A few weeks ago, we asked the members of Allen BubbleLife to vote for their favorite parks in the area. Although we got a handful of suggestions, Allen's Celebration Park claimed first place with 63 percent of the votes. 

The park has many great amenities, including barbecue grills, baseball/softball fields, a basketball court, and a brightly covered pavilion with picnic tables. There are also tennis courts, biking/walking trails, and soccer fields. Whether you love kiteboarding or playing on a jungle gym, this park has what you need. To find out more about the park, you can visit cityofallen.org. 

Celebration also hosts fun events throughout the year, the largest of which is the Market Street Allen USA Celebration at the end of June. Join tons of local spectators as fireworks light up the sky and food vendors sell their wares to the hungry crowd. It's a Fourth of July tradition for many families in the area, so mark your calendars for June 24 this year. 

It's pretty easy to see why the park garnered so many votes from locals. So, why do you love Celebration?
