GREAT NEWS!!! The reconstruction of the ponds at Ford Park is underway!!

[Big Bear Legal Eagle]

After pitching this project for over five years, I finally attracted the interest of Fred Ford, the grandson of Ford Park's namesake, who convinced the two Rotary Clubs in Redlands to take the initiative on the ponds. Last week the lower pond was drained and so that the soil can dry out for dredging and re-contouring the bottom and banks. Once the lower pond is completed, it will be re-filled, re-stocked and the process will move to the upper pond. Here is the newspaper article:

Much better, thanks.

Wow, congrats!

I hope they can save most of the fish during the transfer. Plenty of forage in their to keep the bass happy.

Also, I hope they can keep that nice new wall of reeds in the lower pond :)

That is awesome. Hopefully they make the upper pond deeper to prevent those algae blooms.
