Went there to fish. The kids fed the ducks there. Saw many people fishing here. Also saw a lot of trash from people that don't know how to clean their own mess. Its a free park with free parking sp cant complain much.

It's at a small lake but our grandchildren love the ducks. We also live close by and ride our jetski on lake Arlington.

This place is so cute! Wish I had known it existed 6yrs ago when I moved to this side of town always went to bowman springs park. The club house looks very modern and sophisticated and fairly good sized to host any type of event. My dog loves the water and at bowman springs there is no where she could get into the water except for the ramps and they are slick with stringy moss. We discovered this park one day and will always use it from now on. Plenary of space to park as well. Good shade from the trees picnic tables and water!! Peaceful!

Yes, the pavilions @ Richard Simpson and Bowman Springs are both for rent. It's best to reserve them well ahead of time as they are quite popular.

Can you swim at richard simpson lake and also what the fee to rent a boat there?

Christopher Borja | Jun 23, 2019

No swimming allowed. Not even wading is allowed. Besides, the "beach" is made of broken chunks of concrete, so you wouldn't want to.

No sir it's against the law in Texas no matter where you fish. The shell station on Arkansas just before the park sells licence. You can get a day licence for 10 bucks
