Jeffery, do you have any idea when the park got gator-ized?  When I was a
teenager in the 50s we used to skinny-dip in lagoons in the north end of
City Park.  They were fairly secluded and the water surface was covered with
algae.  Someone had to do a cannonball to bust a hole in the scum so we
could swim.  But I don't think there were gators there then.  Just
mocassins.
