TJ Evans Family Park is a City of Newark park in Licking County, Ohio, where the fishing centres on four former gravel pits that the city stocks regularly. It runs on its own permit system rather than a standard pay lake model: adults aged 18 to 64 buy an annual TJ Evans Family Park fishing permit from the city's Parks Department office on North Cedar Street, anglers 17 and under fish free, and seniors 65 and over can buy a one time lifetime permit. The park is closed from dusk to dawn and shuts for the season from 1 December to 1 March, so check the City of Newark parks pages for current permit prices before visiting.
