Growing up in our community, The Big Fish at The Pines Mall was more than a mere decoration; it was the heart of our childhood adventures. Many of us fondly remember the joy and excitement of climbing over it, exploring every nook, and sliding gracefully out of its mouth. Such fond memories have shaped our youths and connected us deeply to our hometown.

Unfortunately, as time has passed, the mall has fallen into disrepair. Despite its potential for renewal, the current mall owner has continually resisted efforts to redevelop and breathe life back into the space. Recently, a fire has left our beloved Big Fish in a precarious situation, urging us to act swiftly to preserve this piece of local nostalgia.

My vision is to have The Big Fish restored and prominently relocated to the Saracen Splash Pad. This accessible community space would be an ideal location, allowing newer generations to make cherished memories like we once did. A revived Big Fish at the splash pad would not only serve as a symbol of our community's resilience but would also contribute to local tourism, drawing visitors and families to this vibrant gathering spot.

To make this dream a reality, we call upon our local government, private benefactors, and community leaders to collaborate. Restoration experts could be engaged to ensure the Big Fish is safely and beautifully repaired. With the right support and resources, the move to Saracen Splash Pad can be accomplished efficiently and sustainably. This project would serve as a powerful reminder of our community's willingness to preserve its heritage and invest in its future happiness.

We need your support to save The Big Fish and transform it into a beacon of joy for future generations. Sign this petition today to show that preserving our shared history matters. Let's come together to ensure that the laughter and memories continue for years to come.
