Imperceptible falls must cause all the rainfall to gather here. During my visit the ground seemed rather soggy, perhaps due to the level terrain and a rather impermeable soil. The trees may have been pushed over by vandals; soft ground will have made the job easier. Putting in drainage at this stage, or even changing the levels locally, would be disruptive but could have benefits for users of this fine new park.
