Both have an agility course you can practice with, spigots for water, large bowls/plastic kiddie pools to hold water in, and plenty of benches. There are some shade. People bathrooms available and a kiddy park within walking distance if you have a big family. Doggy poo bags are available if need be too. Oh man, I wish I had a park like this back at home.

This is the cleanest dog park I've ever been to, closing each day between 8 and 9 AM for cleaning. The park has great parking and plenty of space for dogs to run. There are 2 separate areas for large and small dogs, with plenty of shaded benches for people and pets. There's also nice bathrooms for people!

Holy cow! How does this park not have any reviews?!!! So we are somewhat new to midland and my kids…read moreand I have been visiting the same 2 playgrounds since we've gotten here. Wanting to venture out and see what else was out there I went to the Midland parks and recreation website and found a list of playgrounds in the area. We decided to go to Grafa Park today and WOW! It. Is. AWESOME!! The playground is HUUUUUUGE! There is so much to do on it: climb, slide, explore! It's super tall too (which, with a 18mo, I had to get up there with him because the openings for the ladders make me SUPER nervous.) But, hey, it was so much fun for me too!!! The slides are GREAT! There is also a huge walking track around the reservoir(???) I think that's what it is. My kids (and I) LOVED it! We brought a sub sandwich, chips and our drinks and had a picnic at one of the many picnic tables here. There are also plenty of benches and shade trees too! So glad we found this park! We can't wait to come back!!!!

This is a very sweet park which we are so happy to have found! It's not so big but there's a…read morewonderful play structure on one end and a big lawn with a walking trail on the perimeter. And best of all, lots of SHADY TREES! We've found an evening walk here to be a nice way to wind down the day. It's very relaxing as there's often a cool breeze funneling under the trees and a high gate between the park and the road to protect from all the cars. Nestled enough within a neighborhood that it isn't dusty (locals know what I'm saying!) and full of people playing with their dogs and families until sun down, so it feels very safe. About the dogs - they've always been good boys and girls and we have had no problems at all with them. However, we have found a lot are actually off leash when they play so just an FYI, if it's not your thing.

This is a fairly nice park, though empty on a Saturday in the Texan Spring, probably because it's…read more102 Degrees. We came to use the dog park but contrary to what's listed, there isn't one. Nice baseball, soccer, and softball fields and general grassy areas. You can book the fields in advance for private games or for more recreational, group sports and there are bright lights in the evening to light up the fields (necessary when the day is 102!). No picnic tables or very much shade though, so probably not the best for just hanging out.

As a stay at home mom of 3, we have been visiting playgrounds of Midland. (I looked up a list of…read moreplaygrounds on the Midland Parks and Recreation website and we've been checking them off). We've been to this playground a few times and the kiddos have a good time! I think there is enough equipment to keep the kids busy. I like that there is rubber ground cover on most of the playground. Some also has the wood chips. This playground is nestled in a sports complex so I am sure it would be great for other siblings not playing sports. All in all, a nice playground. We'll be back.

Miracle play equipment includes: 1 big slide, 1 little slide, 2 big kid swings, 2 baby swings, 1 saucer swing, a couple climbing ladders, those "weird 3 ball climbing thingies" and a "cat walk" type thing. I do like that the playground has that squishy rubber ground cover in case of falls. There are also some workout equipment for adults including an arm press, rowing machine, leg press and a "gazelle" type thing. A decent-sized walking track goes around the area as well. Not sure how long this park has been around but it appears that it used to have a bunch of trees here but the empty open squares throughout the concrete leads me to believe many of the trees died. 2 picnic tables and numerous benches are here as well. There is an older single soccer field here as well. Only 1 goal remains which leads me to believe they don't play real games here. A youth soccer team was practicing while my kids played on the playground. Usually there is no one here when we come. All in all, a decent playground to mix it up. Not the greatest but I like that it's usually just to ourselves.

Have brought my kiddos to this playground a few times so far! We LOVE it here!…read more It's a decent sized playground with enough equipment to keep the kids busy and not bored. I even enjoy climbing up the main structure and going down the 2 HUGE slides! The kids appreciate that there are "different" play equipment at this playground... the wiggly/wobbly balance apparatus is really neat and the spinning "merry-go-round" is awesome! I like that there is artificial turf as a ground cover. (Not a huge fan of the wood chips under the swings... there always seems to be singing ants in wood chips). There is minimal shade here, mainly just above the large main structure. Another mother I was speaking to said she wished more playgrounds had cover/shade. There is a small pond with a dock next to the play area. That makes me a bit nervous as my middle child has no fear... I can just picture her wandering over there if I take my eyes off her for a split second! All in all, a solid playground. Hasn't been busy during any of our visits. We'll definitely be back!

The playground itself isn't HUGE but they had fun. I don't really like how far away the swings and spinning equipment is from the main playground. It's hard to keep an eye on different kids when they are so spread out. I did like that the main playground has the rubber ground cover but the swings and the spinning "thing" had those messy wood chips There are MANY walking paths around the park. They all zig zag around. Incorporated around the trails are some built in workout equipment. A couple picnic tables are here as well so pack a lunch! I guess they are fracking right next to the playground. There is a huge barrier wall which I had to inquire about. I was told that was supposed to help sound proof... I didn't hear anything so either it works or they weren't actually doing it at the moment. We liked this park so we'll be back.

Visited Hill Park today for the first time! It is definitely a nice little park hidden in a…read moreneighborhood. The kids had a great time! There were 2 play areas: one for bigger kids and one for smaller kids. The bigger kids playground had 2 slides and different climbing structures. The smaller kids playground had a duel slide and a moving bridge. There were a few spinning playground pieces as well. Lastly, 2 big kid swings and 2 baby swings rounded out the play equipment. The main negative is that this playground had that messy wood chip ground cover. I personally prefer the squishy rubber ground cover. Hill Park also includes a walking track around an area that occasionally fills up into a pond. During our visit, the pond was there with a few ducks. It was kind of a hassle to have it there as the little kids kept wandering off near it. (Nervous!) We will definitely return! (Totally forgot to take some pictures of this fun little park!)
