DOTHAN, Ala (WDNews) – Eastgate Park’s Pond will be closed to the general public from July 17 to 21, 2024. However, there are special events planned for specific groups during this time. On July 19, Dothan Leisure Services summer camp participants will enjoy a camp fishing day. That same evening, Therapeutic participants will have a family fishing event.
The main highlight is Dothan Leisure Services’ 27th Annual Youth Fishing Day on July 20, from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. This event invites children ages 5 to 15 to discover the joys of fishing at Eastgate Park’s Pond.
Children are encouraged to bring their own tackle, bait, and stringer as they compete for prizes awarded to the first, second, and third place catchers. The event aims to foster a sense of competition, camaraderie, and a love for the outdoors. All children must be accompanied by an adult, and supplies are limited and given on a first-come, first-served basis.
