Centerpiece of many a park

Usage examples of duckpond.

Between the barn and the stable was a wide, shallow duckpond, calmly reflecting the sky.

A large bay window gave a magnificent view of the back lawn, the barn, and the duckpond, which was partially screened with alders.

The alders were bare and skeletal, the duckpond between the two houses a slatelike, bare expanse.

Two windows were driven in by hail, and the windstorm picked up a low picket fence surrounding a quaint little gazebo on the far side of the duckpond and threw it sixty yards, but that was the extent of the damage (except for flying branches and some ruined flowerbeds-more work for the groundskeeping force).

On the other side of the duckpond, near the other house, two horses cantered lazily along.

She and John rode on the bridle paths that wove their way across the Shop grounds, moving in and out of the toy forest of sugarpines and skirting the duckpond, never doing more than an easy canter, but in her dreams she and Necromancer galloped together, faster and faster, through a real forest.

Some of them swirled into the duckpond, where they floated like small boats.

They were still on the far side of the duckpond, five minutes' walk away.

Then she made out Sonny's dark shadowy form at the far edge of the back yard, looking over the duckpond into the blackness of the woods behind the farmhouse.

She just strides down the path to the duckpond and looks into it and sees the four ducks.
