For several years, the city of Grand Prairie, TX has been put on a wonderful fireworks show at Joe Pool Lake. The tradition is enjoyed by many people, judging by the crowds it attracts each year. There are several things you can plan to do to make your experience of watching fireworks a memorable and relaxing.

Early Arrival

Lynn Creek Park is the designated park to see the fireworks. The pyrotechnics are hit the coast of the park. Your best bet for finding a good place is to arrive early. Bring along a picnic and some chairs and / or blanket. Once you arrive, you can be able to claim a picnic table, but if you play a place to put their chairs. Since it is a special case, Grand Prairie charges a little more for the ticket to enter the park that day. It is $ 15 per vehicle. This can include up to 6 people. If there is more, each person $ 2 plus additional costs.

Camping in parks

No camping at Lynn Creek Park, but there in Cedar Hill State Park and Loyd Park. You can camp and watch fireworks from those other places. The crowds will not be so great and you not have to go anywhere when you have finished. You will not have enough of the great view you get from Lynn Creek Park. But if you do not want to sit in traffic Once the fireworks are over, this could be a good choice for you. Just be sure to make reservations well in advance to camp of the fourth.

Also there's more …

Cedar Hill State Park hosts a general celebration of independence within the park. Events with can include music, readings and discussions of history. Their fourth of July celebration is intended to be a family event that this is the place to bring children.

The three parks in the Joe Pool Lake has a wealth of excellent facilities and things to do. You can hike, bike, swim, fish and enjoy water sports (boating, jet skiing and kayaking). There are also many natural and semi natural areas that support a wide variety of plants and animals. The lake park are visited by many birders as there are very little of some of the special coastal habitats you can find here.

One does not need to have into account. Alcohol is not permitted on State Park and Lynn Creek Park will not allow glass containers. Be careful, be considerate and make sure you have a designated driver if you plan on having a few drinks as part of its fourth of July celebration. Enjoy Joe Pool Lake!
