I am a conservationist and work in water quality monitoring.

This isn't a park as much as a monument to environmental mismanagement.

We stopped for a picnic and were immediately surrounded by 20 aggressive geese and 100 aggressive goslings. We sat on top of the picnic table to protect our children. Geese approached us and hissed repeatedly. We watched goslings limping and dirty run for food. Adult geese attacked each other and attacked goslings. Something I've never seen before.

Soon we found the cause: the "park" sells corn for people to feed the geese. "Corn is best. Corn is available for purchase at the observation center". - a sign glibly claims. Corn isn't what geese should be eating, but it's cheep. So the park can make more money selling it to visitors.

The effects of this funding strategy are visible everywhere. The ground and water are covered in goose feces. Aggressive geese charge at children and adults. The pond water is green, no doubt from the massive amount of goose fecal matter. Vegetation is missing from much of the park. And sick, hungry and dirty geese and goslings are limping towards you for a French fry.

It was sad and disgusting.

Don't feed wild animals or they won't be wild anymore.
