By Ranger Drive, the three connected pools have been designed to function as a balancing (or attenuation) pond, and also act as a local nature reserve providing slightly different habitats. https://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/?title=Balancing_Pond Image] The St Modwen Developments regeneration on the 88 acre former Goodyear tyre factory site has continued for many years, with housing and the relandscaped Wingfoot Park (now named Goodyear Neighbourhood Park and reopened in 2018). The park needs more trees, and some have been planted, and the area will be even more attractive in future years. There is a basketball/handball court, tennis courts and a children's play area.

This is the A449, looking north towards Wolverhampton City Centre from near the junction with Oxley Moor Road (off to the right).

Looking south from the junction with Ranger Drive. The St Modwen Developments regeneration on the 88 acre former Goodyear tyre factory site has continued for many years, with housing and the relandscaped Wingfoot Park (now named Goodyear Neighbourhood Park and reopened in 2018), behind the camera. A fascinating nature conservation area there has been built with three linked pools functioning as an attenuation pond by Ranger Drive. The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company is an American multinational tyre manufacturing company founded in 1898 by Frank Seiberling and based in Akron, Ohio.

Looking north towards Ranger Drive and Ohio Gardens on a dull November morning. The attenuation pond is divided into three linked pools, this image showing part of the third, the main storage (foreground) and the second (a reed pool for cleaning the water). Off to the right is a settlement pond (to filter out sediment).

Looking south-west towards Ranger Drive and Ohio Gardens on a dull November afternoon. The attenuation pond (balancing pond) is divided into three stepped and linked pools. Top right is the settlement pool, which filters out sediment, lower and to its left is a reed pool which helps to clean the water. Lower still and in the foreground is the main storage pool, which has an outlet off to the right.
