Shadow Lakes Park

What You'll Find Here

Tucked away in Allen, Texas, Shadow Lakes Park spans 7 acres of tranquil green space. At its heart lies a 1.25-acre lake complete with a fishing pier where you can cast a line and unwind. The stocked pond offers a decent chance of catching something, even for novice anglers.

Places to Play & Relax

Kids can burn off energy at the park's playground area, while the whole family can enjoy meals at the available picnic sites - excellent for a weekend lunch or casual get-together.

Feeling active? The park features hiking and biking trails that meander through the landscape, offering a pleasant way to stretch your legs or get some exercise without having to venture far from the city.

Looking Ahead

The west end of the park has been set aside by Allen's city planners for future development, so you might see new features popping up in the coming years.

Natural Neighbors

Keep your eyes peeled for the local wildlife that calls this park home. You might spot deer grazing at dawn or dusk, rabbits hopping along the edges of the trails, or squirrels darting between trees. Bird watchers can look out for hawks soaring overhead, owls if you visit in the evening, and various songbirds providing a natural soundtrack to your visit.

Shadow Lakes Park is part of Allen's network of green spaces, providing a peaceful spot away from the city's busy pace.
