Nice open green space with an artificial lake, where the Rock Creek trail runs through a powerline area. The walking path is paved, and continues across 185th though Allenbacher Acres to Springville Creek across West Union on one side and through the Rock Creek Country Club all the way to Rock Creek Blvd on the other. Parking is available at the 185th crossing. The lake is stocked so fishing is possible, also, there are some opportunities for wildlife watching.

Still the same place I remember from years ago. Parking off of 185th Ave and direct access to the Rock Creek trail system. Big green fields for the kids, a community garden and pretty good fishing for those with patience.

Nice open space with a paved walking trail. The trail is however too narrow and there aren't enough dog poop bins so there is dog poop all asking the trail. The lake adjacent to the trail is not well maintained with a lot of gunk that deters birds and water fowl. The Amberglen Park little south is a much better park if you want to spend a nice evening.

They simply marvelous place to play catch, play frisbee, walk the dog, jog, and ride your bike! There's a community garden and port a potty. Few trees. The trails go on for a while. Very scenic walkway!

Can we caught fish and take home in this lake? Is there cat fish?

Bethany contains Bullhead Catfish... nothing of any bragging rights, but some big ones are in there. For Catfish, I would try the Tualatin River or even Henry Hagg Lake. I know there are Bullheads and I believe some Blue Catfish that someone put in there.

Is it big enough to kayak in it?

X Smith | Jun 6, 2019

I wouldn't, it isn't even a good place to practice, in my opinion. So many underwater plants in the wider areas, not ideal for using a paddle.
