Awesome article! New enough, long enough, very well cited, hook directly stated. Prefer Alt0. Consider adding image in the lede for the hook? It's PD. Maury Markowitz (talk) 15:26, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

@Maury Markowitz: Thanks for the review. I considered adding an image to the hook, but the lead image, which shows a farm program in the park, wasn't particularly related. Unfortunately, I can't find any freely licensed images of the pool, or else I would've proposed these. Epicgenius (talk) 21:53, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
