3. How does your department determine residency in Ferguson in regards to rental fees?

If you live within Ferguson city limits and pay taxes in Ferguson, you are considered a resident. Non-residents may participate in many of our programs, but at a slightly higher fee rate.

4. Can I fish at the lake in January-Wabash Park? Is it stocked?

Fishing is permitted at the lake in January-Wabash Memorial Park. A City of Ferguson license is not required, but anglers must comply with all state of Missouri fishing regulations including a state fishing license for persons age 16 to 64, which are available at retail sporting goods stores.

The Missouri Department of Conservation stocks the lake, as well as enforces daily catch limits and manages the lake through the Urban Fishing Program. Ferguson Police officers may also enforce limits and permits. Please call the Missouri Department of Conservation at (636) 300-9651 for information.
