I grew up with the Duck Pond being partially raised in the village and I have never seen the condition of the park, specifically the pond, look worse than I have seen it now. It looks as if the county and or the town or whoever takes care of the Duck Pond has lost interest and doesn’t really care. The accumulation of algae this year is horrible to the point where I believe it could be toxic with the odor alone. Signs are posted at the Glen Rock park and pond location in Glen Rock, also run by the county, which warn of a toxic algae accumulation in their pond, which looks mild by comparison to the Duck Pond situation, where the smell is putrid to the point where it almost made me vomit. Don’t believe me, go to the Duck Pond as of August 25, 2018. Doesn’t anybody give a shit?
Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood Mayor Susan Knudsen has a snow day activity :
RIDGEWOOD RESIDENTS: On this snowy day PLEASE take a moment to complete the Bergen County Parks Master Plan Survey at https://cues.rutgers.edu/bergen-park-system/
As of February 20, out of the total 1751 online survey responses, there were 79 responses from the Ridgewood zip code. We would love to see as many 07450 responses as possible to ensure that the Bergen County Master Plan reflects the needs of Ridgewood residents! Our response numbers are pretty good based on 70 municipalities in Bergen County…but we can do better! Complete the survey and be heard!

THE RECORD
The gourmet food truck craze has landed in the Bergen County parks.
The first trucks in what organizers hope will be a rotating caravan serving everything from Thai food to hot dogs to ice cream have set up their mobile shops at Overpeck County Park and in Paramus at the Orchard Hills Golf Course and Van Saun Park.
