Dog trash bin and bag area for cleanup. We were at a baseball practice on a Saturday morning utilizing the grassy area due to a T ball game going on upon arrival. It was unpleasant to know that two dog owners that were talking walked off after knowing one of their pets pooped. This was right by our ballers warming up too. Small parking lot near smaller open baseball field. Other than that most cars park alongside the streets. Nice park!

The City of Murphy Parks & Recreation knows how to do Parks right! North Hill Park is Exhibit A in…read moreproving my point. This 12 acre park built in 2009 & 2010 sits adjacent to the Rodeo Drive Water Tower and The Gables / The Ranch Subdivision HOA Swimming Pool. It has a huge pavilion with ten (10) picnic tables (I think it is the largest of any of the City of Murphy Parks but don't quote me on that) in addition to several individual picnic table sites. There is a full basketball court (usually in use), a soccer field and lots of open space for playing with family, friends and dogs. The sand volleyball court beckons the young and energetic. Lots of much appreciated park benches scattered throughout the park. Mix in a backstop, 2 shaded playgrounds (a must for dealing with the Texas Summer Sun), drinking fountain, swings and a 1/2 mile concrete walking trail and you have one awesome park. Well landscaped and maintained. In short, a must and frequent stop for the local neighborhood, visitors and especially for dog walkers/pet sitters like myself. This park is perfect for fur baby memory making and pet photography. P.S. For all pet owners visiting the park don't forget to pick up after your fur babies or be prepared to pay a hefty fine for violation of the City of Murphy Pet Waste Ordinance.

This five acre neighborhood park has everything you would want in a local housing community park…read more Renovated in 2012, it is beautiful and in great condition. The park is located in the Rolling Ridge Estates in Murphy, Texas 75094. Given the size, location and the fact that it was built as a neighborhood park this is not a place you want to load up your kids and dogs and drive 30 minutes fighting DFW traffic to come see and spend time at. Don't get me wrong... this is an absolute great park deserving of the five star rating I have given it but it is a park for the local community and service people for the neighborhood. As a Murphy Texas dog walker I love the park and it is perfect for dog walkers and pet owners. It would also be great for baby sitters or children care-takers that are providing services to one of the homes in the neighborhoods. Absolutely, the neighborhood community should be spending some quality time here. If you are considering buying a house in the DFW area you should factor in your buying equation this awesome park. But, with all that being said, it is primarily an awesome local neighborhood resource. Love the large pavilion with multiple picnic table, bbq grill and electric outlets. Plenty of benches well placed by the water and along the .38 mile walking path which surrounds the park. An awesome walking path for your fur babies of all ages and sizes. It has two shaded playgrounds (a must when dealing with the Texas summer sun), an open swing set, a rocker, baby swing set and two water drinking fountains. The pond is beautiful and fishing makes for a good way to pass the time of day here. Be sure to check out the photographs as they paint a much better picture of this park than I do. If you are in the neighborhood you owe it to yourself to check it out and spend some time here.

Terrace Park is on the East side of Hwy 75. The park has a small neighborhood pool. While I…read morepersonally would never swim here, I'm certain it is popular with the kids during the summer. The shallow end has a beach-type entrance that gradually slopes into the water. What drew me here was Dog Splash Day. Neighborhood pools in Richardson are open limited hours in the blazing hot summer when kids are out from school. Pools shutdown nearly a month before Labor Day because kids are already back in school. However the real fun happens on the last day of the season when they open the pool up to humans and dogs. The dogs had a blast swimming, jumping, and peeing in the pool. It was about 109 degrees on this particular summer day in August. There was very little shade, so what little they had, everyone was congregated under it. The people running the event took more cash than was advertised to get inside. City of Richardson said $6, but the gate entrance told me $7. The City of Richardson advertisement online said this was a fundraiser for the shelter, but Richardson Shelter staff on site did not acknowledge this. They said they were there to break up dog fights. Someone was kind enough to give me a pupcup which I used to lure my dog to the water. He got his paws wet, but didn't venture any closer. On his own volition, he did head over to the water to cool off, but upon it touching his belly hair, he immediately ran back to shore. Fun event! Glad I went. Will try again next year to get my dog into the water. Hopefully it won't be as hot.

And while that makes the park a very good one for the games it makes it a little difficult to navigate to a specific game because you have to walk through and around several other games to get to a particular game.

But overall I think kids soccer is a great thing and I love that the city of Garland has dedicated this amount of space to the kids playing soccer.
