The Pond at Willard

[dubob]

I'm neutral on that pond.  But to think of it ONLY as a fishing pond is a bit short sighted.  It is much more than that.  It is also a recreational area for swimming, paddle boarding, sun bathing, etc.  The North Marina camping area has 79 sites which can number hundreds of folks during the summer months who more than likely see this new addition to the park's amenities as a very welcome addition to recreate away from power boat recreation.  There is even a concrete launch for non-motorized watercraft.  Based on the intended use (fishing and non-fishing recreation), I don't see it as wasteful spending.  But I do think that both the North & South Marinas are in need of some much-needed repairs and upgrades.
