Came here to walk the trail around the lake one afternoon in mid November and wow. Perfect weather, perfect sunset, not crowded... I thoroughly enjoyed my experience! There is a road beside the trail so you can hear cars the whole time, but it’s not a heavily trafficked highway at least! Definitely recommend this trail. Well paved and flat and about 3 miles around.

Amazing place for a walk.If you want to shoot/ take photos of the planes flying over you heads, please do visit this place. I facinated to see the same. The beautiful ducks around there are very friendly. Only thing is we cannot feed the ducks. Lovely lawns to place soccer.

I like going here with my friends a lot. I make a lot of memories here. Its always awesome to just go to the park, and this park is big so theres a lot you can do and you can run a lot .

This is a good place for spending your evening.The trail is beautiful. You can enjoy your evening or morning walk with the lake side.In some of the evening there would be some events also near the lake side. This place is very near to the love field airport also , you can also ride your cycling here

Fantastic park for everything from hanging out on a Sunday afternoon, going for a run, to plane spotting. One of the best locations Ive been to for catching planes landing up close. Has a good number of flights so plenty of opportunities to catch aircraft from many different angles.

Had a blast today watching planes land at love field and enjoyed walking the path around the lake. Plenty of room to room around and have a great family day. Very dog friendly as well, only complaint is that parking is hard to find in the small spaces that they have for everyone to use..

Was on my way to buy Christmas decorations and using my navigation because I dont know my way around. My phone was stolen and this is the only one I could get and the navigation is a malfunctioning nightmare. It kept me lost all night long when I finally ended up here it was a wonderful place to give up and sleep in my car. It is a beautiful place I highly recommend it and someday Ill go back there when I want to go to the park LOL

I personally liked that Southweat Airlines was right across. Planes were landing and departing. It was cool. The lake also has fish so, you can see them jumping out of the water.

If you can get over the constant fly over sounds of landing air planes from Love Field its a great place for a long walk around the lake - only a few miles. You can sit next to the lake and watch air planes land. Nice place to hang out in the park. They have pavilions and benchs and picnic tables as well as workout equipment on the Lakeshore side. Lots of parking. Ive always felt safe here. Largely latino neighborhood. People are friendly. Parking lots can be a bit trashy tho.

Great park with a surprisingly long path to walk all the way around the lake. We take our dog here (on leash) for walks multiple times per week.Since it is just before the runway at Love Field there will sometimes be aircraft flying very low over the eastern side of the park, but if youre into planes its actually quite a thrill to see!

Very crowded on a Sunday evening, not many areas to sit and have a picnic. There is a jogging trail around the lake that many people were walking on. Parking was limited so we had to park on the street. Nice views of the Lovefield runway and of planes landing.

One of the coolest parks in Dallas. Noise from the plains can be a little loud but the site of them flying over the lake makes up for it. Best time to be out there is during sunset and its one of the most beautiful sunsets u will ever see.

It was nice. Pretty busy but still quiet. Everybody was enjoying the scenery and doing their own thing. Im not sure if theres bathrooms but theres lots of places to sit. Big track. And clean. I even saw people fishing.

This was a nice little find during one of our off trek excursions. The lake was beautiful but my favorite feature was being able to see the runway at Love Field. I could have sat at this park and watched planes take off and land all day. The breeze off the water was cool and there werent mosquitos buzzing around at all. It was relatively clean and boasted a hiking/biking trail. Definitely a nice little place for an afternoon picnic.

Bachman Lake is White Rock for the rest of us, rarely crowded, easily accessed, and well maintained. New trails are lots wider and more amenities have been installed over the years. The lake needs some serious dredging, but the trail loop is perfect 5k, which makes it a great training spot

Bachman Lake Park is located at the end of the runways for Dallas Love Field. I enjoy visiting this park because it has a mostly uninterrupted, paved walking trail that loops with plenty of benches. Bachman Lake was Dallas primary source of drinking water when Bachman Branch was dammed in 1903. There is also a great spot on Shorecrest Dr right below the runway to watch airplanes take off and land from directly below. Most of the planes that fly by are Southwests Boeing 737. This is definitely a nice park if youre in the area.

Bachman is a beautiful lake park with a mostly tree lined jogging trail which is three miles long and circles the lake. Its family oriented with cute ducks and ducklings wandering around. I Once even saw a turtle laying her eggs under the trees! A Rowing club is based here. Great close up views of aircraft landing at love field, even Dallas cowboys jets and Navy planes. A variety of exercise equipment in various places. Covered picnic/party pavilions and a large playground. Always very clean. Restrooms, water fountains and bbq grills are available too!

Its a good play for exercise, walking your dog, bbqs, playing outdoors, romantic dates and for pokemon go lovers. It still needs more poke gyms and stops but its still very nice to visit.

The playground is a bit small for the size of the park. Beautiful view of the pond but every 5-10 minutes there are jumbo jets landing not too far from the park. If you like the sound of turbine jet engines, great place.
