For a new-to-me lake like this, simple beats clever with my first few stops centered on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach and I would give the fish a chance to show me whether they want shallow cover or nearby depth.
The present inventory shows Black Crappie, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch at Root River Parkway Pond; which gives me a good reason to start with weeds and easy cover for panfish, and use the first few bites to narrow the plan.
If I were headed to Root River Parkway Pond tomorrow, I would fish the places that make sense for the species on the list and avoid chasing every rumor I heard online, and I would make a quick regulation check part of the trip plan, not an afterthought at the ramp.
