After a 3 day winter ice storm, we were ready to get outside when the temperature reached 60°F. We had a great time walking around the park. It was nice that the park had a lot of paved roads because the snow/ice melting that day left the grass pretty muddy. The park was pretty clean for the most part. There were some debris/trash stuck in the creek and in the forest sadly! read more

My favorite place to disc golf! Such a wide variety of holes and a beautiful walk across the park! read more

Breckenridge Park - Disc golf - Parks Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I think it's a large and a pretty park - with a lot of paved trails that work well for bicyclists. Part of the park's scenery is that of untouched nature although I do have some glaring complaints: 1) some parts of it is muddy with tracks as if there are planned construction to remodel the park 2) some shrubbery and knocked down trees need to be cleared - I saw a little more than too many 3) there's pieces of plastic trash that can be found littered around Rowlett creek 4) and perhaps the most disturbing one of all, in my opinion, is seeing runoff drainage at the creek - made even more disturbing that the creek, while pretty, is lifeless. I saw not a single fish after staring at the clear creek for a long while. Now, that's scary. However, this park is definitely a good "people's park." There are fields and courts for multiple sporting events such as soccer, baseball, softball, and basketball. There are also multiple playgrounds for the kids. There's plenty of bbq grills flanking creeks, and plenty of picnic tables. And add the thought of insurmountable amount of open space - and it's easy to see why many flock to this park, making it beloved, bringing together people of diverse backgrounds from Richardson, Garland and Plano. If they work on improving habitats for wildlife and bringing their creek back to life, then I would surely give this beautiful and expansive park more stars. But for a bbq spot or a kite-flying spot, I can see myself thinking of this park first. Overall, it's a great park for the area. read more

Pretty nice large neigbhorhoold park near our friend's subdivision. Ample parking spots even when we went in the evenings. There's a big pound with a gazebo. There are nice trails around for running, cycling, walking or jogging. Been there twice so far and thank goodness, both times were not too crowded. Quite a few cyclists who rode too fast. Will be going back more when weather gets warmer. read more

This is a beautiful neighborhood park if you're anywhere near the Richardson area. I'd say this is kind of like the "White Rock Lake" of this area. You can manage a good nice long bike ride or run if you include some of the neighborhoods along with the park. I felt very safe running in the neighborhoods as well and there are a lot of nice homes to look at. There are also plenty of water fountains if you're here in the summer months as well as pavilions. It does kind of end up like a maze in a sense so perhaps take your phone with GPS so you know where you're going if you're unfamiliar. I enjoyed running out here though. There are a couple of little lakes and scenic parts as well. I'd would run out here again for sure in the event that I'm back out there visiting friends and such. read more

My review is based on some of the walking amenities at the park, so please keep that in mind. I arrived on a Friday afternoon searching for a scenic half hour walk. The walking "trail", such that it was, near the lot I was in, is probably a golf cart trail or similar. It's paved and plenty wide, and part of it took me around a very nice lake with geese and ducks. There was a little elevation change, plenty of sun and a lot of peaceful. The restroom was decent, kind of a campsite style, with a commode that resembled a permanent porta-potty. It was clean and had paper, so that's good. The parking lot I was in was a gravel and dirt affair, but fairly smooth. Overall, a nice visit, but not exactly what I'd call a walker's paradise. read more

I have been here two times and both have been nice experiences. There's just enough people - parents and kids - to feel safe. I like how the park has baby swings but my only gripe is the playground not being covered by shade. I'm not used to the heat and sun since moving here. Don't forget to bring or wear sunscreen or come during off peak hours - before 11am and after 2pm. read more

We came here for a picnic on a Saturday evening. The weather was fantastic, and we enjoyed our time in the park. Covered pavilion with the picnic tables did a great job for us. We enjoyed a breeze from the lake. Our kids were having fun on the playground first. They also managed to bike and play soccer on that evening. The park is huge... We would come here more often if we lived closer. read more

Lovely park, but not really a good park for walkers or runners. The layout of the sidewalk is a little nonsensical and all over the place. I feel like I'm just walking in random loops. I mainly go to parks to walk my dogs so a good walking path is the most important feature to me, and I don't like the way the path is designed here. However, this park does have tons of open space, which makes it much better for picnicking, playing a pickup game of soccer or football, flying a kit, things of that nature that require more space than what you have in your backyard. The park in general is pretty well maintained. It's in a nice and quiet area, and I always feel pretty safe going here. Overall it's a nice park, just not my favorite for dog walking. read more

It's pretty empty so Sundays must be a great day to go. We went into the creek and explored, it was so much fun. There are lots of places to picnic, and park. I also heard about their 4th of July blowout. I wish I would have known, I surely would have gone. There was plenty of green, the water was clear, and cool. It was just a great park, and it has a couple hundred acres to explore. read more

Nice grass fields with covered seating and covered dugouts. Not sure why scoreboards don't work with a big state tournament. Ladies room - every stall out of toilet paper by mid-afternoon. Concession stand says they have nothing to do with it. read more

Most people do not know this fabulous park exists on the east end of Richardson. It's not quite White Rock but it's for sure the closest thing to it north of 190. There are soccer fields, paved and natural trails, places for family cookouts, two play parks and lots of beautiful old growth trees. Enjoy July 4th with Richardson's spectacular fireworks event held here or next time it snows bring a sled and slide down the hills that ring the soccer fields. Lots of fun at Breckinridge Park in Richardson Texas read more

Huge!! But gorgeous. There's so many different ways to get into the park. We had family pictures done and they turned out amazing

Giant park in Richardson is great for taking walks. The playground at Lot B is wonderful for younger kids. The playground at Lot C has swings. We've seen snakes on the unpaved paths, so we like to stick o the developed portion of the park. read more
