- A large pond at the eastern edge of the park is a great place to play frisbee and goof around, but be careful you aren't attacked by the crazy domestic Chinese geese that live in the water! They poop a lot, so walk barefoot at your own risk. The pond is lined with yellow-flowering iris (''Iris pseudacorus'') which are very pretty, but this species is an ["invasive species"] that really should not be used here. Observant and quiet explorers are likely to see pied-billed grebes, coots, mallards, Canada geese, and the usual set of birds that live in town. But on the whole, the ["Birds and Bird Watching" bird watching] at the pond is mostly a matter of watching to make sure you don't get the Chinese geese mad at you! Far better ["Birds and Bird Watching" bird watching] is at the fenced-in ["North Area Pond"] at the eastern boundary of Northstar park, where there are two wooden observation "docks" that extend into the preserve.	+ A large pond at the eastern edge of the park is a great place to play frisbee and goof around, but be careful you aren't attacked by the crazy domestic Chinese geese that live in the water!
