Definately not my first time here; Before the lake was built my friends and I used to drive the backroads here now where the lake is. (the days of Ophelias Grave, the Goat Lady ect.) . I've been coming to this lake since it opened way back when, with my brother fishing. All the people that work here are pretty nice (good people). Never had a problem. "Prairie Lights" the Christmas light show should be really cool once we get it all set up. Check out Lynn Creek! There's no overnight camping here but there are so many picnic tables with grills everywhere. Huge beach/swimming area ready at your disposal as well as a pretty big play area for the kids with many slides and places to climb. Ps. There are Many Many trash cans at this place; Why do people just throw their kids used diapers on the ground when there is a trash can 20 feet away??????

EXPENSIVE PARKING! CROWED! MULTIPLE ACTIVITIES! The one pet peeve I have about ANY PARK is parking fees! The City of Grand Prairie should be ashamed to charge $20 per car, and then RECHARGE ANOTHER $20 dollars if you happen to loose your ticket for reentry. That is nuts! I attended the park for a family reunion. Man, it's June, 2022, and the weather was 102 degrees! VERY HOT! Fortunately the park allows you to rent pavilion space, and if you do your setup properly, you will be up under a significant amount of shade. The park does open up to a very impressive lake. They have even in marked areas where children and adults can swim. You can also boat here with ease. I assume it is a good place for fishing. It is quite an impressive lake, but again due to the parking, the congestion, and the overall trash I saw around the area I would not want to visit this place again anytime soon.

Today, I am saddened to give the park a two star for one simple reason: TRASH. EVERYWHERE. We had not been to the park in a long time and decided to stop by today to enjoy the fresh air and water views. We were so saddened and disappointed by what we saw that we didn’t even stop or get out of the car. The photos say it all. Trash everywhere. Overflowing dumpsters. Ducks and wildlife sitting right next to piles of beer cans. We were absolutely appalled. We only saw one City worker picking up trash. It would have taken 30 people to pick up all of the trash before it made its way into the lake and nearby woods and creeks. Hopefully we’ll venture back in the future, but this was a disappointing outing. And it stung even more because we paid $20 to get in, just to sightsee a bunch of trash.

Fantastic recreation area for families. Bring some snacks for the ducks, which you'll find on the western edge of this rec facility, nearest picnic table to Oasis. Arrive early and you will have first dibs on shaded picnic areas and shade covering. March through October is a great season for beach-going. This park has ample trash bins, so remember --- don't trash where you splash. The kids always enjoy themselves in the designated swim area. The large playground is great for 4-10 year olds. The sand is just about right for castle building and the water is refreshing on a hot summer day. Lifejackets are encouraged, but bring your own....I haven't seen a designated area where guests can use the orange life preservers, like some other rec/parks have.
