Enough is Entirely Enough! No to destroying healthy trees and replacing with cement and admission cost.

Oh no, I literally gasped when I saw this. VOC is a beautiful place that's fantastic for birding. Every time I share a photo of it everyone says how fantastic and pretty it looks and wants to know where it is. What a shame that they want to ruin it. Please let it stay a haven for birds and other wildlife.

The Vale of Cashmere needs to be restored to it's former beauty. Building a bathroom and more play spaces for the children in this area is ridiculous. There are plenty of other areas you could use for that. Like the Long Meadow just inside Endale arch. The Vale of Cashmere is an important stop for migratory and nesting birds that needs to be preserved. It is also a place for quiet meditation. A bit of a sanctuary to many of us. Please, please, please reconsider this ghastly reimagining of this space.

The Vale is an oasis and vital to hundreds of birds that stop there during migration. This development will bring noise, garbage and crowds to the area. Can’t the Alliance use funds to maintain the rustic trails and meadows it installed instead of bringing disturbance?

This space needs to be preserved for the birds that rely on it during migration. It will further endanger birds of the current plan comes to fruition.

It’s a very birdy areas so why do you need to disturb the habitat with food sources for the wild? It’s definitely going to ruin it!

There are many other places to build a bathroom in the park, don't destroy our beautiful Vale!

The "natural" playground has been a disaster for the ecosystem. What used to be a lush are is now all dead with compacted earth. Now another "natural play area is proposed for the rose garden. It will destroy the surrounding area.

Keep the area for the birds and animals. Fences protect the plants from all the little feet that think they can go anywhere for the sake of play.
