What parents say
"A big park with lots of variety for plying. There is a sand pit, and a little kid playground as well. There was one shelter with picnic tables underneath it. I do wish they had more shade coverings for the play areas. Also, many of the individual play items were gated off. There was plenty of parking availability in their lot. We would return to play during cooler months."

"Really nice and clean park. There's plenty of parkings. It is part of the rowlett community. It has restrooms and picnic area. It also have a walking trail. The park has lots of trees so it is shaded. There's chairs for parents to sit while watching the kids play. Definitely will come back."

"This is one of my kids favorite parks. My kids favorite thing at a park is monkey bars, and this park has a really good, long monkey bar area. There are slides, separate area for smaller kids/toddlers, and a fun sand pit with a dinosaur and it's like you're digging for dinosaur bones. We make the drive from Mesquite bc we like it so much."
