Oh, thought! Since going deeper might be a problem, go up. Build walls, water proof it, and set up a grated lid, like fencing panels, set up so that you can feed the fish, air flow isn’t restricted, and you can lock the top to comply with city ordinance.
I’m presuming you’re up north, where 2 ft is too shallow. So to do the pond redo, I would recommend you dig it 2 ft deep, line it with brick or other structural support, add rebar, build the walls about 2 1/2 ft above ground, line it with a foam insulation panels, then a pond liner. Just remember to add a way to attach the fence panels lid, so that it could be removed or opened up so that you can get in there if needed.
