• What To Do
  • Fishing

    Enjoy year-round fishing at this in-town stocked pond. Stocked between February and early June, thousands of fish from nearby hatcheries find their way to the Jefferson Park Pond.

• 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.

• When To Go

  Jefferson Park Pond is open year-round, so anytime your kiddo wants to fish is the time to go. We suggest checking the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife website for current stocking information.

• How To Get There

  Located at 607 Malcolm Street, this park is adjacent to the Walla Walla County Fairgrounds and Garrison Middle School. If driving down 9th Street, you'll notice the locomotive on display. The pond is very near that display. Turn on Malcolm Street to park.

Please do not solely rely on Google Maps as their route might not always reflect what is maintained.
