| Located along the F.U.T.S., the pond
is provides community fishing – a state
fishing license is required. Arizona Game &
Fish hosts free clinics at the pond and
local schools bring children for outdoor
education. Interpretive signs encourage
visitors to watch wildlife intentionally and
regularly to see how this restored pond and
riparian habitat are used by numerous birds,
mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and fishes.
Walking trails surround the pond, where
you'll find native vegetation and abundant
birdlife. Frances Short is just a short walk
to Thorpe Park's ball fields, dog park, and
community center. |
