Griggs Park is one of the best parks I have been to in Dallas. It is one of the cleanest and there always seems to be somebody there. Either with their dog, enjoying the trail, or working out. The park is in a neighborhood in uptown Dallas so parking can be a little tricky. The city does a great job maintaining this park and there are plenty of poop bag stations for your pups. read more

A cute little park, perfect for just walking around, but with enough space to sit about or have a picnic and be able to get a glimpse of the Dallas city skyline. Around fall/Christmas time, the trees turn a lot of beautiful different colors. And they put Christmas lights and decorations out. A perfect example of making what little space there is into something very pleasant! read more

Great park in the city! They host outdoor movies every Tuesday at 8pm with FREE popcorn!!! No other food or drinks are available, so most people pack a picnic or stop at one of the nearby restaurants. Also, no bathrooms, so make a stop beforehand. Great girls or date night spot! read more

Griggs Park - Parks Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Easily one of the best places in Dallas to visit! Beautiful park with the best city views! It's FREE. The parking is also free but it's kinda hard because it's street parking/parallel within a neighborhood- but overall it's so beautiful and spacious- you can walk your dogs, have picnics, and I've seen yoga groups and other workout groups! There's also a jungle gym for children- this is the perfect little park all around ! Note- Dogs are supposed to be on leashes at all times (so it's not a "dog park") read more

We LOVE Griggs park! It is our favorite by far, and when i say we i mean me and the dogs lol There is so much open space, great for picnics, or to just hang and read a book for a while. As far as walking, it's just one big circle pretty much so you can do some laps around. I love sitting on the big hill and getting some photos of the Dallas skyline. My dogs love to just run around and roll on this hills. Unfortunately most people keep their dogs off leash and have them catching a ball on the entire field so it's kind of frustrating to have them take up nearly the entire space of the park but haven't had any bad interactions here, unlike other places. The park hosts spring and summer time movies in the park which is a great idea. I believe they do hosts other events throughout the year as well. It's a great park, great location! read more

Was in town and wanted a park with trails to go for a run. Not a lot of parking, just on the street next to it. Seems like a good spot for people who live in the neighborhood to walk their dogs. Trails are paved so I got a run in but the park itself is pretty small and right next to a highway. Other reviews said there were good views of downtown but it was overcast so I didn't really see any views. Also there are no bathrooms even though there is a playground which I found odd. The history of the park is very interesting. read more

We love Grigg's park! It is always well kept with lots of active walkers, runners, and dogs. My pup in particular loves all her friends there. Unfortunately there's a good chunk of people who don't pick up after their dogs, but there are multiple poop bag stations for free. read more

What a great park. Very well maintained and the pets and their humans are all very nice. Thanks for picking up after your pets, don't forget to bring bags or ask any human attached to a dog for a bag! read more

Love this park for its wide open grass area and views of the Dallas skyline. This is truly an oasis in a big city. I am surprised it is not more crowded, but perhaps the lack of parking and congestion in the streets around the park are to blame. When I was there, there were tons of people just walking their dog around the walkway that encircles the park. There are a few random places to sit, and there are designed-for-dogs drinking fountains at ground level. There is also a little workout station and a comprehensive playground in the corner of the park. read more

Loved the peacefulness here. The only downside were the crawling ants when lying on the soft grass

Nice park since renovations finally complete. No play equipment for kids but there aren't a lot of kids in the hood. No basketball court like the previous park. Nice pathway that goes throughout. Plenty of green space for your pup to run around. A few poo stations and several waste stations to dispose of that poo. This park would be better with a fenced in dog area, a basketball court, and maybe a few swings. There may be additional plans to expand. For now, it's a green space with paths which is fine for my (and my dog's) needs. read more

Love this park!! Great to stroll around or walk you pup. Free workout classes and activities are happening all the time, just walk up. read more

Cute little park near the highway. We came here for an outdoor event and although it was hot it was well organized. Since it was in uptown the parking is a little difficult. Their outdoor playground is nice because they have a separate area for older kids and younger kids. My 2 year old really enjoyed it read more

How would you rate a park? On the number of trees, the quality of the recreational fields, or maybe the location? What about parking? I mean...there's only so much you can say about a park. If you were to consider the rating of Griggs Park on these qualities, I'd say it was up and down the scale. So therefore, it gets a four star. Our kickball team is playing at Griggs for this season, and despite our poor losing streak, it's my favorite park to play in so far. First, the cons. Parking is no good. No good at all. Griggs is mushed up on the side corner of the State/Allen district...and we all know how crowded that neighborhood is. With so many neighborhood homes, bars and restaurants, parking is impossible. There isn't a designated lot anywhere, so you have to roll the dice and park on the street. I circled the block a few times before finding a spot, but once parked everything was a-okay. The recreational fields are in better shape than some of the other parks I've been to, and it's much larger. While we were playing, two other games were going on and we had more then enough space to play. Because it's more recreational than leisure, there are no trees that I saw, which is totally fine. Word on the street is that they're trying to get rid of the fields and make it an off-leash dog park. While I love my dog and think more outdoor space would be cool, I also don't want to see such a great rec park go to waste. If you're trying to plan an outdoor sports day or a softball/kickball/soccer tournament, Griggs should be on your list. read more

Uptown spent a lot of money renovating this park. Before it was renovated it wasn't the prettiest park ever but it was always full of dog lovers and people exercising and playing sports. They closed it down for wayyy longer than planned and now it's a lot less usable. Again, what did people use it for? Exercising their dogs and playing sports. Now there is no usable space for sports and they are fining people $200 for having their dogs off the leash. Not to mention, the entire middle part of this park has major drainage issues. It was not designed well. It gets all fenced off every time it rains and is unusable. One of my biggest issues with this park is that it has so much space! They created a mound so that you can either sit on it and see downtown or be shielded from downtown by it. However, there is all this space behind the mound that could VERY easily by fenced off as a dog park! Everyone would win! They would keep the unleashed dogs out of the way and give all of uptown's dog lovers a big safe space to play! PLEASE PUT IN A DOG PARK BEHIND THE MOUND! read more

I really like this park. We used to come here fairly often when we lived in the State Thomas neighborhood, because it was such an easy walk from our home. We would come and throw a ball around on the beautiful expanses of grass. Sometimes we would bring a blanket and sit and read or have a picnic. There is a gorgeous view of the skyline from this park. Now we live a little farther away and don't come as often, but we were dog sitting for some friends this weekend and remembered that this is a great park for dogs! They have a big area where people let their dog off-leash (although it is against the rules, and we didn't do it, I swear!) and plenty of grassy areas where your dog can sniff. There are complimentary doggy waste bags and plenty of trash cans to dispose of those bags. It's a really great city park. read more

Great park renovation! We stared longingly through the construction gates for 9 long months, but it's all worth it now! Let me just say this up front - there are so many dogs in the area that need green space, and this park has quickly become the State Thomas neighborhood backyard. It is overrun by dogs by 5:30 PM on weekdays. It's great if you have a dog. I'm not sure how others without dogs feel about it, but we love it! They've also added lots of seating area, which is really nice. The sound/sight barrier hill they added is a great addition! The view of Downtown and Uptown from the top is great! Definitely take some time one night once the sun goes down to enjoy the view. It's pretty awesome! read more

Waiting and waiting for the park to open. Would have been really nice to hang out n throw the ball on Thanksgiving. Though I noticed that the small piece of grass available on State is sadly covered with dog excrement. Why is it that dog owners do not feel responsible for picking up after their dog?? My dog actually stepped in another dogs excrement so he got a paw wash when we got home. This a responsibility of the owner. Don't get a dog if you cannot pick up after them. We look forward to the opening, if it even happens this year. read more

Love this place since the renovation. There's a path that wraps around the whole park and a lot of spots to sit. The middle area is nice for catch or a picnic. There are dog waste stations so there's no excuse for not picking up after fido. read more

Griggs Park is one of my favorite parks in Dallas to bring my dog, so I come here several times a week. The park is very wide and spacious and allows my dog plenty of running space to play fetch. He's a golden retriever, and he loves it here. There usually a handful of dogs here, too; however, I've never seen more than maybe ten at a time. The park is usually very clean, and everyone always picks up after their dogs. Normally, you're not allowed to have your dog off-leash, but rarely, the police will come by to enforce this rule. One side of the park is encircled by a slow neighborhood street, while the others are fenced off from the highway. There is also a large circular sidewalk within the park for exercise. And occasionally, people will be playing on the field or at the basketball court nearby. Griggs Park is a great park to check out, whether to get some exercise in or to play with your dog. Definitely come check this park out. Plus, you get a great view of the city! read more

My husband and I bring our puppy here often. I live closer to Cole park but I prefer this one because it's cleaner and has a safer feel to it(see my review on Cole). I really like this park it's well kept, spacious, lots of trees and a great view of the skyline. There is a drainage issue but I think it might just be the out of control rain we've been having the past few months. Watch for puddles especially if you have a dog. There's not that much parking either but we've never had too much of a problem finding parking. Expect a lot of dogs off leash even though it's against the rules. I've never seen an issues with that though. read more

Great park. Wide open and well maintained. Lots of open dogs playing but there is a ton of room . Good seating areas to people watch and read as well . Premier park- relaxing read more

This is a nice, quiet park with no kids. (Huge plus...no screaming all day) I can't speak for parking...it isn't an issue for me because I live in the neighborhood and walk here with my little dogs. However, so many of the dog owners are disgusting. All the dogs are off leash. Most are behaved but some are not. And NO ONE cleans up after their dogs despite plenty of bags and trash cans. Other than that, I love that it's quiet and never too crowded. read more

My favorite park in Dallas. We live uptown so it is just a 4 minute drive from our spot. I have a 1 year old and I love how there are two playgrounds in the play area. One is your standard kids playground, but off to the side is a smaller playground for toddlers so they have more to explore! It's perfect. The park is well kept and I can easily find parking nearby. A lot of people have off leash dogs so keep that in mind. They're all usually well behaved and I've never had a problem. There are some dog poop bags around too. The hill has an awesome view! Compared to some other parks around, this has the least amount of "weird" people. read more
