🐢 Calling All Turtle Memories! 🐢

Our famous park turtle has been a beloved Robinson City Park landmark for over 50 years, and we’re feeling a little nostalgic! 💚

We know generations of families have climbed on it, posed beside it, and made memories there. Now we want to see them all!

📸 Do you have a photo with the turtle? Whether it’s you, your kids, grandkids, parents, or friends, we’d love for you to share it in the comments!

🗓️ If you can, include the approximate year the photo was taken. We can’t wait to see all the smiles, memories, and how much (or how little!) the turtle has changed over the decades.

Let’s take a trip down memory lane together! 💚🐢
