Review for the Disc Golf Course…read more I love this place. I only started playing disc golf recently because it's a more fun, less frustrating, and free-to-play alternative to ball golf. There's a lot of things I can say about this course, but I want to start out with the unfortunate cons first. Trash. There's a lot of it right around hole 5, then again from hole 10 on out. One of these days I'm going to bring some giant heavy duty trash bags and one of those grabber claw things so I can tidy up some of the holes. I already love this sport, and I think taking care of the course should be normal for all players. Same as in ball golf, if you take care of the course, the course takes care of you, right? Turner is memorable and challenging, but I think it's a fair place to practice. You will be exposed to a lot of different types of shots and looks, and I find new challenges every time I play there. Turner definitely favors players with more power on some holes. Especially the last one. For me, since I'm still very much a beginner, I see the longer holes as just more opportunities to practice! There's usually two porto-potties right by the practice basket before the first tee box. I don't think there's any public facilities along the course, which this place could definitely use, especially with how long it is. Perhaps that's something that can be pitched to the city some day. Bring lots of water on hot days because it's a really good hike. The distance and terrain aren't too bad though. I walked the entire course with my 4-year-old about a month ago and he only needed to be carried on the very last two holes. Overall, highly recommend. This is my go-to practice course, because the water hazards at Fritz keep eating my discs.

This course makes good use of The limited elevation that they have. The challenge of the course comes in if you play it straight up (on/in and beyond creeks and sidewalks is o.b.). All in all it's a good place to get in a quick round.

Often a red tailed hawk to be seen, and always egrets and herons. You can get in a lot of miles if you want to, and there are several different ways to do it - different forks in the path and lots of ways to vary it up on different days. Walker and biker friendly (although 100% paved). Bikers, please be courteous and alert walkers when you're coming up behind them ("On your left" is standard). Our family has done some of these trails too many times to count. Some people have pointed out that it's flat. It is mostly flat, unless you head towards the big hill next to the frisbee golf portion of the trail. But it's still an excellent network of trails that covers a LOT of territory. You could take the trails far enough north that you head to West Plano, I think. And they keep expanding south as well. I really have to credit Carrollton with doing a great job with these trails over the years. (We lived in Carrollton for 9 years and I miss being walking distance to the greenbelt.) Last note - I'm not a frisbee golfer. We've solely used the trails, not the disc golf course. (Some people have only focused on the disc course, whereas the entire greenbelt has MUCH more than that - as previously mentioned.)

Once through to the back where the courts are, you head back downhill to the courts themselves. There are 16 courts total. The area is surrounded by woods so it is nice and quiet. The courts are blue and in decent shape and there are lots of grassy areas for spectators and shade. The parking lot is small and we witnessed many people parking on the lawn due to both lack of space and shade.

Terrace Park is on the East side of Hwy 75. The park has a small neighborhood pool. While I…read morepersonally would never swim here, I'm certain it is popular with the kids during the summer. The shallow end has a beach-type entrance that gradually slopes into the water. What drew me here was Dog Splash Day. Neighborhood pools in Richardson are open limited hours in the blazing hot summer when kids are out from school. Pools shutdown nearly a month before Labor Day because kids are already back in school. However the real fun happens on the last day of the season when they open the pool up to humans and dogs. The dogs had a blast swimming, jumping, and peeing in the pool. It was about 109 degrees on this particular summer day in August. There was very little shade, so what little they had, everyone was congregated under it. The people running the event took more cash than was advertised to get inside. City of Richardson said $6, but the gate entrance told me $7. The City of Richardson advertisement online said this was a fundraiser for the shelter, but Richardson Shelter staff on site did not acknowledge this. They said they were there to break up dog fights. Someone was kind enough to give me a pupcup which I used to lure my dog to the water. He got his paws wet, but didn't venture any closer. On his own volition, he did head over to the water to cool off, but upon it touching his belly hair, he immediately ran back to shore. Fun event! Glad I went. Will try again next year to get my dog into the water. Hopefully it won't be as hot.

Despite the constant flooding that occurs in the area when it rains, I feel like they still do what they can to make sure they keep up the park. They've actually expanded the width of the sidewalks which is great for the rapidly growing area. They've also added a flower garden for those who want to sightsee. The pavilion is also kept up nicely, be sure to arrive early because it is constantly being used by large groups for events and etc. The one thing I do wish they had along this part of the trail are bathrooms and better water fountains. But it's great if you like to stay active with biking and running and there is plenty of parking and it does feel safe for the most part. Spring/ early summer is a great time of year to go and check it out, stay cool under the shaded trees and enjoy nature!

As an avid dog and animal lover as well as a professional dog walker/pet sitter I can tell you that…read moreYelp got it wrong on this jewel of a Plano Park (i.e. it is way more than just a disc golf course). First off, we should discuss location, location, location! I am a 75074 based pet sitter and this park is very close to my home base. The Plano Parks & Recreation lists the following address for Shawnee Park: 3380 Sherwood Drive, Plano, Tx 75074. So I don't where the info disconnect on whether it is a 75023 or a 75074 park but I do know it is a great community park. This neighborhood park has it all, including the following: disc golf course, hike bike and dog walking trails, playground, sports practice fields (first come, first served), restrooms, grills, picnic tables, sand volley ball court, and a small lake with a fishing pier. The pavilion holds a maximum of 50 people (no limit on the number of dogs and pets that I am aware of) and can be your rental as follows: resident rental rate $50, non-resident rental rate $100, $75 deposit requirement and other fees may apply. Amusements/sound allowed. This is a excellent park for walking, playing and exercising your fur babies. If you and your dog/dogs haven't had a chance to spend any time together then you need to correct that over-sight real soon.

There were about three other groups spread across the 18 baskets, so no crowd issues to deal with. The course appears to have been laid out originally as 9 holes, and then they added 9 more pretty much on top of the original 9 (you end up making a circular circuit twice). It's a little confusing at first figuring out which basket you are targeting, and where the next tee-off pad is, but everything is pretty well marked (although we never did find the basket for #17). For the most part, the holes are pretty wide open. Several are straight approaches across open field. A few do take you a little ways into the woods though. I'd call this an intermediate course, but a beginner would find it fun as its not too technical. The only advanced part is a couple of the distances and some curve approaches. There are a couple of ravines to watch out for, otherwise, pretty minimal chance of losing your disc as the trees and shrubbery aren't real thick. I'll definitely play this one again.
