Zoo Lake
A lake. Exactly one mile in diameter, surrounded by a large park, and just two blocks from Dash and Rob's houses.
On offer: a tug-of-war trough, row-boat hire, an island, a bakery, an art show, bullrushes, and an abandoned fort.
It is the only known home of the Fluff-tailed Hemple-fluffers. Rowing out to see the ducks is a particularly popular honeymoon activity.
