I used to live in Parkersburg back in late 90's. I used to icefish a pond on Hwy 14 right near the Big Marsh north of P-burg. It was on east side. Kind of a square borrow pit pond--it had some nice bluegills in it then, with some crappies and bass in there as well. Be a good place to take a kid and it would be close to Allison for you as well. I believe it was a county park, and it had a parking lot which most of the time (unless really wet) you could park in.
