A small lagoon lies amidst the greenery and colorful flowers, luring visitors to cross it via the Brooklyn Bridge, or aboard one of the famous foot pedal-powered swan boats. The boats cruise the pond leisurely during warm months. Near the pond stands a series of small, bronze statues of a mother duck and her ducklings. Jack, Kack, Lack, Mack, Nack, Ouack, Pack, and Quack compose Mrs. Mallard's pack made famous in the 1941 classic children's story Make Way for Ducklings, set in the Public Garden. The statues was inspired by an actual duck who would stop traffic daily as she led her babies to the garden's pond.
Visitors are lucky enough to near real ducks and swans alongside the pond.
