Bethany Lakes Park

Great park, the lake is wonderful. Being out of town and getting to see Bald Cypress and a green heron awesome. The walkway around is good too.

Enjoyed my walk here with the dog. Tons of dog waste bins throughout the paths.

Bethany park is a really great community park, there is a memorial there for our fallen veterans also which is a nice touch. The park it’s self os very well maintained, you will certainly see some nature out here walking around the lake/ pond, I’ve seen some geese, ducks, fish, snakes, storks etc there is also a newly built play park here for kids that has drinking fountains and seating for the adults.

Bethany Lakes Park is such a beautiful, relaxing spot—definitely one of my favorite places to unwind. Right now, the bluebonnets are in full bloom, and they add the most gorgeous pop of color throughout the park. It’s perfect for taking photos, walking the trails, or just sitting and soaking in the scenery. The park has several small lakes, and you’ll often see people fishing along the water’s edge. It’s quiet, peaceful, and feels like a nice little escape from the busier parts of town. The walking paths are clean and easy, and there’s always a mix of families, joggers, and folks just enjoying the space. One of the best features, especially for families, is the playground. It’s got a good setup for kids to burn off energy while still being close enough to enjoy the lake views. There’s also lots of green space nearby for picnics or just relaxing under a tree. Whether you’re there for the flowers, fishing, or just a breath of fresh air, Bethany Lakes Park has a little something for everyone. If you’re in the Allen area, it’s definitely worth spending some time here.

Really nice public park with multiple ponds, a walking trail, and open space. Ponds are decent for fishing, and have catfish, bluegill, and largemouth bass.

Amazing Lake so clean water. The most surprising is you will get to see many different colors and sizes Ducks. It is nice feeling to see these rare ducks. Also it is a big landscape for family day outing to play outdoor games, eating out etc. The street parking also so close to the Lake. The small kids play area has many musical instruments to play !

Bethany Lakes Park is one of the reasons why we decided to buy a house in Allen. This beautiful park features 3 large lakes teeming with ducks and fishes. A concrete running path takes you around the park and it's guaranteed to give you a scenic run, no matter what time of the day or season of the year. The park has a recently renovated kids play area, several pavilions available for renting, a fishing deck, and a huge open space for events. It also houses the Joe Farmer Recreation Center right behind it, all with ample parking space. A typical evening at the park will have several locals playing with their kids, fishing, walking their dogs or sitting on one of many picnic benches feeding the ducks. Me and my hubby come here daily rain or shine, and we go around the park several times. But we always remember teasing the swans while we are at it - they give us that jolt of running energy - I have a feeling they now recognize us as the annoying couple that doesn't always bring tasty treats!! If you live in Allen, or are passing by, stop by at Bethany Lakes Park for a calming walk and enjoy serenity.

This is a spacious park with a few options for walking around the perimeter around the lake. There are picnic tables, playground, and the lake hosts fish, turtles, ducks etc. I love coming here in the spring when the bluebonnets are in bloom. My only con is - I wish there were more trees along the walking trail to shade the summer sun like some other Allen parks. It’s a nice area to feed the ducks (come early before they fill up though) You can also people watch, picnic, and relax under a tree.

Sometimes a quick reset is just under your nose. Thousands of people drive by here everyday having no idea a little " back to nature" 30 minute side trip is theirs for the asking. My jaunt around Bethany lakes this morning included a couple of great surprises. As I skirted the trail beside the lake,I startled a Blue Heron in the top of a tree. An older bird with a huge wingspan. Then,closer to the lake a surprise nesting duck and freshly laid egg. Spring here is perfect but the only way to see it is to... Go!

Absolutely beautiful area. A park where you can lose yourself in peace and quiet. Area is clean and lot of nice homes nearby. Almost kinda jealous of the residents.

Best city park in Allen. Beautiful pond and playground and rec center. Great summer events

Cute and relaxing park with lakes, ducks, playground and jogging trail. It's clean and quite big. Husband and I brought our 2 sons here today. We enjoyed this lovely park. Kids were feeding ducks and having fun on the playground. We decided to arrange picnic next time. We saw people celebrating baby shower in the covered pavilion. Such a great idea!

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.

Awesome park with 3 small lakes for fishing. Very quiet on the weekdays. Very well maintained.

You can catch small bass here and rent the mini building with a patio facing the water. There are 3-4 ponds and the trails lead you around them. Dogs are welcome and dog litter bags are available.

Great place to go with the family! Lots of birds, geese and ducks. And fun to fish. My fave place to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

This is a nice park with a few small lakes, walking trails, and large grass areas. It is big, but not as big as the nearby Celebration Park. We took our dog here on an early Sunday morning and we had a pleasant time walking around the entire park, which took a little over half an hour. My dog had a good time meeting other dogs walking along the same trail and staring at the ducks that were lounging in the water. There is a memorial to the military that is quite impressive. Among it is a large grass area where we were able to jog and play with our dog (with leash, of course). Going towards the back of the park, you will get into a residential area. I guess this is a great park for those who live across the street. I did read on NextDoor (neighborhood app) that some folks have seen coyotes in the wee early morning hours and at night. Because of this, I would suggest coming during the day to make sure you and your family/pets are safe. Overall, this is a nice park in Allen for walks, picnics, and maybe even fishing too.

This place was overall good but there was some kinks ,there are more people than you , think even if it says it's less busy than usual there will still be a lot of people.But, it's acres of land so everyone is spread out and there is good little plots that you can play games and you can go for a walk or biking so overall it's a really good place. Also one more thing is that you cannot put your legs in the pond or lake.I would definitely recommend you go to this place.
