Gilbert public-safety personnel from Fire and Rescue, Police Department, and park rangers will host a free community fishing event this Saturday from 8-11 a.m. at Gilbert Regional Park’s lake.

The event partners with Arizona Game and Fish to offer fishing poles for check out, bait, light snacks, and guidance — all anglers age 10 and older must show a valid license — while supplies last.
