we had in the past two years particularly, and I can only imagine budget cuts, the park is now falling heavily into disrepair with broken off branches and overturned trees everywhere you go. No clearance is undertaken and in some areas it is becoming hazardous to walk even. Overturned trees being left in many areas, including in the large ponds, stopping the water from flowing freely.
It breaks my heart personally as it is the perfect spot for families and dog walkers, solo visitors to come to.
The café also has room for improvement, with pricey coffees which are small and no real offerings, apart from the standard faire. This is surprising as it is busy during the clearer months whenever I walk past. A lot more could be done to increase business and food offerings, including proper lunches, variety of cakes potentially?
With nature in decline in the area as it is, many people no longer having gardens, this country park needs to be protected at all costs! Regeneration of trees and plants for pollinators should be established to keep this park alive and well. There is an abundance of wildlife living in the area, which we cannot afford to lose!
With school classes visiting almost every week, it is the perfect place to teach children about nature and its huge importance! But for that, the park needs to be maintained properly and appropriately. It is sadly such a mess now and no longer what it used to be.
翻译:我住在巴格里奇公园隔壁,实际上就在公园里面。三年半前我刚搬来的时候,这里看起来维护得很好。可惜的是,尤其是过去两年恶劣的天气,加上预算削减,公园现在破败不堪,到处都是断枝和倒伏的树木。没有人清理,有些地方甚至连走路都变得危险。很多地方,包括大池塘里,都留着倒伏的树木,阻碍了水流。
这让我非常难过,因为这里是家庭、遛狗者和独自游客的理想去处。
咖啡馆也有改进的空间,咖啡价格昂贵,分量却很少,除了常见的几种饮品外,几乎没有其他选择。这很奇怪,因为天气好的时候,我每次路过那里都看到生意兴隆。咖啡馆可以做很多事情来增加客流量和食物种类,比如提供像样的午餐,或者增加一些蛋糕之类的。
鉴于该地区自然环境日渐衰败,许多人甚至不再拥有花园,这座郊野公园必须不惜一切代价加以保护!应恢复树木和授粉植物的生长,以维持公园的生机勃勃。这里栖息着丰富的野生动物,我们绝不能失去它们!
几乎每周都有学校班级来此参观,这里是向孩子们传授自然知识及其重要性的理想场所!但前提是,公园必须得到妥善维护。令人遗憾的是,它现在一片狼藉,早已不复往日的风采。
