Young folk having fun finding out whether or not the ice on the Cooper Park pond was thick enough to take their weight. Not all of it was - one of the girls got a wet foot - but it was good to see them being cautious about the experiment. I do remember once being able to skate on this pond during my lunch hour many years ago.
