A very nice area to take my 5 year old to fish. We did not catch anything, but the family next to us caught a lot! The parking lot is very close to the pond which was good we didnt need to carry everything too far. I did notice hone homeless people around father closer to the library, but they seem to know to leave the families alone.

Great place to take kids that have never been fishing and are starting to learn. All you need to catch some trout is some worms, a hook and a small weighted bobber. My kids caught 11 fish that day in a hour

This place is one of the only stocked (kids) pond in Colorado, i would say it’s a hidden treasure but it’s not hidden at all. I always catch fish here no matter what, when fishing at this pond don’t use lures! The fish are a custom to rainbow power bait, worms and flys if you fish off the boulder sticking out of the pond right in front of the parking lot you can see the fish and can cast right in front of there faces! I love to fish here and I highly suggest bringing your kids.

Amazing little pond for kids. We caught 8 rainbow trout in about 3 hours. Parking lot is right next to the ponds. It is popular and does get busy, so go early.

This place was beautiful in the winter. The pond was frozen over and was gorgeous. There were several guys there half naked doing exercise. One of them tried to explain the reasoning but I didnt follow. There were several families there enjoying the weather. It was cold but a clear sunny day.

Boulder creek runs behind it, it also makes the ponds for the children. Parkinn lot is for the justice court monday -friday 7am to 5 pm. Great spot for rafting and playing in the water during the hot days of summer.

Pretty cool little fishing pond right in the city of Boulder. Its stocked and perfect for little kids and introducing them to the sport of fishing. Had a good time with my 3 year old and I intend on frequenting Piersons Pond until I can graduate him to river fishing or a larger body of water.

Caught a 17 inch 2lb rainbow in there. Was delicious. Well, it would’ve been if some old lady told me not to keep it, although the rules state otherwise.

Hey Im not really trying to get my age but I actually if its there as a kid learning how to catch trout thats a cool place but theres also taking the kids out to Walden Ponds open year-round and as long as you put the kids on the Open Water Walden Farms kind of delivers Im a fisherman so just saying if youre talking about for your kids take him to the place where even though all guys will help you teach your kids how to fish my dads there all the time

Alway my kids enjoy the ponds

Very small public park that would appeal to young children interested in a running creek, fishing (or watching other kids fish). There is some big, flat, boulders, to cross the stream, at one area, and even my 4yo was fine going across on a rainy day with me holding her hand. It is beautiful here... you can continue past this fishing pond area on both ends to keep walking with nature.

We have yet to actually catch a fish, though we have seen others be successful. Even now at the very end of September we were able to spot fish swimming around (just no luck catching any).The setting is very pretty. Lots of nice places to stand on the edge of the pool. Also a decent place for pictures with the pretty setting, though it is usually somewhat busy.

Very disappointed!! The website made it sound like it was one of those fishing pond places where kids are guaranteed to catch fish. Its not!! On the other hand, the park is very pretty and clean.

Fish? What fish? Did I see any fish here? Were any fish caught? No, no and no. I dont know what people are saying that they catch all sorts of fish here. You could spend hours here and catch nothing but mosquito bites and watch all the homeless meander by. Its also a great place to be leered at by the homeless. Otherwise, skip this place. There be no fish here.
