LMAO! I grew up in Refugio,Texas and in the late 90's they redid our park complete with trails, a soccer field and a basketball court. We also had a "beware of alligators sign" on the embankment behind the court. I can't tell you how many balls we had roll in the creek that ran through it, and we left them in there. Only once did an alligator actually come out of the water. We were more worried about snakes.
