The ducks are cute, be aware that giving them bread can cause health problems and negatively impact their environment. If you bring a treat for the ducks, choose from the list below:
- Halved grapes (be sure to cut them in half to prevent choking)
- Thawed frozen peas
- Barley or oats
- Birdseed
SW Duck Pond, opened in 1972 and was designed by the landscape architecture firm Wallace McHarg Roberts & Todd and is located at the corner of 6th & I Street SW.
