Amazing place for kids. Nice and calming. Lake was fun for kids to see. Though it could use a little clean . Other wise park is mostly for older kids but my 18 month old was able to climb and use 2 slides just fine.
Great park for picnic, walking, cycling. A-lot of beautiful ducks.
We discovered Bethany Lakes Park in Allen and really love walking our dogs there. It's a peaceful atmosphere where there are people fishing, flying kites, kiddos playing on the playground, or feeding the ducks. What I love is that there are no speedy bikers whizzing by you on the sidewalks like there are at other lake parks we have been to. It was a friendly atmosphere and even had a huge spray fountain in the middle of the lake, which was beautiful to look at. And lastly, it is very dog friendly with lots of places to get free plastic poop bags and garbage cans as well! Enjoyable place for an afternoon walk!
Nice place for some relaxing time and fun time for the kids. You have to have an fishing license to fish in the fishing pond. There are plenty of ducks in the area. And a walking trail.
My family really enjoys this park. It's just pretty at sunset, especially when it's fall outside. Great playground foe the kids.
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.
