This pond, a couple of concrete bridges and a concrete paddling pool (located behind the photographer) are the only remaining features - along this stretch of the valley floor - of an area where people used to congregate during the 30s and 40s to enjoy such formal features as a bandstand, a bowling green and a rifle range. Several pools now provide a smll wetland area.
