Today, the community is experiencing its all time fastest rate of growth.   Long-range planning for public facilities serving businesses and residents is a major emphasis in Allen. A full range of parks, recreation services and activities are available in Allen offering a variety of league sports and children's programs. Allen has 16 public parks (two larger then 50 acres), one golf course, one recreation center, five tennis courts, 13 ball diamonds and nine soccer fields.   Residents of Allen enjoy close proximity to such points of interest as Lake Lavon, just east of Allen, with its 11 parks and over one hundred miles of shoreline; Connemara, a 73-acre conservatory featuring performances by the Dallas area symphony and dance groups; and the Heard Natural Science Museum and Wildlife Sanctuary north of town on FM 1378. |
