Sarg Hubbard Park — Attraction in Yakima

Love this pond for fishing for the kids, disabled, and seniors.watch the stock reports posted on the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife website to help keep track of the best time to go with the kids so they have better. chances of catching something. Stocked with carp, sunfish, perch, trout and some huge catfish , (but good luck on catching them.) This pond has 5 docks and plenty of bank spots to fish from. Best time to go is early in the am and again around 4-5 pm.

From the fish to the muskrats and beavers to the mallard ducks and Canadian geese and dont forget to watch closely you will hear the shrill call of an osprey as they swoop down and grab a fish from the pond to take back to their nest. Dont forget to take pictures of the kiddos face when they land their first fish....

Sarg Hubbard is a large park on the Yakima Greenway. (The Greenway office is on the northern edge of the park.)

There is also a pond which is inhabited by Canada geese (so watch out for goose poo on the lawns and sidewalks!) For the conscientious dog-walker, there are Doggie Clean-up bags provided by the park. Dogs are required to be on a leash. One of my favorite...

Besides not being able to fully get my wheelchair into the womens supposed wheelchair bathroom the restroom has nothing to help stabilize oneself to transfer from chair to toilet. The sink has such a small basin and to large a counter for wheelchair bodies to wash their hands and the soap is to high to even get, the paper towels were available however so thats what I had to use after relieving myself. The park is quiet however if wheelchair bound and noone to help ya dont expect to go to the waters edge because its a straight downhill shot into the waters middle rather then the edge. Maybe next time yakima decides to build something for the public to enjoy they will hire someone who is in a wheelchair to design it so that everyone can enjoy it rather...
