					<description><![CDATA[I cannot remember Hagley Park ever looking so wet . But let&#039;s not forget that prior to this year the largest annual rainfall for Christchurch since 1980 was in 1986 with 832mm . According to Metservice our rainfall for the first 6 months of this year was 455 mm . Even so, just a minute fraction of the roading budget needs to be trimmed to deal with this in the near future otherwise the money spent on cycleways will not realise full potential.  This maintenance should not be coming from Parks budget in my opinion , it is a transport issue.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The paths in Hagley park have been a lot more prone to flooding since the quakes. Actually seems like a lot of open ground in Chch doesn&#039;t soak away the same as it did. Liquifacation has blocked the soakage ability of the upper layer? I don&#039;t know however suspect it&#039;s not as a simple as add a bit of drainage channel or pipes into soakage pits. We may need to put up with it for a long time to come.

Although the pictured flooding between Lake Victoria and the little pond might be quick fix as has only been since they re-lined &#038; refilled the lake. No flooding pre quakes &#038; when the lake was first damaged then drained there was no flooding across the path. Same for the first 12mths after the fix but since then regular flooding. Often you can see water pouring into the small pond via a pipe (pumped ?), overfilling the pond then going across the path to the main lake. Easy fix if the control valve is closed or controlled better in wet weather ? Riding the alternative route through the carpark road on other side of the lake is quite hazardous as there major potholes through there &#038; a lot of loose gravel on the broken sealed surface. Bright lights (annoyingly bright?) are needed to ride through there safely.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I agree it is offputting, you need to be prepared to change when you get to work or wear grey or dirty coloured trousers on the way to work, I think Hagley Park&#039;s  cycle/ shared tracks should be better, including the unsealed one which lines the inside of Little Hagley Park, it is a good option if you for various reasons end up on that side, but it needs a sack of gravel in places to unbog it. Plus with all this talk of expensive new cycleways - hello? But can we make the ones we use useful/ dryish/ drained?]]></description>
