Reason for the name is it's located next to an industrial park. It's good for mountain biking, hiking, walking or running. It can get muddy during times of rain and if it's too bad they will close it. Dogs are welcome as long as they are leashed. There is a nice paved parking area with plenty of green space to sit and rest. Today there was some folks with a pop up tent cover, mountain bikes and they were grilling. Highly rated and usually I crowded and peaceful.

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.

They've really done a nice job with this park and the views while running on the river are amazing.

My Alumni group have rented this place for the past 3 yrs, why would we think they'd hand us a…read moredirty facility. The host had everything circled on the contract so my fellow committee member signed it, then we began setting up. Our rental started 15 mins after the designated time they had us arrive. No one had cleaned, disinfected, mopped or made any effort to prepare for a 7 hr event. At $60 and hour we asked for 2 hrs refund due to having to clean up their mess, & later a water spill from their AC unit in the entry way. Ms. Morgan was rude when I talked with her, knowing the pics I'd sent clearly showed lack of professionalism on her part. We found a huge pile of nasty dead (& a few live bugs) in a corner where the chairs & tables take up space. Also around the room we found that it had not been swept, it certainly hadn't been mopped. Airborne illnesses are still a problem in today's world, so it makes no sense to rent a filthy facility to anyone! We had to cut our event short & clean up since people began to leave. I was so disappointed with all the work we'd put into planning, then to be treated like we just didn't matter. We signed in good faith, believing the place was cleaned, at a minimum. That was not the case.

You can see some pretty greenery in the spring and summer. There's a little stream and a walking bridge that you can go over. There's a dog park for small dogs and big dogs. Sometimes I notice people in the small dog park with large dogs, so we are not able to go in. Little annoying. Most of the people do not pick up their dog's poop along the trail. Good to go for a nice summer day for outdoor activities.

There are several spots to camp, which is what we are primarily interested in seeing. There are four parks that make up Arcadia Lake as a whole. Central State Park, Spring Creek Park, Scissortail campground, and Edmond Park. We started at Central State Park and then quickly moved onto Edmond Park. We were more impressed by what we saw at Edmond Park vs what we saw at the larger Central State Park. The campsites definitely have more space and a more private feel to them. And some of them are safely located near the water. Each campground also has bathroom facilities, although they weren't super clean (it's a campground so they are never immaculate) and they did smell. Each site has parking, one cement table, a fire ring and trash cans. My husband and I both feel that the sites here are more pleasant because they have more trees, they are more spacious and they have more grassy areas.

We stayed in Scissortail and because of the awesome Camp Host, Carrie, ended up with the best spot in the campground for our first trip. It had amazing views of the lake and the sunset!

It is difficult to drive all the way out there not knowing if you can get a spot.

Review # 46…read more Location: 6120 N Western Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73118; the site of Chesapeake Energy's Campus Headquarters, in the Nichols Hills suburb. It is south of Nichols Hills Plaza and NW 63rd Street; across from Whole Foods Market. Specifics: This Park is actually a green roofing over a two level parking garage for the employees of Chesapeake Energy (CE). It has 235,392 square feet of underground parking, with 395 parking spaces, and connects to the two campus buildings. The athletic field has a walking and running path, with the center area free for sports or company events. There is exercise equipment when you first walk up the stairs to the park before you reach the center. During the Christmas holidays they have a giant Christmas tree in the center, with large boxes wrapped as decorations. The trees surrounding the area and the fence are covered with Christmas lights as well. Concept: CE wanted to build a natural turf athletic field over the parking garage with an open perimeter for air circulation; providing a nice view for the city, while also providing a way to reduce heat and collect rain water. The green rooftop replaces the green space taken by a building, lowers the temperature of the building, keeps extra storm water drainage from overflowing, and extends and protects the roof; while also reducing energy costs and requirements. History: This site was a 1970's office park called 3 Chopt Square, until CE bought it in 1988 to start the energy company. In November 2009, CE demolished the buildings to rebuild to their specifications. CE wanted to build a new, energy efficient and modern campus, following the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards. LEED are standards for construction and operations of green buildings administered by the US Green Building Council. Posted on 6 Jan 2019
