    Think of just about any outdoor activity on level ground and you'll find it at North Lakes Park…read more The 350-acre property features miles of walking trails, plus countless amenities, from soccer and baseball fields to tennis courts, volleyball courts, a frisbee golf course, a driving range, playgrounds, picnic areas, fishing ponds, and a beautifully maintained dog park with multiple pens. The restrooms are kept clean, and there is ample parking, even on the weekend. This is a great place to get some fresh air, whether solo or with family and friends, and enjoy the beauty of nature!

    North Lakes Park has been a great resource for me and my family and friends who visit during the…read moreyear; it features the Tennis Center, which is hard asphalt regulation tennis courts that are free to the public during the day. A central feature is the park's paved jogging trails, which includes a model airplane flying center, and the city's recycling center and even a dog park, at the extreme end of the system. The city's Police Department features great officers who can help via 911 Phone Calls, 24/7. Fortunately for the residents who live close by, response times are prioritized by the severity of the situation and the need for urgent assistance. Denton, Texas is going to grow with respect to the Dallas, Fort Worth, and Arlington area by virtue of the local attractions offered to the voting public's attention to the very positive thing that green spaces offer to the people. Cheers, Mark F.

    Having years and YEARS of experience as a long distance trail runner I very much find solace and…read morepeace in the great outdoors. Ray Roberts Johnson Branch is a beautiful park with lots to do. Bring the family or come solo. This is a smaller part of the Ray Roberts park so it is a very safe feeling here. Fish, hike, bring a picnic basket! I very much enjoyed my travels here, and simply cant wait to visit again to get some trail time in!!

    I've camped here twice now (once in Sept and once in Oct) and can attest that the state park is…read morejust as great both times. Both times, you are greeted right at entrance and given an introduction by some really nice staffers. Regardless of whether you're a newcomer or not, they will give you a map and help orient you around the area. The site that we chose (Dogwood Canyon again) was clean and nicely spread out from the next site. We don't know if any staff members come by to check on the place after check-out but every time we've come now, the site is pretty clean and clear from any litter. Unfortunately this time around, the toilets weren't that well stocked with toilet paper so yes, bring toilet paper while camping! This should be for best practice anyways. :-) Other than that, we did have some noise disturbance in the evening from rowdy kiddos - it doesn't seem like anyone really patrols around to keep parties in check like some negative Google reviews may have suggested, who knows! The hikes were great, I would rate the blue and orange trails to be pretty mild-moderate. There are some slopes and there are some spots you may need to "climb" a bit but nothing too bad! I absolutely love having this park to get away to from the busyness of the city. Makes the $75 annual pass so so worth it (otherwise, it would be $7 per person, per day for admission)!
