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

This is the coolest free indoor playground I've seen in a while! Don't be alarmed of how small it…read morelooks from the outside or inside, it packs a MEAN PUNCH! Those slides in there especially the blue one is adult sized and oh so fun! I went down it a few times an almost had whiplash from the speed and all the twist and turns! And it feels like the slide goes foreverrrrr. The entire playhouse is tall enough for adults to play inside which is hardly ever the case at most places! It was jam packed full of people by the time we left, and we got there right when it opened at 10am. Check in is a breeze. You tell the nice lady behind the counter your name and kids name and they give you a sticker. If it's your first time you simply fill out a form and then get the same sticker. Shoes have to remain on and it is located inside what looks to be a mega church! Ample parking and very nice parents who go there.

The indoor playground at Prestonwood Baptist has REOPENED and offers FREE fun to the public 5 days…read morea week (not including during Sunday services). The sweet spot for this playground is probably 3-6 years, but there is plenty to do for the younger ages too. The max age for entry is 10. There are slides, climbing areas, and a rubber-bottomed hill for the kids to run up and roll down. Despite being fully closed in, the play area is bright and doesn't feel cramped at all (in comparison to Irving Bible Church's THE TUBES). Everything was exceptionally clean. The playground is open M-F from 10a-4p. It is free and open to the public, but you must check in at the desk in front of the play area before entering. No food or drinks in the play area and children MUST wear shoes. This was a bit of a drive for us, so I packed a lunch and after the kids had their fill of the playground, we headed over to the indoor eating area on the opposite side of the church ("The Commons") to eat. Overall a great morning of free fun - THANK YOU Prestonwood Baptist Church!

There are activities for kids of all ages. It's clean and nicely maintained. Parking is not a problem and there are also benches and a nice shaded patio for people to bring food to eat here. This park is also next to tennis courts or pickleball courts and a water park. Only downside of this place is that it's next to the main street, so it can get noisy at times.

If you live in the High Country subdivision of Carrollton, Texas, you need to visit our beautiful…read moreneighborhood park. 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!

This is such a great neighborhood park in Carrollton. It is on Branch Hollow just south of Hebron…read more They have 2 very nice lit tennis courts that they recommend getting reservations for. 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.

Some of these other reviewers must have encountered a wholly different experience than we did!…read more Albeit, we are not from the Dallas or Farmers Branch area (or even Texas), but we were so impressed by how nice, well-maintained, and unique this public park for kids was. It was really refreshing to see, and for the most part, people there were also taking care of the park during its use as well. 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.

One of the best Splash Parks in the area! It operates from May 1 to September 30 from 9 am to 8 pm…read more There is a water channel so bring your floating toys, sprays coming out of the ground, and two slides. There are only two benches underneath the shaded tarp so bring lawn chairs to sit under the large tree. The splash pad is small enough to keep an eye on your kids. Note that I like this park because it offers a variety of fun unlike other parks where it's just a few water sprays. Don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed. If the kids are tired of the water, they can walk to the turfed pirate themed playground or volleyball court for sand play.
