I work for Metro and am in Shelby park daily, no carp there. Just catfish, bluegill and bass. Then they stock trout there in the winter.

Yes, you are allowed to fish in centennial park. Actually some really nice bass, and big bluegill in there. And the carp/buffalo, whatever they are, are absolutely huge.

But metro is proposing a lake restoration project for centennial. It includes draining and dredging it, reactivating a spring and refilling. May not happen for a few years. But in the long run, might make it a better fishing pond! Who knows!
