After Liz was born, and when she was a toddler, I distinctly remember the three of us coming to Roslyn Pond Park and spreading a blanket and bringing lunch. Liz was a toddler and loved seeing the ducks wandering around on the lawn. In 2001 it was renamed Gerry Pond Park, after Dr. Roger Gerry and his wife Peggy, both of whom were leading figures in the historic preservation of Roslyn. Recently I went to a presentation at the Roslyn Library, and afterwards wandered down to the pond to take a photograph. I would say I haven't walked around here for over 50 years! It is even more beautiful than I remember!

The park looks peaceful and lovely. Don't wait another 50 years! It reminds me of the duck pond on North Street.
What a cute park. I love the scene with the pond and the houses, especially the red one, in the background. It has that Americana art feel. Trace
Beautiful!
What a beautiful photograph of that pond, Dad!

This park looks like a lovely place to relax. I agree with Trace about the Americana feel. Betsey
