The Botany pond has been in existence in the quad of the University of Chicago since 1902. The pond had a wide variety of animal and plant diversity, but nowadays is mostly koi and a smaller variety of plants. Still, it is a refreshing biological oasis within the major metropolitan area . There is a legend claiming that if a couple kisses on the bridge that spans the pond, they will end up marrying each other.
