Update: I went back a few weeks later to find the injured geese were removed, and and the remaining geese were now on other side of that lake area. I then spent several hours after that going around the ateas of waters' edge I could reach with a long stick, and pull out garbage. Alot being fast food discards. I recovered a partial bicycle, a shopping cart(2), and lots of misolanious debris,and finally to my distorting, a DEAD TURTLE carcass that DISINTEGRATED!!!!!!!!!!! as I was pulling it up from the water!!#%%*# --- as disgusting as it really appeared,the SMELL leaves me speechless. I did what I could. 12/9/24

It is a nice spot...
Read moreIf you know who this assailant is, we would appreciate it if you could call the police. On May 20, 2022, shortly after 10:00 a.m, my wife was playing with our 20 month old daughter on the playground when suddenly the woman in the photo came at my wife from behind, grabbed her by the hair and punched her in the head and face.

My daughter loves the geese and ducks in this pond, so we come here often, but unfortunately, we are so traumatized that we will never...
