Français: Cet étang urbain est un petit bout de nature en pleine ville, qui peut réserver quelques bonnes surprises. Site urbain très facile d'accès permettant d'observer facilement quelques espèces communes et où l'on croise parfois quelques visiteurs plus rares. L'observateur explorera le plan d'eau mais aussi les rives végétalisées et notamment les zones à phragmites. Les arbres d'alignement à proximité méritent aussi d'être parcourus de même que les pelouses et buissons voisins. Le clocher de l'église Saint-Joseph toute proche accueille parfois les faucons crécerelle et pèlerin. Environ 90 espèces ont été observées sur l'étang et à ses abords.
