Lamar Park

I wanted to interfere with the ducks, but I didn't. When I was a kid I used to interfere with the ducks all the time by feeding them bread. As I got older people started to tell me I shouldn't do that. Apparently, bread in moderation isn't that bad for ducks. The problem is that you can give a duck a moderate amount of bread, but you have no idea how many other people are giving that duck a moderate or excessive amount of bread. That amount of bread isn't good for a human, let alone a duck.cDucks don't have the self control to be concerned about their overall carb intake. We're responsible for having the self control for them by not to giving them bread. If I was given unlimited bread every time I was at a park with a pond, I'd go to parks with ponds all the time and have so many health issues. I can't imagine what these ducks must be going through. Anyway, I didn't feed the ducks because I was told not to interfere with nature, but aren't humans a part of nature? Or are we just considered an interference? Also we interfere with other animals in so many ways. Why do we draw the line with ducks and bread? Like we've created a type of dog called a Pithuahua. That means a breeder had a pitbull and chihuahua have a baby. That seems like a pretty big interference, but I guess feeding a duck some bread is crossing the line. All I'm trying to say is that I didn't feed the ducks at Lamar Park. Mostly because I was scared that someone was going to walk up with their Pithuahua and yell at me because I was interfering with nature. I ended up still having a fun time here, it was beautiful.

Doesn't offer much besides a nice view for walking, but it's still a very pleasant walk. There is a big mound where children can play on (as of writing) that would've been fun for me as a kid, but not much else to entertain kids besides that. Also, the Geese are cool.

Best park in oxford ms. You can enjoy the waking and playing experience all the time . Dining and feeding fish is allowed for little ones and pets are allowed. Great big ares to team plays and gatherings. Less parking area but well maintained. Sun set time is very attractive and the middle lake is eye catching.

Beautiful park with great scenery! Great for walking, running, biking, and playing sports! It is a dog friendly park, so you can find pet clean up stations and dog-friendly water fountains!
