It is hard to believe that if you stood in the same place 15 years ago you would be looking cross a pond. Sometime around 1990, The Old Yachting Pond was enlarged and planted with a variety of wetland species and a boardwalk was added around the edge. Towards the end of the dry spell in summer 2010, there was no sign of any water and only a few wetland plants, the boardwalk, and notices referring to the wetland species present indicated that this was once a pond. The houses beyond are in Elmbourne Road.
