Bethany Ridge Park — Attraction in Allen

I am so impressed with this park. I have seen it since moving to Allen and just never thought much about it being so close to the road, but my wife was telling me about it the other day as she took our daughter and they saw a ton of turtles. Since the weather was so nice we opt to go to this park, brining some chopped carrots to feed to turtles and off we went.

I was absolutely floored how cool this park is. My daughter loves going to parks (honestly just being outside), and when we go to parks she has fun, but majority of the time she plays for a few minutes but wants to walk around and explore. She has fun on the playground but rather look around. This park she didn't want to stop playing with everything. There is so much for small kids and bigger alike.

Personally, i really enjoyed playing with the pipes. She enjoyed climbing, jumping, and doing so much more. It was really awesome seeing her go!

We counted 20 or so floating aroudn and there appears to be three different types we could identify (wish I took a picture of them). We cut up some carrot slices and fed them, which made her giddy. There is a nice covered patio with lots of chairs to sit and eat, while enjoying the atmosphere. This is honestly one of the best parks I have been to in Allen, and will...

Fun but small park. The play equipment is larger and designed for children 4-ish and up. The larger equipment makes it easier for an adult to play with their child without having to crawl around like a lot of playgrounds. The playground has several different sensory activities including a music/sound area and...

Cute park that's fun to walk around. There is a dock that goes out over the water. Also picnic benches under a roofed in area and grills that can be used. Also there is a fun park for the kids to play on. It has a lot of unique features that you don't see at other parks and my...
