Please DO NOT feed the ducks at the pool areas It’s so tempting to want to feed the wildlife. It makes us feel good.

The reality is the ducks come looking for a free meal at the pool areas. They are making a mess in the pools as well as on the decks. This is a health hazard and an inconvenience to everyone as the pool and/or pool areas have to be closed and cleaned and the pool treated for the feces that has gotten into the pool.
