    Pier overhangs the water & you can see fish & turtles from there. Trees offer great shade & there's a bench to sit & enjoy the view

    What a great local park! From a Clubhouse, covered pavilion, fishing pier, hike and bike trails, picnic tables, playgrounds, ponds, birds, ducks & turtles, this place is spectacular! Brought my almost 2yr old on a weekday afternoon to stretch his legs and get some sunshine. We had so much fun! He played on both playgrounds, we watched geese walk around, saw a man fish, watched turtles swim and saw ducks everywhere! There were people waking the large sidewalk surrounding the lake, people fishing, bird watching and jogging pushing strollers too. Lots of trees for shade and a cool breeze, if there is one. Well kept and clean. There were enough people around I felt safe as well. I'm pretty sure I saw public restrooms, but I'm not positive, and I don't know the hours of operation either. We'll definitely be back! ----- Developed in 1991, Bethany Lakes Park is a 40-acre community park with passive recreation amenities.

    Multi-functional park for literally EVERYONE!…read more Fitness Enthusiasts: There are softball fields and a cricket pitch. There is a built in exercise station. I see cross-fit groups out here all the time. There is a huge running/walking/biking loop around the entire park and connecting to other routes. I think also some kids soccer groups also play here. Families: there is a very large playground with benches and shade! It's top notch and well maintained. Tweens/teens- there are benches and sick places to hang. You can even bring hammocks. There is plentiful parking. Picnic tables. Families often come out on nights with solar events and their telescopes. To be fair it is super well lit so it may not be the best place for star gazing, but you get many people to interact with. Plus let me add for Pokémon Go players- three gyms and 6 Pokéstops so this makes for excellent playing.

    It could go either way rating this great park. I will leave the specifics of that to a later update…read morereview. Today I want to describe why I am here. Passing this park on an out-of-the-way side street for the last two years, I noticed a "workout area" towards the entrance to the park. I made a mental note to stop and check it out but, never did until today. I usually work out daily at the recreation center but, recently due to Omnicron, I've been looking for an interesting outside place to get some exercise. I remembered passing this place and decided to check it out. On pulling up I was initially disappointed. I guess I thought the structure should be bigger, more interesting, more challenging! then I started using it. Bam!!! Hello! I thought I was in decent shape for my age but, boy was I wrong. I couldn't even make it through a few exercises on this "adult playground"!!!! It just shows you can't judge a book by its cover or make assumptions. You have to Do It. this great little outdoor gym known as the Miracle is just that. In a fairly small area, several exercises are demonstrated via placard if you need them. It will wear you out, challenge you in ways you didn't anticipate. I'm so glad I found this outdoor place to exercise in the fresh air at this time. I feel I'm getting a type of physical challenge that I didn't inside a gym. Definite Go!

    Lots to do in this park while you are waiting on your kids at Allen High school…read more It's pretty and covers some distance so walkers/runners can get in a few miles plus it connects to another trail. Many people come here for family photos on the little bridge. Very quaint. There are ball fields here too. Plus some Pokémon Go can be played. Several gyms and stops. It's not bad for trainers. Several parking areas make it easy to access. And it has several access points as well. Abuts the high school.

    Allen Station Park is a Beautiful Park that celebrates the history of when this was a watering…read morestation for the old steam locomotives coming through Allen, TX . It is within eyesight of the Allen Eagle Stadium. There are beautiful, walking trails and bicycling paths. Much of the length of some of the trails runs along the creek. Today the park also pays host to sporting events, though it's homage to yesteryear is not lost. This 125 acre park offers a variety of activities for people. There is a BMX track and skate park, baseball/softball diamonds, hiking & biking trails, grill and picnic table, a playground, and more. I was just here for a stroll. I had been at the dam site on the other side of Exchange Parkway, and there was a trail connecting the two areas that I walked. It was a nice paved trail that is protected by surveillance cameras. It's always good to feel safe! Review #2110
