B-Y Park — Attraction in Trafford

This is a spectacular park repurposed and revamped from a small pond. Powered pavilions and public restrooms offer amenities for those looking for an outside venue to celebrate many occasions. The pond has differing types of fish to catch, pan fish, catfish, and carp mostly, but some have caught frogs and turtles also.

The convenience of this park is the only reason for 2 stars. The overpopulation of geese (mean geese) in addition to their droppings that cover the ground everywhere you go has been the main reason I’ve avoided going here. Despite that we make the trip because my two-year-old son loves playing around the pond. However, today was our last visit when I found him tangled in fishing line TWICE. The second time there was a rusty fish hook attached. This is a reoccurring issue. Two years ago we discovered a baby goose tangled in...
