Local Environmental Conditions
The waterside growth here is largely hazel and willow, both efficient wind-pollen dispersers, a short distance from here. This area, in the wider area, has this park's mix of turf and landscaped trees contributes a modest grass and ragweed pollen load. Local wind exposure and land use can shift the exact mix slightly from block to block.
Along the waterway, hazel and willow release pollen first, starting well before the main spring rush, topping out around March. Grass pollen rises through late spring toward a June high point, with ragweed then rising to the fore from mid-August through October. Small variations in local weather can nudge these windows a few days in either direction.

Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
