Fishing

Black Park lake offers iconic scenic views and great fishing opportunities for beginners. Just 100 metres from the car park, it’s easily accessible from footpaths with several benches.

The footpaths are very busy during weekends and peak periods and this will limit casting for anglers.

Day tickets and annual permits run from 16 June 2026 to 14 March 2027 and can be purchased from 16 June 2026 onwards.

You can fish at Black Park during the open season by purchasing an annual permit or day ticket. You must have a valid Environment Agency rod licence to fish.

Fishing is only permitted during the open season within car park opening hours (8am to seasonal closing time daily).

Blue green algae is present in Black Park Lake.

Black Park Lake is not a stocked lake. The most common types of fish found at the lake are smaller fish such as Rudd and Roach along with Pike. Pike are tricky to catch requiring a dedicated specialist approach.

Black Park operates a yearly closed season from 15 March to 15 June.
