It's a solid course of par threes for disk golf..It has a "secret 17 hole" but it's not hard to…read morefind or is it? It does has a basketball court but it doesn't affect disk golf players at all. Restroom is available but avoid it because people are filthy animals and it's a porta potty. No sink to wash hands or a water fountain if you somehow don't take anything to drink while at the park.

B.B. Owen is located pretty much in the heart of Dallas and is surely a staple in the metroplex. I…read morefind it hard to give any disc golf course less than a 5 star review, but this one gets a solid 4 from me. Pros - Good location. Easy to get to especially if you're on the Dallas side of the metroplex. - Holes are wide open with minimal obstacles. I imagine the only way you'll lose a disc is if you throw it in the street or maybe deep enough into the trees. The walk is also pretty easy. - Clean and well taken care of. Everyone is respectful and considerate of their game pace as well as their location on the hole. Mind your manners and yell fore. :) Cons - I personally hate the level of traffic on the course. Most people are fine with it, but I like being able to take my time and not feel rushed. (Not that any one has ever made us feel that way, it's just my own personal anxiety peeking through!) - I didn't necessarily get the best read on where all the holes were and how they were set up. If we didn't end up tagging along with a fella that was familiar with the course, I don't know if we would have found all of the holes. It was just a little confusing for me. We will for sure be back at some point, but I'd probably choose from another one of my favorites.

I grew up in the neighborhood right behind the park. Plenty of good memories here and some heart…read morebreak. I go here when I really need do focus and get peace of mind. The gazebo gives a great view of the lake and being able to walk the shore and skip rocks is always a very relaxing thing to do. There's actually a secret spot tucked off away from the lake that people don't know about. Good fishing in that part, but not so much in the lake itself from the human interaction on the edge of the water. Families come out and hang out and windsurf so it's pretty family friendly. Also a nice place to go on a date and star gaze. Lots of traffic here on the holidays like Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Juneteenth, and New Years. People from all over come out and celebrate and it can get a little hectic but there's plenty of space to do what you want. I'll always love this place

This is a great way to experience Lake Ray Hubbard when you're coming from downtown Dallas. It's…read morejust 20 minutes west on I-30, a few circuitous turns down residential streets, and suddenly you're there, surrounded by a huge, beautiful expanse of water. My boyfriend and I came here on a Sunday afternoon looking for a peaceful place to enjoy a picnic, and we mostly found it. The spot by what might be described as a swimming hole (with easiest access to water) was pretty crowded, packed with happily squealing children and drunk people on jet skis, but up on the grassy hill we had the place to ourselves. We spread out our blanket, gazed out at the water and ate our packed sandwiches in perfect peace. We even wandered up the hill after lunch and explored the little playground, basketball court, and picnic tables that were there. My only complaint might be the "restroom"-- two dilapidated port-a-potties that looked pretty bad and smelled worse. But considering that it's free park, free to enjoy the lake and a pretty nice place to be in general, I can get by with mediocre toilets.

This is a really nice facility. I came here for a free Tai Chi class that was offered as part of…read morethe Healthier Texas Challenge. The class was amazing! The instructor was a great communicator and demonstrated the steps in the simplest form making it easy for a beginner like me to follow along. I was actually sore the next day! The facility is quite large and offers a variety of services. We were in a large room with tall floor to ceiling windows that faces the park. It was nice to be able to see outside and enjoy the greenery. However, this also meant that the instructor was backlit. She did not turn on the lights in the room. This was okay for me, but it probably would have been better if she has turned on the lights so that we could see her better. In the hallway, there were a lot of paintings on display and they were actually for sale. They highlighted local artists and several of their works. The paintings were priced around $250. It is very reasonable considering the cost of canvas, paint, frame, and the creativity and labor that goes into the work. The front desk staff were helpful. I stopped by there first, and one woman staff member was kind enough to walk me to the room where my class took place. The gym has several of these large rental room spaces, but it also has a gym with treadmills, ellipticals, free weights, and machines The City of Richardson allows access to this facility and Heights located in opposite sides of Hey 75 for an annual fee of $70 to residents, even less if you are a senior. You can also get a membership if you aren't a resident of the city. It costs a few dollars more. It's a great deal since most commercial gyms cost $100 a month compared to the price here for an entire year! The hours change, so it is best to check the web or call the main number. It's usually open until 10pm on weeknights, excluding Fridays, but closes earlier on the weekends.

As a Richardson resident, the city will mail out letters occasionally that will provide for two…read morefree rolls of the blue bags. These blue bags are how the city picks up recycling at our curb once a week. I had such a letter and needed to get some blue bags. They are fairly inexpensive to buy if you don't happen to have a letter. The woman at the counter was so pleasant and cheerful! Richardson is a great city to live in. We are lucky to have such great city services: trash pickup twice per week and recycling pickup once per week. Also a Babic- Brush and Bulky Item Collection can be scheduled for larger bulky trash items (furniture, old appliances, etc) weighing over 50 pounds, brush and tree trimmings, etc. The pickup day is the same as your recycling day. This varies depending on where you live within the city. You can go to the city website www.cor.net for more information or to schedule your bulky pickup. There is also a phone app "My Richardson" where you can also schedule through. So convenient and easy!
