My first day here would stay uncomplicated and the first places I would give a fair shot are the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because the goal on day one is to learn a pattern, not prove you can fish the entire shoreline.
What the fish list tells you
The exact-water list for Washington Park Pond includes Largemouth Bass, and Northern Pike; which makes it reasonable to try weeds, wood, rock, or docks for bass and weed lines and baitfish areas for pike or musky, and keep one good idea at a time instead of changing everything.
Where I would start
If I had never seen Washington Park Pond before, I would bring a couple of dependable baits, fish the best-looking water I can reach, and pay attention to what the first few bites have in common, and I would make sure the current DNR rules match the species I am actually fishing for.
