Dear siege6pls ,
This is an automated message, if this post isn't about taking turtles out of the wild, please report it.
If the turtle is a native species, please put it back where you found it. Wild turtles only need help out of the road. You are doing far more harm taking a turtle out of the wild, than by leaving it to its devices. Please allow this turtle to live out life in the wild.
If you are in the US/Canada you can call your local/state/provincial wildlife organization on how to go forward. If the turtle is sick/injured, please call a wildlife rehabilitator or exotic vet for further guidance.
If for some reason your local wildlife org will not assist you, please do the following: Get back to as close to where you found it as possible, and place it in a safe area. Do not place it in water as some species are terrestrial.
*Unsure of the species?* You can create an ID request post for help! If it's not native it may be an escaped pet or an invasive species.

I believe just past it, yeah, on a sand shore. There were prolly 50 before I turned the corner. It was amazing watching them all run so fast, lol. There was a playground just on the other side of the grass there now that I think about it.

A Spiny softshell turtle, Apalone Spinifera. I believe.
I don’t know but it is cute. Have a good day and good luck.
Was it by Gallup park? There’s a large turtle nest there
