This Christmas light display Yukon puts on here annually is pretty darn spectacular. First, it's…read moremassive, with 100s of displays enjoyable from either one of many foot pathways or from the park's meandering road. They fill up like two or three parks connected with lights! Most of it is custom displays, retro and cartoony with a lot of lights in motion. The kiddos just love it! It is truly a winter wonderland. This season (2020-21), they also had a snack food truck, a very small ice skating rink, and a couple of touring "trains" to ride for $3 a person. There is definitely more walkable space now than I remember a couple of years back. This is THE metro area light display that puts all others to shame (sorry Midwest City). The nightly line of cars at times backs up all the way onto the highway, but it moves pretty fast. It is likely to get worse as more people move to the metro, and discover for themselves -- this is the place to visit for some Christmas cheer and whimsy! I do have two wants...One, more vertical lights in the trees would be a nice addition. Two, they need better signage or map displays for drivers to find the entrances to separate parts of the park. One can even sponsor their own light display additions. Most are sponsored by local businesses, families and churches. Other sponsors are memorials to dearly departed that loved this annual display. It has become a yearly tradition for my own family, and a must-see Christmas delight.

This is a great little park in Bethany. For the most part it's a pretty quite park. There are…read moremany people who come out to walk/run the 1.5 mile sidewalk trail around the park. The walk around the park is nice and flat and there are even distance markers so you know how far you've gone. There are several ares with many picnic tables. There are two playground areas for kids and several wide open fields. These fields would be great for getting together with friends and playing ultimate, kickball, or soccer if they were not full of stickers that will cover your socks and shoes if you walk through them. Overall, if you need a good afternoon walk or a shaded playground for the kids, I would recommend this park.

Sometimes trees are nice, but I like that this park has many open expanses for kids to run and play in a very safe space. Softball, basketball and soccer areas are here also - though I don't know much about reserving them or anything. There are a few different playground areas, and admittedly, these could use some updating, but I think there are lots of places with splash pads and new playground equipment - what Eldon Lyon provides is room, and lots of it. In a time when parents feel they can't just let their kids roam free in the neighborhoods and the creek beds of our youth, this park helps address that need. I love the two mile trail that loops around and sometimes through the entire park, the nice picnic areas, and people watching.

I kind of got an odd feeling as I approached this park as it's directly across from a salvage/wrecking/towing yard that has a lot of busted vehicles lining the road and then the road leading up to the lake isn't really paved and a bit rocky. It doesn't take a 4-wheel drive or anything but just know there isn't really a road. I thought the road loops around but instead, it breaks off at a Y-intersection. I went to the right part of the Y and creepily enough there was an older model SUV parked at the end of the road blocking the entire roadway. The road ended in a cul-de-sac type grassy turn around area anyway so instead of continuing onward toward the SUV, I made a 3-point turn and headed back to the intersection. The SUV that was blocking the road obviously had camped overnight and had been there for a while. It looked like someone was living inside the SUV. I ventured onto the other side of the Y intersection and there was a lone man out on the dock fishing his heart out in the windy conditions and then another car off by the port-a-potty that also looked like it was being lived in. The lake does look quite beautiful and would probably be amazing on a warmer less windy day. There are signs that you can take out certain types of boats and there appears to be plenty of room to spread out on the docks if you want to fish. I read somewhere that the lake area had recently been cleaned up as a lot of people would go here to dump trash and mattresses or take part in illegal activities. This lake/recreation area didn't give me a positive vibe and I didn't feel quite safe here but maybe the feeling can change over time.

To think someone has worked extremely hard for hours to set up these lights for our enjoyment. This year we did see some new things, the guitars that were beautiful and a blue tree that was stunning. Things may be the same , not sure, but I seem to see some I might of missed or forgot from previous years. The train is something we have never done, just too cold for me. Still cute to see running around the other lights. You will need to make sure you visit all 3 of the areas. Also it's a tradition for us to pull through the one neighborhood that is right past the main display then proceed to next area. I want to mention that they take donations! After our recent visit to Branson lights, with a price of $25.00 a car and weekdays $20.00, we should all be putting in a little extra! Times are hard for some but lights are totally worth seeing so if you can help balance it out for the families that are hurting in the pocket book. $$. Get there early to line up , like 5:30 and plan at least 1 to 2 hours. You can park and walk alittle, take pictures, listen to music and be in the most peaceful place in this Covid time of our lives.
