There is a section of the grounds closed off by a small, wooden gate, where ducks (Muscovy, Mallard and Pekin to the best of my knowledge ??? which is not very vast), ponies and other animals run around???.something like a petting zoo, except you can???t get near enough to pet the ponies, and right now the ducks and chickens all have young, so they are not exactly???.er???..friendly!
