I was sad to see Porta potties there vs the bathrooms being open... But I guess that's how it goes these days? The bad Porta pottie was in bad shape Porta potties don't have sanitizer in them ... Definitely had serious bugs in them.... Unfortunate Will try to get out here again sometime. If only the parks department sent someone out weekly this could be a nice area!

This is a beautiful 60-acre park in Bethany, with miles of walking trails, plus basketball courts,…read moresoccer fields, picnic tables and shelters and more. I love the openness of this park. Sometimes trees are nice, but I like that this park has many open expanses for kids to run and play in a very safe space. Softball, basketball and soccer areas are here also - though I don't know much about reserving them or anything. There are a few different playground areas, and admittedly, these could use some updating, but I think there are lots of places with splash pads and new playground equipment - what Eldon Lyon provides is room, and lots of it. In a time when parents feel they can't just let their kids roam free in the neighborhoods and the creek beds of our youth, this park helps address that need. I love the two mile trail that loops around and sometimes through the entire park, the nice picnic areas, and people watching.

This is a great little park in Bethany. For the most part it's a pretty quite park. There are…read moremany people who come out to walk/run the 1.5 mile sidewalk trail around the park. The walk around the park is nice and flat and there are even distance markers so you know how far you've gone. There are several ares with many picnic tables. There are two playground areas for kids and several wide open fields. These fields would be great for getting together with friends and playing ultimate, kickball, or soccer if they were not full of stickers that will cover your socks and shoes if you walk through them. Overall, if you need a good afternoon walk or a shaded playground for the kids, I would recommend this park.

There were several unlabeled smaller trails that bring you to the waters edge and to some cute tree abodes. Not a lot of wildlife this time of year but I am excited to see it in a different season of life. There are benches in the parking lot positioned perfectly to witness an Oklahoma sunset. That being said, I am taking off a star because I'm pretty sure we witness a human being pooping just off of the main path on our way back to the car...

It hasn't rained for a week, so there was nothing flooded to the point of being sloppy or impassable. - Good shade canopy for most of the trail. Some of it hangs down low, which is mildly annoying. There is also some tall grass and plant life growing along the trail that you will have to dodge. - Nice shaded bench area which is perfect for a post-run cool down.

To think someone has worked extremely hard for hours to set up these lights for our enjoyment. This year we did see some new things, the guitars that were beautiful and a blue tree that was stunning. Things may be the same , not sure, but I seem to see some I might of missed or forgot from previous years. The train is something we have never done, just too cold for me. Still cute to see running around the other lights. You will need to make sure you visit all 3 of the areas. Also it's a tradition for us to pull through the one neighborhood that is right past the main display then proceed to next area. I want to mention that they take donations! After our recent visit to Branson lights, with a price of $25.00 a car and weekdays $20.00, we should all be putting in a little extra! Times are hard for some but lights are totally worth seeing so if you can help balance it out for the families that are hurting in the pocket book. $$. Get there early to line up , like 5:30 and plan at least 1 to 2 hours. You can park and walk alittle, take pictures, listen to music and be in the most peaceful place in this Covid time of our lives.
