Big fish
Beautiful park, came by to fish. Was pleasantly surprised by the tranquility, gazebo, and lovely pond. Only complaint was the geese colonized the park.
This is a quaint little pond that doesn’t even register as a body of water on Google Maps (at time of writing). There are various benches along the perimeter to sit or fish. You’ll usually find people shore fishing during the day.
The pond itself isn’t deep. It mostly has a depth of 2-4 feet, with the deepest near the center reaching about 4.7 feet. It has three fountains to keep the water aerated. The ground near the shore is damp and sloshy as the pond gets fairly swamp-like near its perimeter. There are also geese and therefore lots of geese poo, but it’s not as egregious as other at other geese ponds.
Overall I think this would be a nice place to take your kids fishing or enjoy nature. The small town has a friendly vibe and a nice atmosphere.
Beautiful, well-kept, and maintained. However,
Parking was kind of hard to figure out. We parked across the street by the Police station, which is open to the public after 3 pm. The field was a little muddy and had geese feces all over. Walk with caution. But, overall the park is beautiful.
