Glenn & Pamela Bateman opened Center Point Pond, Inc. in 1996. The pond, which was originally dug in the early 1950's by the James Bateman family, was used as a water hole for livestock. It was quickly expanded with the Bateman children having memories of swimming, fishing, boating, and skating at the pond. In 1992, Glenn shared his vision of a fishing pond with Pamela on one of their first dates as he quickly caught a large mouth bass. Today, the pond is open to the public for fishing. During the first few years the pond hosted thousands of children, many with special needs, who experienced fishing for the first time. The pond also plays host to adults as well as senior groups from local retirement communities.

When Glenn Bateman is not teaching children how to fish, he is advising about ponds & installing water features into backyards in the Delaware Valley. Glenn & Pam’s love of fishing and water gardening is obvious.
