DETAILS:

Douglass Park Lily Pool is a thriving environment with a host of birds, ducks and insects that help sustain its biodiversity. The expansive open fields around it invite members of the community to play soccer and lawn games. WHAT TO LISTEN FOR: While the drone of traffic is constant, with the intermittent roar of trucks and high-pitched squeaking of brakes, natural sounds find their way through the din. Listen for insects, birds and wind rustling through the willow trees and tall grasses. The Lily Pool offers a true moment of escape from the bustle of the city.
