In conjunction with National Fishing and Boating Week, reel in some family fun with a free fishing event on June 6 from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. at Jones Bridge Park in Peachtree Corners.

Enjoy hot dogs and drinks, prizes, and fishing for all skill levels. A fishing rod and bait will be provided while supplies last, and demonstrators will be available to assist in baiting hooks and removing fish.

Buford Trout Hatchery will stock over 2,000 rainbow trout on the morning of the event! No fishing license necessary.

The event is in partnership with Kiwanis of Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Duluth and Johnsonville. Children ages 16 and under are invited to fish and must be accompanied by an adult. Life jackets are recommended.

All ages are welcome, and District 2 Commissioner Lynette Howard will be at the playground for a play date and make-and-take craft. For more information, call 678-277-0920 or visit www.gwinnettparks.com.

Jones Bridge Park is located at 4901 East Jones Bridge Road, Peachtree Corners.
