Summary
This small pond is near the Walla Walla County Fairgrounds and Garrison Middle School. It is open year-round for fishing, and is stocked several times a year. From February to June, the pond receives hundreds of 10-12 inch rainbow trout with the occasional jumbo rainbow trout. Since this pond is only open to kids 14 and younger, this is an easy outdoor activity for the family.
WHAT TO EXPECT

This park offers something for the entire family. Play structures and a small swimming pool might help keep younger siblings occupied. Basketball courts help pass the time for those over 14 years old. There are shaded spots to escape the sun if patiently waiting for the big one to bite.
Amenities Parking and public restrooms are available. The park is located across the street from Super 1 Foods (grocery store) if in need of a snack.
Regulations Only two trout over 13 inches may be retained as part of the five trout daily limit. Two-pole fishing is not allowed. Keep dogs on a leash.
Field Notes The City of Walla Walla hosts a fishing derby in early spring. They close the pond and stock with hundreds of trout the day before the event. Local sponsors typically have poles available to borrow, and prizes are given out throughout the event. Make the kids catch dinner!
