The Pond

Our large 12-acre horseshoe-shaped man-made pond offers a lovely place to relax and enjoy the day. The pond has been identified as a protected wildlife sanctuary. It is home to a variety of bird species, carp, largemouth bass and many pan fish.

 

Ice skating, fishing and remote control boats are not permitted on Centennial Park pond.

That'd be the one

[eze76]

Yuppers..

 

Okie Dokie well i see alot of ppl fishing there...

 

Ive gone there a couple times haven't caught anything but a sunfish or two :| LOL

 

only reason i go there is because its a short bike ride away

[rbaquial]

Better not to go there - if you are caught fishing there, i'm assuming it'd be a hefty fine...

[camillj]

Thats news to me .. I can walk there and often do ... and almost ALWAYS see people fishing there ... I have never seen anything other than panfish .. and I have never seen or heard of them being told to stop .... but it has never had any appeal to make me want to wet a line ... kinda like needing to go to the other side of your lake to fish .. just too close to home

[douG]

That pond is my backyard.

[eze76]

That is the only reason i go there is because its close and when i have no where else to go i got there just to fish..

 

Ive caught a couple sunfish lol and i think theirs some catfish in there don't know what else tho

[eze76]

LOL well im only 16 would feel kinda awkward but i still go out fishing at the credit and stuff...

 

Its just that its really close

[charlesn]

I had no idea about that rule. About 10 years ago when I worked in etobicoke, I would drive thru Cent Park every day just for the relaxing drive and view. I stopped once and fished the horseshoe shaped pond after work. I caught 1 crappie, 2 largies and and a bunch of sunnies. I saw several guys with serious carp gear.

 

You'd think they could put up a sign or two if it is a sanctuary. I walked the entire perimeter just about and saw no signage but several other anglers.

 

Oh well, I broke the speed limit once on the 401 too so maybe it's just that I am a scofflaw.
