Where is the pond at the Salisbury Park?
ReplyDeleteIt's the river by the bandstand. One of the best FREE family outings the county provides. Except i learned they quit letting people with no fishing pole to use a county provided bamboo pole like in the 60's and 70's. that's sad. but it's a great time to enjoy with your kids. Get out and have some free fun!
