Description
King Park Pond, known locally as King Park Lagoon, is a ½-acre pond located at King Park on the north side of Pittsfield, Illinois. This urban pond is in a park setting with picnic areas, a community pool, and playgrounds nearby.Fishery History
The pond was dredged in late winter 2024 to clean out sediment that has accumulated over the years. The previous maximum water depth was 4-5 feet, while the average depth was 2-3 feet. Dredging reclaimed the original depth in the pond (8 feet), providing a more suitable environment for fish. Fish species re-stocked include Largemouth Bass, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, and Rainbow Trout. Anglers are asked to please resist the temptation to stock other species.Site Regulations
