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.

In between two baseball fields. Love that there are bathrooms nearby and that kids of all ages can find something fun to climb or go on. Pack a lunch and bring the 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!

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.

There's a creek that runs through it (hence the name) lol There is plenty of parking & they also recently added this cool playground. Now, I wish there was some type of shaded area because it gets HOT. Other than that, it's conveniently close to home and we recommend it!

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!

If you live in the area it's a nice place to take a stroll and take a break under all the shade trees. Thank you to the parks and rec department for keeping this little park alive. It's a nice escape from the bustling downtown noise just on the other side of the streets.

Still the best of the best in the city of Irving! I mean let's be real the nature trails are one of…read morethe reasons why I still reside in this wonderfully diverse city. 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!
