JCPRD trout permits are still required if fishing for trout at Shawnee Mission and Kill Creek Park lakes. Regular park hours for these days are 5 am to 11 pm at Kill Creek, Lexington Lake, Meadowbrook, Heritage, and Shawnee Mission parks, 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. at Antioch Park, and dawn to dusk at the Stoll and the Streamway parks.
