Our first visit to Harry Meyers Pool in Rockwall was a success!! We arrived 10 minutes after…read moreopening and there was still plenty of daybeds available. Parking is free! To my surprise this establishment is cash only! I was ready to turn around with my 8 year old son and find a nearby atm, however the nice young lady at the front desk named Chelsea was kind enough to admit us in complimentary. Her small kind gesture is what I knew will bring us back summer after summer. The pool was clean, they had music playing and they allow you to bring in outside food and drink. 10/10 recommend, make sure to bring sandals because the pavement gets really hot! We had a wonderful afternoon, can't wait to come back!

Harry Myers Park is an expansive park with a wonderful kids playground in the heart of Rockwall. I…read morevisited on a crisp winter day with my wife and son, and we enjoyed the walking trails through a busy disc golf course and around a large pond. Then, we visited the recently renovated children's playground that has a large playground structure, swings, a zipline, and a warped wall. There are also at least two bathrooms located throughout the park- always a plus. Oh, and there's also two dog parks and a swimming pool, plus ample parking. If you're looking for a fun place to take your kid or go for a walk or run, this is a great spot. It gets quite crowded in the summer, but hey, it's popular for a reason.

We've always enjoyed going to Harbor Bay Marina during the summer, but today's experience was…read morereally disappointing. A few weeks ago, we arrived to launch our boat, and there was no one in the office to collect the launch fee. Rather than leaving without paying, we left a $20 bill with a note. The launch fee is $12, and when we called the next day, we were told we had an $8 credit. Today, we returned, paid our launch fee, and asked to use our $8 credit. Unfortunately, the lady manager was incredibly rude--not only to us, but also to the employee working in the office. The tone, attitude, and overall way the situation was handled were completely unnecessary. We always try to do the right thing, and that's exactly what we did by paying even when no one was there. It's disappointing to be treated with such disrespect after making the effort to be honest. I hope Harbor Bay Marina takes customer service more seriously because no customer--or employee--deserves to be treated that way.

It a nice little spot for fishing, but we didn't catch any fish. We tried all kinds of bait except…read morelive minnow. A guy passing by said he used live minnow the other day, and that's what they like, so maybe we'll try that soon. They do sell bait and minnow here. It was $3.49 for a dozen live minnow and $6.49 for a bag of frozen shad. $8 per person. $1 per additional rod. Bathrooms are pretty clean. The fishing barge is located at the end of the pier. Enter through the main store. There's an inside fishing area in the barge with a rectangular hole where you drop your line in. I didn't go there because there are people in there smoking up a storm. We fished outside at the end of the barge facing the lake. Be careful if you choose this spot because you can get your line snagged very easily, especially on the right side. 3 stars for paying $8 and no fish and also for losing 3 lures from snags.

Samuell Farm is a cute farm in Mesquite, TX that recently hosted a farm fest which we attended. The…read morefarm itself is very spread out and the activities were a lot of fun. From potting plants to goat yoga and even a train ride, there was plenty to do. The fest was geared more towards kids so if you're planning for a day of fun in the area, put it on your calendar. It's also dog friendly so if you want to bring a furry friend you're able to. We had a lot of fun although you can do just about everything in around 30 minutes. There's a few food trucks as well if you're looking for a bite to eat and there were free gift bags on the way out with snacks, which were nice. A quick and cute event for adults, a day of fun for kids.

We just moved to Rockwall and were looking for a playground for my 2 1/2 year old girl. I also have…read more4 month old twin boys. This park is awesome!! I love that it has the canopy over it to provide shade. It's so helpful because I can bring my twins too and don't have to worry about the summer sun and heat as much. It's awesome that they have bathrooms. There are so many different things for my daughter to do here. We will be coming back here all summer!

I am visiting my son in Dallas & helping Granddaughter move out of Garland TX. I needed a place…read moreclose to both. This was a perfect spot. Maria greeted me at gate. I told her I was in site 15 for 2 days then moving over to site 13 for ten days. She said give me a few minutes I will call the guy in site 13, because she thought he had left early. I had to unload my tow car anyway, so I said great. She called me a few minutes later saying guy had left & I could just park in 13 for the duration. This saved me having to unhook & move RV. THAT IS great customer service!! Now the park. The sites are spacious, deep & wide. Easy to back into. Great areas to walk your dogs. Showers need a little TLC, but I checked all 3 that were open (1 was being repaired). One had a good shower I I took an early shower after setting up. The fields around the park are well maintained. Road getting to park (maintained by city was a little rough). No street sign at turn off, due to construction on road. Price to stay here is fantastic. Close to Dallas area & many other cities. I highly recommend this place.

Even though the park is for the most part is well kept outside; however, I cannot say that about…read morethe bathrooms. I am greatly disappointed at the condition of the bathrooms and the showers. I wish the money that was put into the park would be used to remodel the entire bathroom and showerfrom scratch and make it modern. It's so unfortunate that the leaders are supposed to upkeep public spaces are abusing the income of taxpayer money to benefit themselves. The gatekeepers nevertheless are very lovely people who greet customers. Therefore photos I have taken of the showers that I think needs to be addressed publicly and hopefully somebody will take action and fix the issue. Plus, there's no heater or fan in the bathroom that works. In the bathroom that doesn't have electricity doesn't have electricity and yet people still pay $14 a night for the entire system.

Duck Creek Greenbelt Trail is about 3 and half miles, looped trail located near Garland, Texas and…read morethe trail isn't very difficult. The trail is good for hiking, walking, running, and road biking. The trail is also accessible year-round. Dogs are welcomed on the trail but should be leashed. There is a lot to do there depending on your preference. The trail runs through some trees and eventually leads to a nice little scenic lake. The trail is made of concrete so its great for running , biking or anything else with wheels. The lake would be a good spot for a picnic too but be warned there's a lot of walking before you get to the lake. There's also a nice playground for the kids as well. I would avoid coming on to the trail if there was any rain in the previous days because the trail path can easily flood making it very unpleasant and too wet to cross. There is a soccer park close by if you want a wide open field as well. Check it out if your looking for something to do on a nice day!
