Only for fishing, Monkeys!
Posted by SockMonkey from Columbus on 8/27/07
I recently stumbled onto this park a few days ago. I noticed that there were several people fishing and a couple was strolling along the waterfront. I really enjoyed the ambiance and thought it was OK to head down to the waterfront and walk around. In about 10 minutes, a white truck from the City of Columbus appeared in the parking lot. When he rolled down the window and began shouting at me to leave, I took a look around. I noticed that I was the only monkey on the beach. The couple was not ordered to thier shiny silver minivan and told to leave...just me. He pulled to the end of the parking lot and shined his lights at the exit to ensure that I didn't get lost on my way out. So, for all the monkeys out there. If you decide to stop here after dark, make sure that you have your fishing poles out, and your license in you pocket because the park rules WILL apply to you.
