Nesting Snapping Turtle at Woodside Heights Playground

 Nesting Snapping Turtle at Woodside Heights Playground

We have a special visitor - a nesting snapping turtle has made her way to Woodside Heights playground.

Please help us protect her by:
Keeping a safe distance
Not disturbing or touching her
Keeping children and pets away from the area
Respecting any temporary barriers or signs in place

Reminder: According to Municipal Code 21.01(2)(s):
“No person shall kill, injure, or disturb or attempt to injure or disturb waterfowl, birds, or animals, wild or domestic, within any park.”
