Not meaning to be political at all, but man... Stalin must be breakdancing in his grave over this one.

Brutal before and after. Looks like it was ordered from Temu or Wish.com.

Went for a walk tonight.

1. How are more people not out and about on a relatively nice night? Literally 10 people on the entire grounds in a loop.

2. I miss the waterfalls versus this.

3. I have to assume that a phase 2 is coming given where the scope stopped? Seems a little odd that the new surfacing did not continue on the wings or flanks.

4. The remaining mechanical box is one of the least thoughtful or sophisticated solutions I've ever seen. Mural? Screening? Other?

5. I LOVE this little exit.

going out on a limb here and saying that the work isn't finished, they just tidied up at the end of construction season and once it's done it will be wonderous.

From your mouth to god's ears, my friend! I consider this my backyard so here's hoping you're correct!

Too many "critics" on here -- those who like the plan as presented in renderings but can't stand the built product when it is only half-completed have got to learn to wait until the final product is built-out.

I realize it will be different than what was there before, which had some nice aspects and I have a few concerns. However, at this point it is not fully completed so is certainly is fair to say we should wait a bit before judging.

Why aren't picnic tables out?

It's so pretty!

This I absolutely love and there are multiple new additions to discover around the grounds, but it's also sad to see this already damaged.

Water turned on for the fountains yet? Are they officially completed?

 

[IanO]

Nothing yet that i've seen other than a flood test of the main reflecting pool. Guessing this weekend.

So, is it only half-completed? Is there ongoing work now that winter is over? This is a genuine question; I haven't been down there in a while.

The latest I could dig up is that phase 2 is substantially complete, and they're currently working on deficiencies.

'Spray park' fun, but looks half-arsed to be honest and the worst are those concrete things just in front of this... unless you like jersey barriers.
