点评:We have been visitors to Locke Park in Redcar for over 70 years and it is disappointing to see it slowly falling into its current state. Muddy footpaths, not helped by Council Transit pickups having trouble manoeuvring around corners, running onto the grass and dragging mud onto the paths. The small team of gardeners are struggling to keep everything in a tidy state. The only toilet block is in disgraceful condition. It looks a health hazard and I would advise folk not to even open the door,
The café is in a poor state of repair. The outside seating area when we visited was dirty, no tables being cleaned and we only got a clean one by asking the staff. The coffee we ordered was like coloured sweet water and we both left it with more than half a cup remaining.
It’s a shame to see how run down the park is now compared to how it used to be.
Visit Ropner Park in Stockton to see how with a little more effort the park could be.
翻译:我们70多年来一直是雷德卡洛克公园的常客,看到它如今这般破败不堪,实在令人失望。泥泞的小路,再加上市政公交车转弯困难,经常冲上草坪,把泥巴拖到小路上,更是雪上加霜。园丁们人手不足,难以维持公园的整洁。唯一的公共厕所状况糟糕透顶,简直令人作呕,存在严重的卫生隐患,我建议大家最好不要进去。
咖啡馆也年久失修。我们去的时候,户外座位区脏兮兮的,桌子都没人打扫,我们只好主动要求工作人员才换了一张干净的桌子。我们点的咖啡就像加了颜色的甜水,我们俩都剩了半杯多。
与公园昔日的辉煌相比,如今的破败景象令人惋惜。
不妨去斯托克顿的罗普纳公园看看,只要稍加修缮,它就能焕然一新。
