Oakbank Pond Park

Very peaceful place.

It was a man made Pond but it is serene place

A nice pretty little pond

The pond is surrounded by tall grasses and bulrushes. The little wooden platform that stands above part of the pond has recently been redone. It looks similar to how it looked before except the railings are sloped inward, probably so birds can't land on them and make a mess.

There are lots of animals to see in the pond. There is a huge snapping turtle, (which looks like a lake monster with its spiky tail); there are smaller turtles; there are big dragonflies and there is a good assortment of waterfowl: ducks, geese and cormorants. You can watch the cormorants drying their wings on the little island toward the back of the pond.

It's a very picturesque area except for the large amounts of goose and seagull poop. There are very few areas where you can safely step. Don't wear nice shoes!

It is a nice, small place to hang out! Currently the place is under renovations. Limited parking along side Centre st. and that parking is free. It is a NO FISHING area.
Lots of geese visit this place, and many times on centre st. traffic comes to a halt when the Geese family is crossing the road.
People wait patiently for them to cross the road. A must see place once they finish the Reno.
