Allen Pond Park in Bowie is an 85-acre multipurpose playland with ice skating, an amphitheater, picnic pavilions, a skate park, sports fields, basketball courts, hiking trails, exercise stations, and playgrounds.

The enormous man-made pond was the initial attraction and is stocked with bass and crappie for fishing pleasure.

The area is a woodland creature haven with nearly 40% of the park covered in trees.

Families and visitors have a plethora of choices to partake in at this versatile nature-filled park. The area originally served as a cattle and tobacco farm and when the owner, James Allen, sold it in 1965 he insisted it be developed into a family recreation destination.
