These comments seem a little mean spirited to me. Why should this family pay for upkeep of an access road, sewage service and water lines etc which they do not use or need? They do not even live in the Park. Only their garden backs into the Park. The real scandal here is why it took ten long, costly years to come to the obvious conclusion about Positive Covenants. By the way, I would assume they will indeed still have to cover tree pruning costs in their own garden which abuts or includes any Wychwood Park land. This has nothing whatsoever to do with greed and everything to do with fairness and transparency.  I say Caveat Emptor to future purchasers of property in Wychwood Park.
