    Notes This site is in great need of a 'friends of' group. Appears to have been almost no maintenance since major upgrades several years ago. Paths are overgrown, all bridges and walkways have collapsed, signboards are damaged and many benches are inaccessible. Very little open water remains with most of the pan now covered in dense beds of mixed Phragmites reeds and Typha bulrushes. Open water only visible along channel kept open by neighbour and from top of catchment.
