Lyrics & Translation

[English]

now listen carefully and answer

questions 11 to 16.

as chair of the Town Council

subcommittee on Park facilities I'd like

to bring you up to date on some of the

changes that have been made recently to

the Croft Valley Park

so if you could just take a look at the

map I handed out let's begin with a

general overview

so the basic arrangement of the park

hasn't changed it still has two gates

north and south and a lake in the middle

the cafe continues to serve an

assortment of drinks and snacks and is

still in the same place looking out over

the lake and next to the old Museum

we're hoping to change the location of

the toilets and bring them nearer to the

center of the park as they're a bit out

of the way at present near the Adventure

Playground in the corner of your map

the formal Gardens have been replanted

and should be at their best in a month

or two

they used to be behind the old Museum

but we've now used the space near the

South Gate between the park boundary and

the path that goes past the lake towards

the old Museum

we have a new outdoor gym for adults and

children which is already proving very

popular

it's by the glass houses just to the

right of the path from the south gate

you have to look for it as it's a bit

hidden in the trees

one very successful introduction has

been our skateboard ramp

it's in constant use during the evenings

and holidays

it's near the old museum at the end of a

little path that leads off from the main

path between the lake and the museum

we've also introduced a new area for

wildflowers to attract bees and

butterflies

it's on a bend in the path that goes

around the east side of the lake just

south of the Adventure Playground

thank you
