The Chamber of Commerce occupied this site in 1976, and the pond was used as a picnic area and a gathering spot for people to watch the ducks and fish. When the Chamber of commerce moved in 1984, the City of College Station used the property for the development of a new police station. In the process, over half of the pond had to be filled in for a new parking lot. In 1987, the remaining pond was renovated and an aerator added. A 1/3-mile jogging trail, shelter, and two fishing piers were also added to give this park a pleasant and enjoyable atmosphere to play and relax in. MORE
