One of the "few" surviving groundhogs in this popular park.

Recent observations by visitors show that a number of groundhog holes have been filled in. A couple of years ago the City of Ottawa admitted to gassing the parks groundhogs stating that they might bite someone or that someone may hurt themselves by tripping on one of the groundhog holes!

This year there are far fewer groundhogs, squirrels and or chipmunks to be found in this park.
