Something though, or else no new Patio
I always thought the lake was necessary to the park because it was a detention pond as well. I agree they will keep something, probably not as large.
I am hoping they finish off the edges of the "new Lake Silver" with slutty concrete, or formed sides... anything besides raw dirt,,maybe the water ill stay cleaner,
Maybe a fountain in the middle to keep it from becoming stagnant..
I would like to to see it become the new retention pond, that way the water would be constantly cycled and moved around- again, keep it from being stagnent, or stale, or trashy like the old lake..
