for our entire community. It is a terrible loss, and as a father, I can't imagine what this poor man must be going through. However, this pond is very safe. I've been living here 22 years, and nothing like this has happened before. THINK about that people. Horrible accidents happen, no matter what is done to prevent them. The waterline is quite removed from the walkway by either fenced in piers, yes fenced, or is separated by at least 10 feet, plantings and rocks in most areas. A child is not "suddenly going to be in the water." Fencing off this beautiful pond is ridiculous. Why not fence off the beaches too? People drown at the beaches on a regular basis each year. Toddlers already have a dedicated fenced-in play area at this park. The population of Huntington should not be punished because one man was not paying attention to his child. It is tragic, please do not confuse my response with that of someone who is not feeling the human element here, I am. I think we should all be careful with our words because, what if the father of this child was reading these comments How painful it would be for him, put yourself literally in his shoes for just 5 minutes, read these comments. His child has just passed away. Please be careful with what you post even if it is your opinion, put other people's feelings into perspective. accident/?aksid?nt/ Noun: An unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly
