A colossal inflatable rubber duck mysteriously appeared in Willow Creek Park early Tuesday morning, baffling residents and city officials alike. The gargantuan bath toy, estimated to be over fifty feet tall, bobbed serenely in the park’s central pond, drawing curious onlookers and a flurry of social media activity.
Authorities are currently investigating the origin of the duck, with no group or individual yet claiming responsibility. “We’ve seen our share of strange things, but this is certainly a first,” commented Park Ranger Brenda Davies. “It’s definitely brought smiles to a lot of faces, though.”
The duck has become an instant, albeit unofficial, local attraction, with families flocking to the park for a closer look and photo opportunities. The city council is reportedly considering whether to charge admission for duck-viewing, though a final decision has not been made.
