jeremy - you're talking about those d*mned geese - i hate 'em too  i'd really like to round them up and put 'em on a train headed  EAST.  maybe they'll get lost.
 that park is such an immense waste. it's an atrocious parkland. there are barely any facilities - and my pet peeve, all the goose poo. if you bring your kids and let them feed the lousy geese - they come after you liked zombies.  god i hate em! it's swampy in the wet weather and nothing there for the dry season.
   i used to go there almost every day for the dog park and it was mostly people , working people, taking their lunch breaks as a nap time in the park lot. rarely saw kids there. maybe feeding the hated geese. the few picnic tables weren't occupied expect for one, where a few of these folks you speak of were gathered.   there were tables on the other side of the park - so these guys weren't driving people away. if i was hired to leash train a dog, that's where i took them to begin - no people - no distractions
