Lakeside Park is peaceful during the week in the evenings…read more This view is walking distance from the area I'm familiar with. Just being able to hear the water waves, and seeing the sun glistening against the water is a tranquil vibe. On the some weekends there are people giving birthday parties or barbecuing at the Barbecue Grills. There is a Fishing Pier, Parking lot area, Pavilions (Small), Picnic Tables, a Playground where my kids play and swing, a Sand Volleyball Court, Trails for Hiking / Biking. I enjoy the peace and convenience of the view to walk around the lakeside in a calm setting.

This park is the besttttt! Completely shaded structures, tons of benches for parents to sit (and…read moregood visibility from most of them), and a great walking trail around a pond with a fountain. The parking lot is right next to the playground and there are tons of spots, though it's always pretty slow when we come. It's worth the 15min drive from Forney for sure!

The gazebo gives a great view of the lake and being able to walk the shore and skip rocks is always a very relaxing thing to do. There's actually a secret spot tucked off away from the lake that people don't know about. Good fishing in that part, but not so much in the lake itself from the human interaction on the edge of the water. Families come out and hang out and windsurf so it's pretty family friendly. Also a nice place to go on a date and star gaze. Lots of traffic here on the holidays like Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Juneteenth, and New Years. People from all over come out and celebrate and it can get a little hectic but there's plenty of space to do what you want. I'll always love this place

We've always enjoyed going to Harbor Bay Marina during the summer, but today's experience was…read morereally disappointing. A few weeks ago, we arrived to launch our boat, and there was no one in the office to collect the launch fee. Rather than leaving without paying, we left a $20 bill with a note. The launch fee is $12, and when we called the next day, we were told we had an $8 credit. Today, we returned, paid our launch fee, and asked to use our $8 credit. Unfortunately, the lady manager was incredibly rude--not only to us, but also to the employee working in the office. The tone, attitude, and overall way the situation was handled were completely unnecessary. We always try to do the right thing, and that's exactly what we did by paying even when no one was there. It's disappointing to be treated with such disrespect after making the effort to be honest. I hope Harbor Bay Marina takes customer service more seriously because no customer--or employee--deserves to be treated that way.

It a nice little spot for fishing, but we didn't catch any fish. We tried all kinds of bait except…read morelive minnow. A guy passing by said he used live minnow the other day, and that's what they like, so maybe we'll try that soon. They do sell bait and minnow here. It was $3.49 for a dozen live minnow and $6.49 for a bag of frozen shad. $8 per person. $1 per additional rod. Bathrooms are pretty clean. The fishing barge is located at the end of the pier. Enter through the main store. There's an inside fishing area in the barge with a rectangular hole where you drop your line in. I didn't go there because there are people in there smoking up a storm. We fished outside at the end of the barge facing the lake. Be careful if you choose this spot because you can get your line snagged very easily, especially on the right side. 3 stars for paying $8 and no fish and also for losing 3 lures from snags.

Paper towels were out when we were just here but at least it was open, so no biggie. Just shook my hands out mid air and a pat down on my clothes and voila! Lots of weeds and the lawn could use mowing. I'm trying to do cartwheels and keep littles entertained. How are dogs living it up better than us humans. In my Scooby voice, "Ruh-Oh" It does seem like it's been here for awhile so not really sure if specifics get overseen by the city or whom exactly. Simple around the park clean up would go miles. For a park w/playing fields, it does its job and it's a great area for practice time. Also near Kids Kingdom and Rowlett Recreation. Convenience within 5 min.

The place just looks sad crying for some love and purpose.
