 The area suffered decline by vandalism through the 1990s, however the area was heavily regenerated in the early 2000s, including the cleaning of both lakes, resurfacing of paths, erection of new signs and benches and the creation of a private fishing club.The northern lake was re-themed from a boating lake to a nature reserve, introducing several plant, bird and fish species to the area.In 2006, the original playground was demolished and replaced with a more modern facility, however the former public toilets have remained out of use.
