White Oak Park — Attraction in Bloomington

I really enjoy the lake and the picnic areas. there is an area where it's possible to drop boats into the water and it's a very kayak friendly place. there are at least two areas at the park that have picnic tables. both designated spots for the picnic tables are covered by a pavilion to ensure that a picnic does not always have to be cancelled because of the rain. on another note, there are trash cans on site and though some might think this should promote less littering, it does not or maybe it does and the trash blows out of the garbage cans. they offer fun games to play with your children or your friends while you walk around the lake. the games are posted on signs that are found on the path that circles the lake. the games promote awareness of surroundings and nature. but, the one thing that is really unfortunate about this place? the geese. there is poop everywhere and you often have to walk looking down so that you don't step in poo. not to mention that they are vicious creatures, especially when they feel threatened and protective of...
