5-starFamily Fishing
This was a great event. My 5 year old son thoroughly enjoyed it. There were a lot of folks on hand to teach the little ones and the parents too. We had never been fishing but my son managed to catch 3 of them! (though they weren't big enough to keep). They rods and bait were all provided and as an added bonus they gave prizes to all the kids. Definitely plan to revist this park again this summer.
