This park really surprised me in cuteness! It has a small pond and a Japanese Garden! I took a free turbo kickboxing class at the rec center and walked around the park afterwards. I was really surprised by the Japanese garden. It was quite lovely. This park was busy on the night I was there. People walking, kids doing hood rat stuff, kids playing basketball. There is a waterpark too in the next parking lot! Crazy! I'm so happy to find these hidden (to me) gems in the city. read more

It was ok. There was a fight going on in one of the parking lots that I was going to park in, so I had to drive somewhere else. The park is not big enough to run around for runners. I came here for a book club and we sat in a beautiful garden. The lake is ok, there are parts that look slimy green. It was ok, but not my favorite park in Dallas. I'll only come back if my book club comes back. read more

Kidd Springs Park - Parks Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Whether you're seeking excitement, rest, or a good time. This park essentially has everything. Contrary to previous reviews, this location is now truly stunning as you can see from the few photos provided. For anyone in the area, I sincerely recommend visiting this park. It has a very small, but thought-provoking, section that is fenced off for monarch butterflies. Once it is monarch season, this could potentially excite young children. In addition, if that doesn't excite the kids, I'm sure the water park will. It has two slides that may be frightening for the kids, but they may also be thrilling and it has a nice-sized pool. Only drawback, in my opinion, is that they only operate during the summer.(I believe) If all else fails, there is a small playground for children, as well as a park that can be reached by going off trail that has a much larger playground for children of all sizes. However, there is a tennis court, basketball court, and baseball field for the more sporty individuals, so if any of these sports are your thing, you can undoubtedly enjoy the space for your sport. Additionally, if you prefer playing indoor sports, there is a basketball court and an indoor gym that are available. However, accessing it does require payment. In my opinion, this park just has nice little additions like the vandalized tunnel and the Japanese garden for the benefit of everyone outside. If you're looking for great photo spots, there are a number of them in both of these tiny areas of the park, which each add their own vibe and flavor. You could easily spend an hour or two walking around the entire park if you truly take your time and appreciate everything it has to offer. It takes about half a mile to walk around the park on your own. Overall, the scenery is absolutely stunning. In addition to being a great place for a romantic date, it's also a great place to kill some time by strolling around. As previously stated, I'd recommend this park to anyone who is in the area. Absolutely stunning sights, and it was just a fun time. read more

Lovely for a walk! Could spend an hour or so strolling and enjoying the scenario. Some shaded spots but really wouldn't rely on shade.

Family members moved into the nearby neighborhood & we all visited the park a few times. It is a good destination for a number of reasons: the Aquatic Center, with its large pool, pool slide, kiddie pools, etc was built only about two years ago (although the hours of swimming for the general public are NOT particularly inviting), there are resident ducks that bathe, wander, swim in and around the park's lake & flowing Kidd Springs, there is a tennis court, Japanese Garden that is presently under reconstruction so we could not enjoy that, there is a large rec center that offers classes, picnic tables, barbecue grills, &, at the 5th Street entrance, there is a large playground with toddler swings, climbing wall, etc. Since parts of the park are shaded, it is a good place to come, check out the ducks and cool off. read more

This is one of the parks that the City of Dallas has recently given a facelift to. They have a great pool (water slides, wall climb, kiddie area, diving boards) and offer season passes for $50 or you can pay $6 a day for Dallas residents. They also have a recreation center that has a summer program along with other a tickets throughout the year. The actual park is utilized for lots of festivals. There is a parking lot as well as street parking. Great addition to the area. read more

This is a neat little park in Oakcliff, I did a 5k here, and I need to venture out to Oakcliff more. There are a ton of hidden gems here. The 5k started here, and there were FOOD trucks here, I LOVE FOOD TRUCKS! Too bad, all I got was a banana because I was about to run a 5k, if I had eaten anything from the food truck, I would have fallen asleep and missed the 5k. This is a cute park with plenty of parking around. read more

Nice swimming pool for all ages. Has 2 slides, a lot of shaded areas to sit, kiddie pool area and cost $14 for 1 adult & 2 kids under 11. The only negatives I would mention is the young staff at the cashier window. We sat there staring at them for 2 minutes while they were texting in their phone instead of helping us. The other negative would be there are a lot of bees around. Other than that, it's a great place to cool off. read more

Only bad thing is if you stay till 3:30 you will have to get out and repay to enter again. When we went the system was down and this happens quite often. The managers or owners of this establishment should take these young kids they have working into consideration when I was there waiting for the system to come back up so that I could pay again to get back in others weren't so understanding. Grown ass people were saying they were going to bum rush the kid at the gate and that he wasn't gonna do anything about it other grown-ups we're just going on and on complaining about something these kids don't have any control over. The young manager that was on site was doing everything she could to help she was calling everyone and we were told that we could not get in free unless the higher up will let them know if you're system is down for over 30 minutes that would be something you need to consider. So sad that they would have to go through that working there because whoever does have the control to fix the system just won't do it. read more

Love this park out in North Oak Cliff. Apparently there are lots of races being held out here and I was here for a Mardi Gras themed 5k. The park is small but great for families and in a beautiful neighborhood. Love the Kessler area! Need to come back out here more to run and venture though the hilly neighborhoods. read more

I never knew this park existed until I had a 5k here. This is a nice park. It appeared well kept and there were food trucks here on the day of the 5K. There was plenty of parking here. Nice park to go for a run around the neighbor. I would go back if I am ever on this side again. read more

The staff here is amazing! The pool manager is really professional and super informative and as for the life guards, they are all friendly and make my experience at Kidd Springs much more enjoyable! Keep it up the great work you guys! read more

I have been coming here for over twenty years, my dad has been coming here since before I was born. This park has seen quite a few generations in my family and will continue to. It has a beautifully landscaped walking path, and a pond with ducks, fish, squirrels, and all kinds of birds. We went fishing and had a blast. We found a nice shade spot and posted out with no complaints or cares. No one bothered us and we enjoyed ourselves. The kids had fun with the little play area to the left of the pond. I was sad to hear the amazing wooden playground from my childhood was torn down but I'm hopeful they will rebuild. I mean they just have to, it was epic. This park has an outdoor pool that I used to walk my brother to every summer so he could swim, I was never brave enough to swim in the dirty water loaded with kids but enjoyed the hour walk to and from here. I can't wait to bring my future spawn here to fish. The fish aren't amazing or big by any means but it's a great way to spend your weekend. read more
