Fishing Pond Information

Originally an old University of Colorado gravel pit, this area was redeveloped into a children's fishing pond in 1949 by the Boulder Fish and Game Club. The club stocks the pond with fish and volunteers to provide maintenance. They stock approximately three thousand fish each year from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
