Let me start off by saying these are the most pristine, high-end athletic fields I've ever seen at…read morea community park. Even the bleachers were fancy. How very Southlake! If I were rating this based on the ball fields, it would more than likely be five stars. But, being a mom of kids not yet in sports, I came for the playground, and that is how I'll rate the park. It's an okay playground. A little small. It was big enough for my 5 kids because they were the only ones there, but I imagine on a day where sports are going on at the fields, the playground would quickly become uncomfortably crowded. My kids loved the woodsy theme - log slides, large mushrooms to climb on, doors in trees - and it was fun to watch their imaginations run wild. It's a great start for pretend play. Unfortunately, the playground has NO SHADE. No shade over the play structure, no shade over the benches. With the Texas sun and a metal slide, this is not a good combination! I'm no arborist, so I couldn't tell you if the small trees around the perimeter of the playground will one day be huge shade trees or not, but I'd venture to guess my kids will be long grown before that happens. There is a shaded seating area outside of the playground where parents of older kids could sit, but it's a little too far away for most to feel comfortable leaving a toddler, I would think. The bathrooms are clean and nicer than what the typical park has to offer. All in all, North Park doesn't stand out against the other playgrounds in the area. Bicentennial Park is just around the corner and is a much better destination for kids to burn energy and moms to catch a break.

Bleh... what a gross park. (see pics)…read more Where do I begin? Most of the equipment is broken and/or has been basically abandoned and left to the ravages of elements. There's vulgar graffiti all over the playground equipment (which is apparently next to a hazardous area), lots of broken glass in the parking areas, people who just seem to randomly drive here and park....and you can tell that other then a quick mowing there is little in the way of landscaping. They've converted a large gated area of the park from two baseball areas (one at one time use to be a baseball field - I imagine) to a handful of small soccer areas (that's the only thing I think they could be, since there are bleachers in the outfield area facing each other). If they ever get the funding to repair this park, here are 3 suggested solutions that I think they need to consider. First, build pathways within the park (it seems to be keeping the vandalism down at Haltom Road Park - which is mere blocks away). Second, move the playground area away from the creek (aka Hazardous Area). And finally, consider your areas needs. The Asian and Hispanic population is growing around this park, see what they would use it for. I don't know what else to say other then recommending that (for now) you find another park then this one (Rosebud, Broadway and Oakhurst Park are far better for kids).

There is a small communal area or "park" people may utilize for physical activity or overall mental and emotional health.

This park is tucked away a little bit, but once you find this hidden treasure you will enjoy it too. Check it out!

The City of Bedford has made a number of somewhat odd decisions lately in regards to their parks,…read moreincluding but not limited to the renaming of the Bedford Boys Ranch to Generations Park (a terrible name), going forward with a 70 million dollar park renovation project in the midst of a pandemic that has surely decreased city revenues, and putting in this tiny music park in front of the Old Bedford School. It looks like "Sparkling Ice" in some way sponsored this project, but in the end I think the money could have probably be better spent. The idea is cute: a park with musical instruments that are fun for kids to play but don't offend the parent's ear. Bicentennial Park in Southlake previously did a great job with this. The instruments at both parks have a nice sound - low chimes and soft drums that are actually quite soothing to listen to. The difference between Bicentennial Park and the Musical Pocket Playground is that Bicentennial Park has a traditional park surrounding the music area with slides, swings, etc. The musical instruments are fun and the kids do love them, but it can only hold their attention for so long. There needs to be something else available for play if the park is going to be a repeat destination for young families. What the Musical Pocket Playground does have in close proximity is the library, but with no walkway connecting the library to the music playground, people may not think to stop by when they are picking up their books. If you live in the area, it's worth stopping by to take a look, but I wouldn't plan on spending more than 15 minutes and I certainly wouldn't drive from another city.

A little extra research on the park will reveal the true answer to this mystery. The park has plenty of landscape to attract those who wish to spend time in nature.
