Natural Ecosystem: Stony Creek Park
Natural Ecosystem: Stony Creek Metro Park
Natural Ecosystem: Stony Creek Metro Park
My pick for this park was based on the fact that this was made in to a natural ecosystem in 1964. A plan was drawn to make this park by making a dam and creating a 500 acre lake in the center of a 4,461 acre land section from the stony creek (a tributary of the Clinton River). Once the dam was formed the lake was made, and the park came together. There are many plants and wildlife in this park, and fish in the lake. This park is a great place to go for any relaxation or for fun. There is a wide selection of things to do which include a full 18 hole golf course and disc golf course.
The major structure and functional dynamic for making this park was to create a natural ecosystem bigger than what it already was. By increasing the size of the ecosystem it increased the functionality for wildlife and plant life to become more diverse. Once this ecosystem started to grow, there became a need to maintain the growth and keep it from turning to wasted land or a busted ecosystem. At one time the dam that makes the lake had to be repaired before it caused an issue with the balance of the water in the lake and for the creek, and the park in general. At one point the creek actually dried up to the point it caused a problem in the park for the lake. Lake levels went down making it hard to make the now natural lake lose water plant life.
The effect that humans have on this park did not cause the issue with the water lose, but there is a negative effect to the park due to pollution from garbage, car exhaust, and the natural waste of the ecosystem. Cars diving around create food for plants to turn the carbon waste in to air, but there is also the fact of the car that leaks oil or gas on the ground and making a chemical waste pollution. This waste can be very damaging to an ecosystem to the point that it can kill the wildlife, plant life, and even hurt humans. Humans are a good
