MOLINE, Ill. (KWQC) - Moline Parks & Recreation is introducing it’s new tool the Goosinator which they say will help deter geese from high-use areas.

Moline’s Goosinator will be in action at:

Riverside Park and pond

Trails and shelters along Ben Butterworth Parkway

Riverside Riverslide parking lot

The Goosinator will be operated by Moline Parks Maintenance staff throughout the coming weeks and months, officials said.

“The Goosinator will allow us to better manage geese populations throughout our parks in a responsible and humane way,” said Director of Parks and Recreation, Eric Griffith.
