Dear John and others…we have gone to this park and tried to walk around, but because the geese poop is all over the walkways, it becomes almost impossible…who’d want to go into the water, its so dirty!! We now go to Bowne Park and sit in the sun watching the geese and turtles sunning themselves on rocks in the water…at least you can walk there, without stepping on goose-poop!
