Just being able to hear the water waves, and seeing the sun glistening against the water is a tranquil vibe. On the some weekends there are people giving birthday parties or barbecuing at the Barbecue Grills. There is a Fishing Pier, Parking lot area, Pavilions (Small), Picnic Tables, a Playground where my kids play and swing, a Sand Volleyball Court, Trails for Hiking / Biking. I enjoy the peace and convenience of the view to walk around the lakeside in a calm setting.

The gazebo gives a great view of the lake and being able to walk the shore and skip rocks is always a very relaxing thing to do. There's actually a secret spot tucked off away from the lake that people don't know about. Good fishing in that part, but not so much in the lake itself from the human interaction on the edge of the water. Families come out and hang out and windsurf so it's pretty family friendly. Also a nice place to go on a date and star gaze. Lots of traffic here on the holidays like Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Juneteenth, and New Years. People from all over come out and celebrate and it can get a little hectic but there's plenty of space to do what you want. I'll always love this place

Pros - Fishing Spots…read more- Relaxation - Prices - Clean Bathrooms Cons - Spiders This place is definitely a favorite, I'm part of a fishing family and was raised that way. When I tell you I'm no stranger to this place believe me I'm not. I've come here since Bill Clinton was president, and its like this place has been frozen in time the exact same way I remember it. It only cost $8 to enter and fish as much as you would like until 6 am the next morning and $1 per additional poles. I've caught just about anything you can think of here, and if you have nothing to do all day this is the best spot. There is plenty of shade and its connected to a convenient store that has all the bait, snacks, and equipment you would need. The people at the front are very nice as well, no issues, and their prices are pretty fair for the fishing items, food might cost a little bit more though. One of the more impressive things is the cleanliness of their bathrooms. There's nothing better than having a place with clean bathrooms, someone here is doing a great job, keep it up!!! The ONLY negative and a deal breaker for some, are the spiders that live around this place. Fishing attracts bugs, and bug attract spiders, if you have arachnophobia, this probably isn't the place for you. Some are big, some are little, some are hairy, and some are bald, one of them even pulled a knife on me and asked for my wallet. The spiders here can be pretty daunting but none the less, they just want to catch a meal like you. Aside from that this place is legit, I recommend it!!!

We've always enjoyed going to Harbor Bay Marina during the summer, but today's experience was…read morereally disappointing. A few weeks ago, we arrived to launch our boat, and there was no one in the office to collect the launch fee. Rather than leaving without paying, we left a $20 bill with a note. The launch fee is $12, and when we called the next day, we were told we had an $8 credit. Today, we returned, paid our launch fee, and asked to use our $8 credit. Unfortunately, the lady manager was incredibly rude--not only to us, but also to the employee working in the office. The tone, attitude, and overall way the situation was handled were completely unnecessary. We always try to do the right thing, and that's exactly what we did by paying even when no one was there. It's disappointing to be treated with such disrespect after making the effort to be honest. I hope Harbor Bay Marina takes customer service more seriously because no customer--or employee--deserves to be treated that way.

Paper towels were out when we were just here but at least it was open, so no biggie. Just shook my hands out mid air and a pat down on my clothes and voila! Lots of weeds and the lawn could use mowing. I'm trying to do cartwheels and keep littles entertained. How are dogs living it up better than us humans. In my Scooby voice, "Ruh-Oh" It does seem like it's been here for awhile so not really sure if specifics get overseen by the city or whom exactly. Simple around the park clean up would go miles. For a park w/playing fields, it does its job and it's a great area for practice time. Also near Kids Kingdom and Rowlett Recreation. Convenience within 5 min.

The place just looks sad crying for some love and purpose.
