Still a grand old place
梅蒙德庄园的点评
点评：The park is still nice & well worth a visit ,but it didn't seem as well kept as when I was in the area years ago. I went specifically to revisit the Japanese gardens. Alas, they looked sadly stagnant. The water fountain that used to cascade downhill from the Italian gardens to the Japanese gardens was dry & from other reviews last year I assume this is either ongoing or ..... (hopefully not!) Permanent. This park doesn't charge a fee for entry so perhaps that's the problem?
There's a donation kiosk near the entry & when I was making a donation someone asked if it was to pay for parking in the lot. I said no it's for making donations for park upkeep. He said 'oh' and walked off.
Later when I was leaving, I sat at a nearby bench & watched many people walk in without giving the kiosk a second glance. The parking lot was nearly full. While I'm sure some people genuinely couldn't afford to donate, I somehow doubt that covers most of the guests that day.
If you go there and want to put a dollar or 2 in rather than the suggested donation of 5$, it will let you, even though that's not technically an option. Just select 5$ & enter your dollars. The machine will just stay on the first screen waiting for you to put more money in until it times out. It doesn't return the money after the home screen comes up. I assume of course that you couldn't do that with a debit card.
Thought I'd mention that in case someone wants to help support the park even a little bit. A dollar here and there adds up!

翻译：公园仍然很漂亮，值得一游，但看起来不像我几年前来的时候那么保养得很好。我特意去重游了日本花园。唉，它们看起来令人遗憾地停滞不前。曾经从意大利花园流下山坡到日本花园的喷泉已经干涸了，从去年的其他评论来看，我猜想这种情况要么是持续的，要么是......（希望不是！）永久性的。这个公园不收取入场费，所以也许这就是问题所在？
入口附近有一个捐款亭，当我捐款时，有人问是不是要付停车费。我说不是，是用来捐款用于公园维护的。他说“哦”，然后走开了。
后来当我离开时，我坐在附近的长椅上，看着很多人走进来，没有再看一眼那个亭子。停车场几乎满了。虽然我确信有些人真的付不起捐款，但我怀疑这是否涵盖了当天的大多数客人。
如果您去那里并想投入 1 美元或 2 美元而不是建议的 5 美元捐款，它会允许您这样做，即使这在技术上不是一个选择。只需选择 5 美元并输入您的美元。机器将停留在第一个屏幕上，等待您投入更多钱，直到超时。主屏幕出现后，它不会退还钱。我当然认为您不能用借记卡这样做。
我想提一下，以防有人想帮助支持公园，哪怕是一点点。这里一美元，那里一美元，积少成多！
