For a short fishing trip at Greenfield Park Pond in Mesa, enter the public lot off East Pueblo Avenue and walk west from the playground. Arizona Game and Fish lists an accessible fishing pier here. Check the pond’s posted catch limits before you cast, especially if you usually fish Red Mountain Lake or Riverview Lake.
Enter the parking lot from Pueblo Avenue
The City of Mesa park listing and state fishing record use 4105 E Diamond Ave for Greenfield Park. For the marked lot, turn west onto East Pueblo Avenue from South Greenfield Road and use the driveway on the north side of Pueblo. Mesa’s aerial map and park base map label the park 4320 E Pueblo Ave and show the lot next to the playground and restrooms.
From the lot, take the path west past the horseshoe area to the pond’s east end. Look for the signed fishing access as you reach the water. If you need a step-free route all the way from your vehicle to the casting position, call Mesa Parks at 480-644-2352 to confirm the current route and surface conditions.
Use the pier or choose a clear bank
The Arizona Game and Fish pond record lists an ADA fishing pier. If the pier is busy, follow the path and choose an open bank where posted rules allow fishing and you have room behind you to cast. Keep tackle clear of the path and wait for walkers to pass before casting. The park lists sunrise to 10 p.m. hours. Boating, swimming and wading are prohibited. The pond record also lists a pet restriction, so check with Mesa before bringing a pet.
Check the pond’s smaller catch limits
Arizona generally requires a fishing or combination license for anglers age 10 and older. The pond’s daily limits are 2 catfish, 2 trout, 1 bass at least 13 inches long, 5 sunfish and 1 white amur at least 30 inches long. Statewide limits apply to other species. Check the posted signs before keeping fish and use the state stocking schedule to plan around trout or catfish.
Plan a short outing or a backup
Bring water and sun protection for the walk across the park, and a layer if you’re going early in cooler weather. A small tackle bag makes it easy to move off the pier when it gets busy. Pack out used hooks and line.
For another east Mesa bank trip, compare the two approaches at Red Mountain Lake. For west Mesa, see Riverview Lake’s Cubs Way approach. Find more Arizona outdoor guides in the Destinations index, or browse the OutdoorsAdventures4U shop before your next outing.
