Got to ask, how old is he? As has been pointed out above you really do get swarmed, and my 4 year old son did find it a tad scary.

My childs 8 and found it slightly unnerving so I agree, I would just be wary. 
They hardly come near in the Summer months when fed well but with not as much attention in later months they come right up looking for food (as in proper right up... touching distance!!) and there are a real load of them. Could be worrying for smaller children as the Geese aren't small.

You could always hold him out of harms way. Stand at the opposite end of the pond to where they are and he can watch them swim across. He'll still love it

Or just take him to watch them perhaps? Once they realise you have nothing for them they just tend to mill about.

There may be ducks in Sheffield 6, but it's a few years since they were at Bramall Lane trudging up the pavilion steps.

Last time I went <about 4 weeks ago> there were LOADS.
I suggest you raid a bakery so you don't get swarmed!!!!!
