Allesely
Park
was
once
a
beautiful
deer
park.
The
original
owner
left
Allesely
Hall
and
the
park
to
the
city
of
Coventry.
For
many
years
the
grounds-keeper
lived
there
and
did
a
great
job
at
maintaining
the
park.
However,
in
their
greed,
Coventry
council
decided
to
sell
the
Hall
to
a
private
care
company.
Now,
the
beautiful
gardens
are
fenced
off
from
the
public
and
the
park
has
been
left
to
slowly
deteriorate
into
an
overgrown,
poorly-maintained
mess.
Huge
areas
of
the
once-impressive
playing
field,
and
other
large
parcels
of
the
park
have
been
left
to
grow
wild,
and
there
are
countless
broken
tree
limbs
and
broken
branches
in
need
of
attention.
Despite
the
many
areas
that
need
attention,
those
charged
with
maintaining
the
park
did
elect
to
fell
a
stunning
Redwood,
citing
that
it
presented
a
safety
concern.
My
guess
is
that
the
company
responsible
falsely
evaluated
it
so
they
could
drum
up
business
during
lockdown.
The
golf
course
is
another
sad
story
-
the
sand
traps
are
always
full
of
weeds
and
when
the
mow
the
fairways
they
never
collect
the
cuttings.
The
walled
garden
has
been
crudely
carved
up
into
4
quarters
and
divvied
up
between
four
warring
factions
of
the
community
in
order
to
keep
the
peace.
One
group
even
cut
down
a
200
year
old
weeping
willow
so
they
could
plant
apple
trees.
Disgraceful!
At
the
same
time,
the
fairy
garden
has
become
a
depository
of
cast-off
toys.
It's
more
like
a
fairy
fly-tip.
Many
of
the
fences
separating
the
park
from
the
dual
carriageway
(Pickford
Way)
are
broken
or
missing,
meaning
your
dog
or
child
could
easily
wander
into
fast
moving
traffic.
There
are
no
covered
seating
areas
and
nowhere
to
buy
refreshments
or
dog
supplies,
even
though
this
is
one
of
the
most
popular
parks
for
dogs.
What
could
be
a
stunning
park
and
a
fantastic
day
out,
barely
scrapes
past
average
now.
Coventry
council
have
a
lot
to
answer
for.
