"Public city space is precious in Tucson, especially park features. My concern is mostly for young children, the elderly, and unsheltered who these places serve the most. I am signing because the removal of this Reid Park feature from public use privatizes what belongs to the people of Tucson.

If they want to expand the zoo, expand it into the golf course. Don’t take away a cherished feature of Tucson’s favorite Lara Ruggles Tucson 85716 US 11/9/2020 park!"

"Write Mayor [email protected] !! (feel free to use my message or write your own, whatever is easier)Dear Mayor Romero,Today I found out that there are plans to redesign the duck pond at Reid Park and to make it part of the Zoo. This will limit the public space at Reid Park... much of which is already allotted to the Zoo, Baseball Fields and Golf Course. We need MORE public green space in Tucson, not less. The duck pond is part of family life in Tucson; a stroll around the pond and a picnic in the park are a big part of the experience. Please do not let this become a paid-to-experience part of Tucson.Many families are not capable of paying for entrance and are used to visiting weekly. It would be a great injustice to wreck this important part of Laura Milkins Tucson AZ 85705 US 11/10/2020 Tucson culture.Sincerely,"

While this pond is likely man made, it has been there fo so long that it's a prime spot for residents of our city to unwind and build memories, but there are local and migrating birds who have come to rely on this pond. Our world is messed up enough as it is. Lindsey Leist Tucson AZ 85710 US 11/11/2020 Don't add to it." Mariah Nye Tucson 85719 US 11/11/2020 "Save the duckies"

"I am a frequent visitor to the Reid Park duck pond and green space surrounding it. This area is cherished by the community and invaluable as peaceful, tranquil green space. This area promotes a community relationship with nature and waterfowl, teaches children amd adults alike the value in appreciating wildlife, nature, and one of very few water features in Tucson. I have always supported the zoo and have been a vocal advocate. But secretly planning the destruction of such a well used and much loved park area is unfathomable.

See that little triangle called Mitchell Park? That's the closest park to me. It's the size of a basketball court, & sits next to a busy intersection. If this city was a nature reserve, the level of park coverage would be shameful. Especially during Covid, those are our only recreational spaces for our homonid children who are stuck in their enclosures for often weeks at a time. Obviously, a Dennis Eagar Phoenix AZ 85031 US 11/11/2020 zoo and 2 golf courses are more important than. Harumph."

"What, exactly is happening to the "non native" pond life. No specific answers are being given by city govt or park officials. Vagaries such as "they are being taken care of" is all we get. I suspect the red eared sliders are being killed. And why has no one brough up the fact that public, free green space is being annexed instead of the golf course? This is a class issue. They aren't annexing the golf course because people that pay to use it would complain so they are taking free green Alecs S Tucson AZ 85728 US 11/11/2020 space from low income folks."

It's unfair to neighborhood families who enjoy the ducks and turtles, but can't afford the zoo.Why would anybody think it's smart to drain water, the wild birds and ducks need to survive in a climate that is getting even hotter and dryer? The zoo claims to preserve wild animals from other Lillian M. Fox Tucson AZ 85710 US 11/11/2020 continents, but it's eliminating water our native birds need."

"There is plenty of space in the Randolph Golf Course for expansion instead of taking away the free and public places for people to enjoy the park. Removing the duck ponds and the unique landscape of the hills in that area is removing a cultural gem for the people of Tucson and replacing it with a paid experience. I want the zoo to expand and improve, I also want to honor the people of Tucson and the access to our beautiful parks.

Please do not take away more beauty and open space from the central city. Reid Park has been parsed off and fenced for use by only UofA athletes. The park is maybe half the size it was when I was growing up in the 60s. Tucson has been rated as lacking in open space by a Natl Assoc. of Parks. Human beings need nature, beauty, and open space to thrive and do their best. Reid Park once had all of these in spades. Rather than take away the duck pond--give us back some of this park that has been fenced off in the past 15 years. Thank you. Molly McKasson Tucson AZ 85716 US 11/19/2020 Molly McKasson"

"Three years ago the city voted in favor of giving our tax dollars to the Reid Park Zoo for improvements and new habitats. Had RPZ been transparent that they would be using our money to privatize this beloved slice of Reid Park, those bills would have never passed. Shame on them. This place is one of a kind in Tucson, and gives kids CLay Morgan tucson AZ 85716 US 11/20/2020 more contact with nature than any zoo ever will."

Barbara Hoffman Tucson AZ 35716 US 11/20/2020 "I would prefer the pond be preserved and enhanced."

"The Duck Pond is more important than the Rose Garden due to Tiffany Mershon Tucson AZ 85710 US 11/20/2020 animals and people who spend their time at the pond."

Donna Perry Tucson AZ 85705 US 11/20/2020 "I like it the way it is"

"This strikes me another case of non transparency. Citizens cannot Mark Homan Tucson AZ 85719 US 11/20/2020 properly engage if officials hide information."

"The Reid park duck pond is a community asset in Tucson and brings people to Reid park who otherwise would not come. It provides emotional and psychological health benefits to many in Tucson and is Michele Hedlund Tucson AZ 85701 US 11/20/2020 home to many creatures. Don't change this Tucson treasure!"

"I have been a member of the Zoo and enjoy going there, but I also enjoy the duck and heron pond where I can go with my dog, who isn't welcome at the zoo. We really need both and can't sacrifice one for Michael McCrory Tucson AZ 85711 US 11/20/2020 the other." "This duck pond has been a go to place for me for many years. I don't understand why so many birds need to be displaced, even those that migrate annually to the park. The city and the zoo have not been transparent about their plans, and the Tucson community will suffer a Aspen Green Tucson AZ 85718 US 11/21/2020 great loss as a result."

Stephen Romaniello Tucson AZ 85719 US 11/21/2020 "Typical insensitivity of Tucson's urban planners."

"Gene Reid Lake has been a beautiful Tucson landmark since December 1959. Since its beginning the lake has been a place to relax for generations of Tucsonans. Please don't remove our public space as Tucson has done in its past with other parks. Carillos Gardens, Elysian Grove, Levins Park, where all once beautiful public spaces that Tucson destroyed. Now we can only read about them and Michael Araiza Tucson AZ 85706 US 11/21/2020 view photos. Don't let the same happen to Reid Park Lake"

"Our family has gone to feed and visit the ducks for years! It's a tradition and helps cope with hard times. Plus its home to many Payton Lara Fullerton CA 92833 US 11/21/2020 species."

"This is a beloved space for so many Tucsonans. Expand the zoo in Catherine Moutray Tucson AZ 85716 US 11/21/2020 another direction please and save this special area for the public."

"My kids n niece n nephews go there all the time to see the ducks. It AMPHONE BOUTTIRATH Tucson AZ 85710 US 11/21/2020 will be very sad to see the ducks go."

"I love to walk around the park area and the water is beautiful! We need to keep our shared public natural spaces safe. They should take Betty Ryan Tucson AZ US 11/21/2020 a chunk of the golf course instead."

"I feel the Zoo, which is power and $$ hungry is trying to take the caroline Krause Tucson AZ 85735 US 11/21/2020 beautiful FREE sites away from the regular folks in Tucson. Stop it!"

Melissa Miller Tucson AZ 85719 US 11/21/2020 "We need the quackers!"

Trevor Badger Tucson AZ 85711 US 11/21/2020 "I want those ducks to stay free to the public!"

Martin Freeman Barstow CA 92311 US 11/22/2020 "This has to remain a haven for birds and the public to see them" "Not only are they trying to take away a valuable green space from the community at large, this may also lower property values in the area. They are taking one of the best scenic picnic sites, one of the best places to relax with our families in this city and replacing it with someplace you would have to pay to enter. What kind of wall will be erected, concrete or metal? It doesn't matter. What matters is that whatever kind it will be it won't be as pleasant to visit at as the duck Betty Ryan Tucson AZ US 11/22/2020 pond and Barnum Hill."

"This area is beautiful, I love the hill and the huge beautiful hill I walk there 3 times a week. There is always people at the pond, mothers with babies, enjoying the ducks. If the zoo destoys and takes this spot, what is left of the park? Sports fieds and parking lots? Not so long ago the zoo took a corner of the park for the elephants, please leave a Andreas Bindorfer Tucson AZ 85711 US 11/22/2020 corner for us. We don't need a tiger or other animals !"

Paula Lundquist Tucson AZ 85712 US 11/22/2020 "I agree we need to save the pond."

Izzy Ramirez Phoenix AZ 85051 US 11/22/2020 "When I’m in town this park is awesome"

Becky Allard Montpelier VT 5602 US 11/22/2020 "Protect the environment."

"Maybe appealing to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is an option. Especially if there are any endangered species that habitate the area. Mike Cornejo Westfield IN 46074 US 11/22/2020 I wish you luck."

"I love going to Reid Park with my daughter and walking around the EMMA JEANNE BERGFELSTucson AZ 85711 US 11/22/2020 pond. We love the ducks."

"Much better to have a large pond in a natural setting like this with Greg Hale Tucson AZ 85704 US 11/23/2020 unconfined animals...unlike the poor creatures locked up in the zoo."

Chaz Gidnats Hightstown NJ 8520 US 11/23/2020 "Ducks need ponds"

"It's a HUGE deal to go to the duck pond with some halved grapes and feed them! It's always been a tradition in my family to go to Reid Park, feed the ducks, then play on the playground.The zoo needs more space, but there's a big ass golf course that's seldom used and WAY more area than the duck pond.Take out the golf course, it's an eye Kara Davis TUCSON AZ 85712 US 11/24/2020 sore.Leave our beautiful park alone!"

"I’m signing this because the ducks and people of Tucson deserve Stephanie Quinonez US 11/24/2020 better"

"I purchased my home a block West of Reid Park not because of the Zoo, but because I loved Reid Park's lovely open spaces and huge old trees. The Barnum Hill South Duck Pond area has always been my favorite area of the park. In the time I have lived here the Zoo has taken 7.5 acres of another very nice area of Reid Park for a herd of elephants they brought to the Zoo. There was no public process on that decision. If the Zoo destroys The Barnum Hill South Duck Pond Area and takes the property for it's own the park will loose 11 acres of public green space in a decade. We have also lost other areas to ball fields on the Northwest end of Park. Reid park is being given away to special interest groups left and right. Where does it end? The CEO of the Zoo and has openly said she is looking to bring animals to the Tucson Zoo that need space to roam. Clearly she thinks she can take whatever she thinks she needs for her master plan while using our tax Manon Getsi Tucson AZ 85716 US 11/24/2020 dollars to steal free, public, green space the public so desperately"

"I'm signing because the park was purchased years ago. Let it be, stop change everywhere all the time. Just leave something as it is for Mary Beaubien Tucson AZ 85715 US 11/24/2020 heaven's sake."

Maria Serrano Phoenix AZ 85029 US 11/25/2020 "My son lives close to this park and he use to go very often"

"I'm a Tucsonan, born and bred. Randolph (Reid) Park is part if my life. The xoo needs to expand Eastward, and leave the ponds and paths alone! Golf is a dying sport, and the zoo can make money the golf course is losing.Leave the Park alone, and leave some place for Richard Baker Tucson AZ 85710 US 11/25/2020 We, the People to enjoy!" "It is shameful that our elected officials allowed this land grab to take place at one of the City's favorite and most used parks. We need more park space, not less. Although many support the zoo, we should not have to sacrifice our tax-payer supported open space for a fee- based organization. The pond is habitat for wildlife that has come to depend on it in this ever increasing arid environment. If the elected officials will not reverse this travesty, then we need to demand that they come up with additional land at Reid Park to replace the land they Bonnie Poulos Tucson AZ 85719 US 11/25/2020 gave away."

"It's a travesty to destroy the duck pond! It's such a beautiful spot, Robyn Zelickson Qualicum BeachAZ BC CAN 11/26/2020 enjoyed by both bird and human families alike!"

"This pond is a resource for wildlife and the public. There’s nothing like it in the central part of town where there are many people with no place to go that is free where they can enjoy the water. Do not let the zoo turn it into a pay for entry facility. It is just not right. This is as bad as when you wanted to send one elephant away from her bonded partner years ago showing total ignorance of understanding animal behavior and ignorance of the welfare of citizens in the middle of your city including me. Keep it free and improve it so people will enjoy going to it as I did when there were paddleboats and many people around enjoying this free water recreational pond. I am aghast of the ignorance the city displays when it comes to issues like this. This is not progress. This is enriching a nonprofit profit center for the city at the expense of people that need such resources for their well being.Get rid of the golf range and turn it into a free resource for Jyl Maratea Tucson AZ 85750 US 11/26/2020 people to enjoy themselves instead of a few people"

"I love this duck pond, and the streams on Barnum Hill. I have a lot of fond memories of hanging out there and watching the birds. I love this place. It's one of the only places in Tucson with green grass, birds, water, and most importantly- streams. Getting rid of it would be a horrible loss, and I know I'm not the only one who thinks so. Many of my friends and family love this place. Don't destroy it- for everyone's Kayla Phoebe Hill US 11/28/2020 sake."

Hadeel Atiyah Tucson AZ 85710 US 11/28/2020 "I love the pond seen my childhood i went there." "I love the duck pond, and my family loves it too and, since I i was Hadeel Atiyah Tucson AZ 85710 US 11/28/2020 young I went to the duck pond."

Amanda Wood Scottsdale AZ 85267 US 11/29/2020 "Ducks need homes too"

"This area is important because there are so few green spaces near here. It is also a time of climate emergency and every mature tree Judith Peplow BishopsteigntonENG TQ14 9TT UK 12/5/2020 needs to be conserved."

"The City has systematically claimed way too much Reid Park land without input from citizens. They already ruined the other lake, where the center isle harbored all types of birds, there were paddleboats, and a snack shack.

I did feel that they were a little bit short on details with what they were going to do with it. It's getting the zoo finances doesn't lead to internal Improvement as much as it leads to its expansion and taking free public land away I'm very much regretting my vote. I also feel a significant loss of faith in the institution. I feel that they were not open with their plans before the election because they knew it would not be popular. The vote is the only power people who are too poor to afford going to the zoo have in order to preserve their own resources. Now the vote is over and they are revealing their plans? No. Barnum Hill and the small duck ponds are a great treasure and should be guarded. The acreage that makes up the publicly-accessible free park lands should be preserved. If the zoo wants to improve there are many ways I can think of that they can improve their current acreage instead of Ondrea Campbell Tucson AZ 85711 US 12/21/2020 taking Acres away from those who can only"

"I'm signing this petition because the City of Tucson and the Zoo were not forthright in Prop 203 about their plans to take Barnum Hill the South Duck Pond and all the trees in the area (128) and wall it off while destroying a good portion of it in the process. Tucson on a scale of 1 -100 is at a 30 for park acreage. Taking this highly used area from the pubic is a horrific idea and not what we voted for in prop 203. This is a highly used, beloved and historic area. The Zoo can go another Manon Getsi Tucson AZ 85716 US 12/22/2020 direction and should."

"My family and I like to go here often to either picnic or just walk Michaela Gonder Tucson AZ 85745 US 12/27/2020 around and say hi to the animals all around."

"The need for quiet, restful, and places to freely run and explore are necessary in our community. They bring enchantment to our souls Mary Langlois Tucson AZ 85710 US 12/27/2020 and minds."

"This is so sad, please just make the golf course smaller. There’s Kristina Silcox Tucson AZ 85715 US 12/27/2020 plenty of other actual golf courses for people to go to."

"This place should be designated a historical landmark and preserved! I took my children to the zoo maybe 5 times in their 37 years of life, but hundreds of times to this area! Even brought a new group of kids to play at Reid Park! It was satisfying to see some of the same playground equipment and of course the lake and ducks! This park is Saundra KING SV AZ 85635 US 12/27/2020 Tucsons Central Park! Keep it free for all to enjoy!"

"This is one of my favorite spots to go into Tucson and I have taken all of my 24 foster kids to this spot... Families deserve a free place to go and the animals that live at the pond should not be disrupted nor sevananda carolus Pagosa SpringsCO 81147 US 12/27/2020 should the trees be removed."

"I have been a member of Reid Park Zoo for two years now. I agree with everyone else that citizens were not informed that the expansion would include eliminating Barnum Hill and the duck pond. I support the zoo and the work they do but those areas of Reid Park were a big part of my childhood and are becoming a part of my children’s now. Please Daniel Fadok Tucson AZ 85745 US 12/27/2020 consider alternative expansion options!"

"I've been to the duck pond many times and have seen the joy on children's faces. I've been chased by geese, which made me laugh. I've sat for hours, watching the ducks, geese and turtles, removing myself from a hectic life for a while. I'm not sure why you believe it's no big deal to close the pond. It's a huge deal to those of us who need just this sort of distraction. Also, what becomes of the ducks, geese, turtles, frogs and birds that call this home? Over 20,000 Tucson citizens have signed this Petition so far. Maybe you should have Jayne Butler Tucson AZ 85716 US 12/29/2020 consulted with us first? After all, we pay your salaries. Now stop it."

Jean Moxley Myrtle Beach SC 29577 US 12/30/2020 "Jean moxley" "The duck pond, beautiful trees and hill are an important part of Tucson, and it needs to be kept free to the public, especially right now!! We are in a crisis, we don’t need tigers that we need to pay to see, we need access to public outdoor spaces that bring us joy and don’t empty our pockets.

"I am a native Tucsonan who has enjoyed the ponds at Reid Park for many years. From family reunions, to my daughter's birthday to my dad's memorial. It is a wonderful, peaceful place for families and kids to have fun. It is also an important place for migratory birds and waterfowl.

Fernando Cunes Tucson AZ 85716 US 12/31/2020 "I love taking my grandsons all 4"

"I'm signing because we don't have much free shade in Tucson that during times like Covid are even more precious. All the school field trips to the zoo and then have lunch spread out over the duck pond on the hill is wonderful here. Its somewheresafe away from other that you can go and enjoy your family. Not all people have money but this is free and the beautiful trees that have been there forever. Those trees will die in this transition. The shuffleboard area and that ugly orange art decor area could beused ..there could be a bridge over the amee button Tucson AZ 85710 US 1/10/2021 park to the west area that has no trees and no visitors."

Richard Hernandez Tucson AZ 85730 US 1/11/2021 "Its memories"

"I grew up in Tucson and love coming home and spending time at Reid Park. Not only is keeping animals in captivity wrong, but destroying this area of the park will displace animals and result in less Julia Van Valkenburg Los Angeles CA 90015 US 1/11/2021 public space for Tucsonans and visitors.
