I have been to this park several times and I love it! The big pavilion at the top of the hill is a great place and has great views. The pond with the ducks is great. This is a great place.

It is a good local park. Good for adults and children. The pond is good size and has paddle boats in the summer. The walking trail is fine though fairly short. There is a hill climb which makes up for the short trail.

Very spacious area to hike or just walk by the lake. There are ducks for feeding and a pavilion. This place is always packed though July 4th. Almost impossible to get in.

The resident ducks and geese welcome boaters in summer, the ball fields host soccer and baseball, the stage features local performers as well as military bands. Skateboarders have their own facility, as do ice skaters. The kids love the playground and the near mile path around the pond attracts strollers, walkers, pets, bikes and runners. Plus it is home to several festivals each year.

Allen Pond is one of those few places on Earth which has everything going on. First it has a nice size and walking around the pond is at least a short hike, especially if you take your dog. Nestled throughout are picnic spots and it isn't unusual to see hundreds there during summer weekends. There is a good playground for the kids along with paddle boats you can rent. I'm not sure how many fish are in the pond but you can usually find more than a few people fishing. We've gone many times to freely hear great music, but bring along a lawn chair. We've also been dozens of times to one of the many ballfields to watch a kids game. Finally, both my daughters took ice skating lessons at the indoor rink which is open year round. Frankly, I can't imagine what they could add to make it more complete.

This little park is a very family oriented place to go on a warm weather day. Nice walking trails around the pond, paddle boats, play area for little ones, picnic pavilions you can reserve plus lots of picnic tables spread around. Weekends in the summer see entertainment at the small stage, nice to spread out a blanket, lay back and enjoy!

We enjoy Allen Pond Park. It is clean, spacious, and a nice park to go to for fireworks on July 4th. We attended a friend's company picnic at this park, No complaints from our family about Allen Pond Park.

Allen's Pond is a nice park with a brand new playground. In season, you can rent a paddleboat. There is also a nice skateboard park a little ways up from the playground. If you plan ahead you can rent a picnic site. Some have multiple grills. You can sign up for the site at Bowie City Hall. We had my grandson's birthday party there, and it was great (and got the mess out of the house! ). In winter, there is a skating rink that charges admission. I have been told that if you walk around the pond three times it is one mile. Just be sure to watch out for Canada Geese souvenirs!

I spent the day with my family. The park is equipped with walking trail, paddle boats, and several play grounds to accommodate the babies to school aged kids. It's a family friendly park, my family and I love spending a day out here.

Allen Pond is a nice city park which includes ice arena, skate boarding and soccer fields. With the pond and trails it's a nice place to take a walk and enjoy nature.

Have been going to Allen Pond for over 11 years, mostly to run. It is a pleasant, lovely part that offers a variety of activities, from ice skating to picnicking.

Allen Pond Park is a beautiful place. It has an amphitheater with Sunday entertainment. You can bring chairs and blankets and sit on the hill and enjoy. It has a year-round ice rink that offers ice skating, hockey, lessons and social skating. It also has paddleboats that you can rent by the hour for a nominal fee. In addition, there is a one-mile (estimate) black-top walkway all the way around the pond and a gazebo on a hill overlooking the water and the fountains. You can fish in the pond or feed the ducks. Allen Pond Park has picnic tables and covered party areas as well as sports fields and a skate-board park and basketball courts. However, the children will tell you that best of all are the play areas. The children’s areas are wonderful climbing, swinging, bouncing play areas encouraging learning and pretending. They have groundcover of special rubberized material. There are two play areas—one for the younger children and one for the older children. These play areas are handicap accessible and there are special swings.

This park offers something for everyone. It has a lovely pond and a nice walking path all around. The grounds are maintained very well and they have lots of attractions including ball fields, boating, picnic sites, playground, a skating rink and more. It's very scenic and serene, and I've enjoyed each visit I've made there.
