Where was this park when I was a playground warrior 25+ years ago?…read more Never have I ever been to a park where they literally have everything. I've visited this park twice and both experiences have exceeded my expectations. Endless patio benches and tables, a clean bathroom that's perfectly located, and a pristine jungle gym that will have your offspring worn out by the time you get them home. Plenty of trees for shaded picnic and parental lounging, and I was elated to discover how maintained the lawn is. My favorite aspect of the park is the little book cove they have nestled by the playground. Kids are encouraged to take a book and/or leave a book at their own discretion. Parental guardians might be a little wary of this right now due to COViD-19, but just wipe that bad boy down and the reading material should be good as new! Last time we visited, the ice cream man showed up! My 4 year old nephew was able to take a break and enjoy a refreshing popsicle treat then get back to work--up and down the slides! He even met a friend out there--with whom we plan to have play dates with in the near future. How cool is that!? I think we have found our PARK HOME!

It's a good walking trail and easy on the knees if you're over 45ish and don't exercise much lolread more

The beautifully lit trees transformed the park into a winter wonderland and created the perfect backdrop for an evening spent listening to a good book. The walking path is easy and peaceful, making it enjoyable for everyone, including those who brought their fur babies.

Vitruvian Park is beautiful any time of year, but during the holidays it's absolutely enchanting. If you're looking for a festive evening stroll, this is one of my favorite spots in DFW.

Though it's not the best looking park, cosmetically, this park is a great park to go if you're looking to get exercise, take your mind off of something, or maybe do a little light fishing. I did not play disc golf, so I don't have a review for that course. Unfortunately, I did not catch anything while fishing; the pond closest to McCoy Road is the clearest, and at times you can see largemouth bass really close to the bank! Go enjoy it for yourself and get some exercise and fresh air! Good day, Charles

This is a review of the disc golf course at greenbelt Park. I've been playing here for several…read moreyears, and it's a go-to for me because it's close to my house. This course makes good use of The limited elevation that they have. The challenge of the course comes in if you play it straight up (on/in and beyond creeks and sidewalks is o.b.). All in all it's a good place to get in a quick round.

There is a fountain in the middle of a pond that is quite relaxing to listen to. The area is a nice and safe area so you don't have to worry about this either. It's located behind the shops at Legacy and the Marriott. It seems like a nice place to come to after you shop or eat at the shops. The ambience is relaxing and there is plenty of parking in the area, too. I love how clean it is and the water doesn't smell or anything. This place is well kept and you can tell. I can't wait to have date night here when this pandemic is over!

It was until i got a herniated dish and couldn't walk too far that i decided to check this place out. HOLY COW. This place is the most serene, quiet, calm, clean mini park i have seen. There usually only one it two other people here when i go, and it's like having the park all to myself. It's so tiny, so as you are walking you can see the entire park in a circle. This really helped me mentally when i herniated my disk, so now i come here when I'm stressed and need a mental break! I love this kil secret park.

If you find yourself in the Plano/Carrollton area and need a break from the concrete jungle, Arbor…read moreHills Nature Preserve is an absolute must. My husband and I came here for a weekend trek, and it's easily one of the best outdoor spots in North Texas. What I love most is the versatility. Whether you're looking for a smooth, paved stroll or want to get your boots a little dusty on the dirt hiking trails, they've got you covered. It's a great mix of elevation and flat stretches. It's a great spot for everyone. Pets are welcome (on leashes!), and there is a fantastic playground near the parking lot--perfect for kiddos who still have energy to burn after a hike. You'll see a beautiful variety of plants and likely some local wildlife. Just a heads-up: they do have warning signs posted for snakes and poison ivy, so definitely keep an eye on your surroundings while you explore. The parking lot is huge, but this place is popular! We arrived around 1:00 PM and it was nearly at capacity. We were lucky to snag a stall, but I'd definitely recommend arriving earlier in the morning if you want to avoid the parking hunt.

The entrance area is always crowded so people don't get to see how amazing this place is. It's incredible because once you go off trail, you can see for miles to around and the sunset views are phenomenal. There are plenty of shortcuts around this area if you just want to do a quick loop to the observation tower and back to the main entrance. I took my old dog out here years ago and went off trail to isolated areas. I hope other dog owners get to see how happy she is and how much joy dogs get from being in this place. It's fairly common to see people taking family photos here but again, I truly recommend walking in off trail areas for 10 minutes to get spectacular photos.

Part of the City of Carrollton park system, Branch Hollow Park is located at the east end of Branch Hollow Drive and is a nice, 3.5 acre area with lots of shade trees. There are 2 lighted, fenced in tennis courts, a pavilion with picnic tables and grills and a large playground for the children. You can burn off a few calories in the court, let the kids work off some extra energy on the playground and meet up with friends for a meal or just relax in the shade. The park is located at the north end of the Carrollton Blue Trail, a 4.25 mile paved path that winds along Furneaux Creek in the greenbelt. So, it makes for a great starting or endpoint for an invigorating run or bike ride, or a leisurely walk. There's a small parking lot and lots of street parking available. Hope to see you there!

They are almost always being used when we drive by day or night. There is a nice waterfountain for people and dogs by the court but im not sure if they are working now(because of covid) There are a few picnic tables one with a covering. The playground is very well maintained with lots of different things for the kiddos to play on. The covering is rubbery which helps cushion falls. The blue trail is right behind it if you feel like doing some walking/riding your bike on a wide divided cement path (is about 4 miles). Very close to the tennis courts are three very well maintained butterfly/insect/bird areas.

There are so many different areas, things to do, and experiences for kids to venture within the space. More of these everywhere!!

I wouldn't necessarily recommend this playground…read more We have a three year old that is special needs that is physically strong and doesn't have any physical abnormalities to him. We saw other kids his age there as well at the base of the orb with their parents. He became completely fixated on traversing through the orb thing in the middle of the playground, as one would be as it's an amazing structure. He kept trying over and over and over to go up the ropes and into the first layer of the orb. He was scared, the layers of the orb are made with rope, and I had to go with him while helping him physically, which was heavy on me physically, and I am fit. There were certain parts in that first 'orb layer' that had no net and a steep drop off to the ground. My boy thought it might be fun to try jumping off of it so I had to fight against him to keep him from those parts. I went down the slide with him in my lap to get down. We tried every single time to distract and recenter his focus to get him to try the other playground areas but he was fixated on that orb and wouldn't stop. He is athletic at 55 lbs so usually he prefers the big kid areas at parks. We ended up having to carry him out with him crying, kicking, and screaming due to this playground orb feature. We went to another nearby playground, which was a blast.
