-  Granville Island, Vancouver
This large natural pond is usually all a-flotilla  with ducks.  Oh, and turtles too, in the summer sunning themselves on  rocks.  Access to the pond is easy with the lawn right to the edge of  the water, and the small jetty jutting into the pond.  Little children  throw bread crumbs or Starbucks biscuits at the ducks. Its a nice pond.   It has ducks, and turtles.
