GONE FISHING:

Urban Fishing Laws - Hartford Mill Pond: 

Only persons under 16 years or those with resident disabled fishing license may fish on designated urban fishing waters during the special season.  Dates of the special season will be posted at all designated urban fishing waters.

The City's dog park area, located south of the baseball diamonds at Independence Park, has been going through a number of changes. The designated off-leash area is being fenced in. Amenities such as a waste station, canopy bench and other benches will be added by Eagle Scout Caleb Jordan as part of his Eagle Scout project.

Bernd Park:

This park site, located between the Recreation Center and City Hall along the Rubicon River, will be graded, seeded and landscaped over the Fall. Walk/bike trails and park benches will be added for enjoyment of this small green-space along the river.

Memorial Trees:

A living memorial can be planted in honor of a loved one or friend in one of the City Parks. Contact the Parks and Recreation office at 670-3730 for details on costs and plantings. Plantings will be done during the spring and fall seasons.
