Allison pond

I finally got a chance to fish this pond while it is algae free. For years, people have told me this pond

had carp but all I found today were koi. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with catching koi.

However, I saw no carp in this small pond; only two koi.

 This park honors George William Allison (1888-1939), an engineer who used his expertise to usher in a new era of public works in Staten Island when President Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945) established the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s.
