The 124-foot Ada Hayden Heritage Park Fishing Pier will hold a dedication ceremony at 11:30 a.m. Saturday.

Following the dedication of the new fishing pier, Jax Outdoor Gear will hold a kids fishing derby at noon for those age 16 and under.

No fishing license is required for the event. The fishing derby will focus on casting skills, fishing safety and fish identification.

Located at the north end of the park, the new fishing pier is accessible from an asphalt trail near the main parking area.

The $187,000 project was funded, in part, with a $90,000 grant from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. The balance was provided by Mayor Ann Campbell and the City Council through local option sales tax funding.
