I rode by that pond with my two young boys a couple of Sundays ago. I have never heard so much profanity. The other ponds next to Veteran’s were the same way. It is obvious these kids need some place to hang out but they also need some control down there.

I won’t be taking my kids back through that section of the Greenbelt for sometime. Hopefully the city can fix this before the whitewater park is built.

Count me in on the Clocktower pond dock is a big pain in the ass. Many of us have complained to Parks and Rec, to Kathleen Lacey and others. So what do they do? They make the parking lot twice as big last week so more gang bangers can drive in from Nampa to cause even more problems.

Casey is right. Nowhere else on the Greenbelt would this be tolerated. Look at Parkcenter Pond, there’s a huge sign that says no swimming. I don’t know it that is an actual enforceable city ordinance but the sign is there.

Mrs. Sherman shouldn’t worry about the Historical Society/District since she doesn’t live in one. I can’ t imagine them annexing that part of the Bench yet.

I have to agree with the lady about the problems around Quinn’s Pond. It seems like it has been taken over by juvenile delinquents. A coworker was swimming there last year in preparation for the Ironman and these kids actually threw rocks at her as she swam! They take over the docks and are completely obnoxious to other recreationists. I know law enforcement is aware of the issue, but more needs to be done to keep the area safe and family-friendly.
