New Holland Cops and Kids Fishing Tournament

Spend a summer afternoon outdoors at the New Holland Cops and Kids Fishing Tournament, a free, family-friendly event hosted by the New Holland Police Department.

Held at New Holland Park, this youth fishing tournament is designed to bring kids and local officers together for a fun and positive community experience. Whether it’s a child’s first time fishing or a favorite hobby, this event is a great way to enjoy the outdoors in Pickaway County.

Young anglers will compete in age-based categories:

• Ages 2–5
• Ages 6–10
• Ages 11–17

Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each category.

In addition to fishing, families can enjoy free snacks and drinks, face painting, and special visitors throughout the event. Donations will be accepted to support the department’s Christmas for Kids program in December 2026.

No fishing license is required, making it easy for families to participate.

All children must be accompanied by a responsible adult, and a waiver must be signed by a parent or guardian.
