In response to the comments below; the scrape underwent re contouring & deepening on two occasions, originally it wasn't built to specification. Phase 1 increased it to the designated size. Phase 2 deepened the shallower areas and banks so it would hold a greater depth of water.
We expected winter rainfall to fill the scrape as required. Unfortunately we experienced a very dry winter. We were hoping for a pump to top up the scrape this spring. A normal winter will see the scrape fill and then evaporate over the summer exposing muddy edges and work as designed.

good walking area would have like to see some benches or picnic tables as if you are doing all the foot paths you will need a sit down and some refreshments on summer days
