The City of Parkland Annually holds a four-part youth fishing tournament at the fishing pier at Pine Trails Park in the heart of the city. With fishing dates in May, June, July, and the last installment in August, young contestants compete for prizes for largest fish, smallest fish, most fish caught, and more.
This annual summer event is enjoyed by the youth who participate and their parents alike. The next tournament date is Saturday, June 15th just in time for Father’s Day! Followed by Saturday, July 13th and the final date is scheduled for Saturday, August 10th. All three dates run from 8:00 am through 10:00 am with the awards presented immediately after.
