Pilling's Pond ，皮額靈生態池為本市一個私人的水禽生態池。

皮額靈幼年即對水鳥感興趣，12歲的時候就在家裏農場挖了一個池子養育三隻受傷的綠頭鴨，自此即展開他漫長的飼養和培育水鳥生涯。這，成了皮額靈終生志業。

去世之後，他的鄰居以及家人，成立了一個非盈利組織：Pilling's Pond Preservation Society，繼續這樁傳奇人物的偉業。

偶然經過，起初只是覺得住宅區的馬路旁有這麽個規模不小的池塘，蠻奇特的。後來看到説明的牌子，才知道這池大有來頭。

Pilling's Pond 皮額靈及其事跡。

In October 2001, Chuck Pilling died at 90 years of age. In 2005, David Kunkle, a long-time neighbor, purchased the property with the intention of preserving the pond's legacy. Since then, family members and neighbors, organized under the non-profit corporation, Pilling's Pond Preservation Society, have maintained the pond and have continued to preserve it as an educational resource, with the support of Puget Consumers Coop, who for over a decade has donated lettuce trimmings as a healthy staple diet for the birds.

Pilling's Pond as a non-commercial enterprise continues as a historical and educational resource for the Licton Springs neighborhood.（linju 註：皮額靈老家原為農場，附近應該是林地，隨著都市發展，此池旁成爲學校）

At around 1933, Chuck Pilling dammed the creek that runs through the property from Licton Springs. This enabled him to provide a habitat that still exists and sustains a broad assortment of waterfowl today.
