Musical area

I was really impressed by this park today! Took my 2 and 4yr Olds here early and only two other people there. Park has some real novel playground equipment that I haven't seen before. Love that they have a traditional area, a smaller kids/learning area, climbing area, musical area, and a zip-line area. Take a look at some of the pictures. And when you're bored with that you can get over to the pong to check out the ducks. This is one of my favorite parks I've been to and I travel around looking for new parks to take my kids to!

Dobson Ranch Park is Bruiser approved.

Dobson Ranch Community has multiple cool parks with water-side locations. Bruiser, my dog in the picture, fits into a small carry case with his head peeking out the top. The case handles attach to my bike handle bars with Bruiser intact. Anyway one of our favorite outings is touring around the many lakeside sidewalks in Dobson Ranch. And as much as the hunter dauchsund in him wants to chase every cat, bird, duck, and fish we see, he says patient and disciplined in his ride along bag. When on ground Bruiser appears fearless, willing to bolt after any game. The only Dobson Ranch game I will refrain from allowing Bruiser engagement are geese. If you have been around geese, it is likely you have witnessed their aggressive nature and sharp snap. And one rarely confronts a singular goose. To the points, they typically work in pairs or small groups, much like a bullies. One learns fast with geese. They are not toss out bread crumbs friendly. It's more like toss out the bread loaf and run.

Beautiful park!! My cousin and I visited here a few months ago (when it was cooler). We strolled around the beautiful lake and saw some pretty little ducks. We even met some friendly people walking their dogs also. Very nice park!

I love these night strolls along our neighborhood lake! The amenities here are amazing! There are 4 community pools to choose from, various clubhouses, basketball courts, tennis courts, gazebos, and more!!! It's amazing how well they maintain this community here for such a low HOA fee compared to other communities! I have lived here for almost 15 years now and don't plan on leaving this neighborhood for a long time if ever!

Gorgeous day at the park!

Dobson Ranch Park is a great place to spend quality time with family and friends. It is free to enjoy and located right next to the public library and a gorgeous lake. This park has wonderful ammenaties like large pavilions with lots of seating, a well kept playground, public BBQ's, and a walking path that loops around the beautiful lake. This park is a nice place to visit if you want to shoot some hoops, play at the playground, fish in the lake, take an evening stroll, do some BBQing, or simply relax on the grass and watch the ducks swim around.

There is NOT a splash pad here. Google and yelp keep bringing this park up as having one. It is a nice park though.

Family oriented park, with very little cover provided by trees but plenty of shade. Kids are usually at this park.

Went for a quick one-mile walk and ended up doing two. It's like Bridge to Terabithia in the heart…read moreof the city: seven ponds, shaded trails, turtles, birds, and a floating boardwalk, all free. The mental health messages along the paths are such a pleasant touch. If you want something more leisurely, you can do an easy walk around the lake. My mom found this helpful, instead of venturing back into the trails. Parking fills up fast, but the library next door has plenty of free spots, and parking there is allowed, so you won't get towed. Bring water!

Being from NYC this is our version of central park. I love the observatory which is open Friday…read moreand Saturday nights sunset till 9pm. It's free but donations are appreciated. They are rib by volunteers. The trails are clean, dogs welcome everywhere, horses in designated areas, camp sites also available to rent which come with bbq grills and pits along with space for tents. Check out their website for the info. This is a great park to take your kids to the playground, go fishing, get your steps in, take your dog food a walk or have a date. Many picture perfect spots which are popular for graduation, wedding, and birthday pics. I even saw a couple get married on the bridge at sunset a quick 5 minute ceremony to not hold up anyone. Parking in a few spots and adjacent to the library for extra parking. 2 bathrooms I've been to are clean and maintained. Water fountains also there.
