Stark's Pond is a boating lake in the town of South Park. It was a popular location for children to visit for camping, fishing, kayaking and ice-skating when the surface freezes over. The pond was destroyed when a Wall-Mart was built on top of it in Season Eight's "Something Wall-Mart This Way Comes". Unusually, despite the basic design of the area in earlier seasons, after its appearance was redesigned and the animation was improved, the old appearance was later used again. The boys bring up Stark's Pond to comfort Kenny in "Kenny Dies", saying they'll go camping there once he's better. Butters usually comes and plays alone in Stark's Pond, as revealed in "Casa Bonita".
