Very cute park for the kids. Love the train theme that coincides with the history of Allen, which was founded in the 1870s as a stop on the Houston and Texas Central (H&TC) Railway.
Read more about Allen Station ParkIt was sad to see the ASA football fields to away BUT the return on this investment was 100 FOLD! When the dog park at The Village of Allen closed down to build Specs, Ulta and 5 Below, it was very depressing since we didn’t have any other dog parks in Allen, except a few “residents only”parks. Then- came along our BARK YARD. Allen did what Allen does best and created a beautiful, well maintained place for Dogs and their Owners to run freely, mingle and relax. There are 3 areas for your dog(s), small, large and one extra, restrooms, benches, sculptures, trees (in infancy), lush green grass and a little baby hill that creates a “venue” type feel. Most people pick up after their pets and if it is overlooked, the City does a great job each Wednesday of cleaning the yard, restrooms, parking lot and surrounding areas. So note- the park is CLOSED each WEDNESDAY. Since the trees are newly rooted, there is limited shade. But don’t worry! There are a few seated areas that have shade available. In a few more years, the tress will offer ample shade throughout the park. Swing by and enjoy this AWESOME dog park in Allen, TX.
