Hooked On Fishing Park

Hooked On Fishing Park is gearing up for our 17th season, opening May 4th! We are open to the public every Sunday from noon until 4pm with the exception of Mother’s Day and Father’s Day when we close so that our team can be with their families. We’re so proud to bring outdoor experiences to our community as we strive to introduce them to a better quality of life and better overall mental health because of the time they have spent outside. 

Fishing is almost secondary to what goes on at our park. Memories, time together as a family, fresh air, and real-life experiences away from technology and social media are where the magic happens. We invite you to come fish with us and to see for yourself the positive impact the outdoors can have on you. We provide all of the necessary equipment, bait, and a team of volunteers to teach and assist in your journey to becoming an avid angler. As always, we do not charge anyone for our services, but we do encourage donations to keep our park going and growing. 

We’re excited to welcome our friends from Wolve’s Den Pizzeria to the park for opening day with hopes of continuing to have local food trucks frequently through the season on Sundays. 

Our park is also open on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays by reservations for organizations who serve kids, senior citizens, military veterans, or individuals with special needs. To make a reservation, you can visit us online at hookedonfishingpark.org. 

In addition to our regular programming at our park, we also provide off-site programs with our mobile unit. If you have a facility with access to fishable water, we’d love to partner with you and provide educational fishing experiences for your organization.
