SHH:
The fields have been there since the 60's at least...they were not constructed by HLA. The lake has been there that long also. Also not constructed by HLA. The geese have been using the lake as a temporary home since then. If scarecrows work maybe it would be a good suggestion. But the health risks of geese and respiratory issues have been debated for a very long time. I did a search and found at least 20 sites disputing the health risk issue. A few going the other way too. I suppose it would depend on the quantity of geese, the time of year, and how long you actually spent close to the ground.

Deborah:
Doesn't matter when or who constructed it- it was a design error.

SHH, any poop is going to have potentially harmful pathogens. That's why gardeners compost it before using it on their garden. There is no way to get around it- it's not sanitary. If your exposure is minimal and you practice good hygiene= hand washing, not tracking it into living/work areas, etc, you might be okay.
Would you allow your kids to play there and roll around in it? I wouldn't.

juniper:
Shh, once again, I was just at the school and the fields are not fit for animals let alone children. It is truly disgusting! Trust me.  If they have closed down town ball fields and school
gym fields( Health Departments)there is a risk.
Believe me, Environmental would not waste the money or their time.  When they are alerted,
they usually are there within a day. They take their samples and BOOM!  But, you know what,
it is cleaned up, or closed down for good.

SHH:
The field that had the geese for the most part was the one by the tennis court and the gazebo...have the geese now moved down to the lower fields? The lower fields did not use to have that many geese except right next to the lake and the wetland area.

juniper:
All over.... droppings everywhere.  As I said in an earlier post,
a family could not walk their puppy there, it was
so gross. The point is, it needs to be cleaned up.  Geese like water, so naturally they will migrate to it and that means the lake, then any surroundings.  All we
had at one school was a stream in front of it,
down by the road.  The enire field was shut down -
no sports for one month. and, that was just a stream that brought them in by the hundreds. So,
one can imagine what the lake brings.
