Quite agree, having read the Park website. Indeed, my one (mistaken) edit to this article was to remove the obvious marks of copy-and-paste (e.g. text which read "Top", an obvious piece of copied internal bookmark). I will rewrite in the next few days. HLGallon (talk) 00:55, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have completed the work you began, revising material to address copyright concerns, and posted a caution below to help guard against future contributors restoring the copyrighted version. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 15:16, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
