If you're looking for the gold standard of playgrounds in Frisco (or honestly, anywhere nearby),…read moreHope Park is it. This is hands-down one of the most thoughtfully designed, beautifully maintained, and inclusive parks I've ever visited. The playground is massive, separated into different sections by age group, which is a lifesaver if you have both toddlers and older kids. Everything is built with accessibility in mind ramps, wide pathways, sensory features, musical instruments, and even mini pretend storefronts that spark imaginative play. The rubberized ground covering is such a bonus for safety too soft, clean, and comfortable for little ones learning to navigate the world. There's also a splash pad right next door, which is an absolute magnet on hot Texas afternoons. Shaded picnic tables and benches are scattered throughout the park, making it easy for parents and caregivers to relax without feeling like you have to hover the entire time. What makes Hope Park extra special is the heart behind it. It was created by the Frisco community with the dream of building a place where all children no matter their ability level could play side by side. You can feel that spirit when you're here. It's not just a playground; it's a celebration of inclusion, joy, and togetherness. Pro tip: It can get very busy on weekends, so early mornings or weekday evenings are perfect if you want more space to roam. Parking is plentiful, and restrooms are nearby. Five huge stars!

One of two trailheads for this park is located across from the North end of Cottonwood Park…read more When we visited in mid-May, we found the trails to be in need of maintenance--overgrown with a lot of debris on the trails. Otherwise, we enjoyed our guess-which-way-to-go-hike - spotting some wildflowers (including Green Milkweed, Prairie Verbena, Prickly Pear Cactus Flowers), and wildlife (speckled king snake (these are BEAUTIFUL constrictors which kill venomous snakes) rabbits, and birds) along the way. We came out pretty muddy at the end but that made for a more interesting adventure!! All-in-all, this trail would be more enjoyable in drier conditions when more recently mowed/maintained with the addition of a trail map and/or trail markers.

We enjoy going to the tiny Little Elm Beach as a family. Parking is free on the weekdays…read more(non-holidays) and they offer good amenities - restrooms, showers, life jackets, volleyball courts, and music. You can't swim far since boueys limit your swim, but it's good enough to get some laps in. Set up a tent/umbrella, bring sand toys and lots of sunblock, then let the kids go crazy. There's also a really neat playground within walking distance and a walking trail. Plenty to do with the little ones. As long as your expectations are low, you will be pleasantly surprised.

Loved this beach. It seemed nice and clean and everything you want off a beach and park. People…read morewere cooking out and enjoying the water. They had water rentals as well. I will definitely go back.

Most notable for its single boat launch and fishing, this park includes a boat launch and a narrow…read morehiking trail (which was VERY overgrown in May 2020 - possibly due to COVID-19). While I enjoyed the wildflowers at the park, I felt uncomfortable on the narrow hiking trail worrying about chiggers and ticks where it was hard to avoid rubbing up against plants here and there. This park seems to invite a lot of fishers and small boats. We were very happy to encounter a fisherman who had returned from a day of fishing from his highly outfitted kayak. He was kind enough to chat with us and explain some of the set up and features of the boat. We learned a lot and were thankful to find some common ground--both being from the Midwest.

The trail has some twist and winds and intersects a couple of thru-traffic roads. It's a great…read moretrail to get on for a morning run or evening stroll after dinner. Not a lot of people use the trail whenever I'm on it, I hope it gets a little more publicity to encourage others to try it out.

We have stayed here many times. This time we could not get our normal spot. We arrived and went to…read moreour assigned spot. I could not believe how crowded it was on an off week. No holiday. Well, after talking with our neighbor. These people are all living here now. It was no big deal they were all quiet and very nice to visit with. Just be warned on a holiday there are not that many spots to get so camping spots will go FAST. Also. We rented one of the pontoon boats that had a slide on it. Our grandkids had a blast the staff at the Marina were incredible.
