Retention Basin Park
...
You are standing in a 12 acre shallow basin. The floodwall behind you and the edge of I-95 ahead, and to your left make up the easy-to-see boundaries. During a very heavy rain storm this area is designed to flood. Runoff from the streets of Manchester and other parts of south Richmond pond up here, if the piping to the treatment plant is overwhelmed... or if the gates to the floodwall are closed due to a flood. |
