Fort Reno Park Closed Immediately and Indefinitely

Fort Reno Park... is closed immediately and indefinitely after United States Geological Survey satellite imaging reports found high levels of arsenic in the soil.

This is the park that we use for rugby practice. We are supposed to be reassured by the fact that you can only get arsenic in your system through ingestion... but this is not particularly reassuring when you play rugby, a sport in which you use a mouthguard (that you'd better believe is frequently dropped in the mud) and spend a lot of time on the ground literally "eating dirt."

I guess this is what happens when you attend a university that was a WWI military base/weapons development center...
