A very nice weekend gateway for folks from around Dallas. Lot of activities for the kids. Beautiful Mi Cocina restaurant, clean restrooms and lot of scheduled Food trucks. The splash pad and the children park is also be try well maintained. Overall it’s a place for great experience with family. Parking is a thing here. We parked at the basement self parking of the Perry’s restaurant at $5 an hour and $5 every hour from there on. The Dallas Arts Museum is 5 minutes walk from the park or even less. Great views of the highway as well along with the skyscrapers.

Small but a lot of fun for kids! The area feels safe and the ground is soft, which is great if kids happen to fall while playing. Nice spot to relax while the kids enjoy themselves. Perfect for a quick family stop in downtown. 😊
