Last year when we went, we saw photographers meeting their clients and this year, it was the same. Last year, closer to Christmas it was decorated, and it had christmas trees. However, this year when we went, it only had pumpkins. I guess we went too early. There is a gazebo in the center, and there is a nice fountain as well. Overall, very nice and clean. parking isn't an issue.

Great dog park! Having just moved to Carrollton, we were in search of a dog park. Tried another…read moreone first, but once we came here, that was it. There are three section-small dog, large dog & water. Be aware though-the small dog area gets a little swampy too when it rains a lot. All three sections are quite large and grassy (not muddy). There are plenty of poop bag stations, trash cans, water fountains and shady areas. The other pets and pet parents have always been wonderful and friendly. We have been to quite a few dog parks in the DFW area since moving here, and this is my favorite by far (and the dogs love it too). Note: To get to the dog park area, turn where the Carrollton Animal Shelter is-the dog park section is on the right just past the shelter.

So I had no clue about this "secret dog park" until I was chatting with some folks at the Waggin'…read moreTails Dog Park in Coppell. Apparently people have flocked from there to come to McInnish Park and I'm sad to say, I'm one of those people. McInnish Park doesn't come up right away in searches when you're looking for dog parks so that's why it's a hidden gem. They have a good amount of parking and the standard separate sections for big and small dogs. But wait for.....there's a THIRD section.....ohhhh....ahhhhh.....ohhhhh! The third section is welcome to all pups and features a pond/lake/watering hole for your dogs to swim and play in! I have a six month old pup and while he's been in the water before, really had no idea that he would jump right in. Wrong I was. He could not get enough of the water and sadly I had to pay for it later while attempting to clean him off. The space is nice and heavily shaded so perfect for day time. You have your standard crazy dog people who like to camp out in the small dog section with camping chairs, coolers and cliques so be aware of that. Personally, I would rather socialize with the four legged friends.

There are some awesome slides, including this one metal one with teo bars that the kids put their arms over and slide down on. Another one is a tube slide. There's a sidewalk that goes all the way around the playground that's good for bikes and trikes, and lots of green area to play. Also 2 basketball courts. Definitely a nice park.

It's still early so who knows what goes on during a nice cool day to relax in a park with your family and bbq it up. Huge playground and couple of picnic tables.

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!

This park is so beautiful, we love walking to the pier and watching the tadpoles and fish swimming around. There's a long walking trail which we didn't get to walk all the way down today but we will have to make time for it. You can't go wrong no matter who he path you take, you will find picturesque scenes everywhere. In fact, there was a photo shoot taking place today while we were there. Relaxing pre-lunch outing, I'm sure we will be back again.

This is a beautiful park, in many ways far superior to the more popular Bob Eden park. The trails…read morefrom McCormick Park connect to those at Bob Eden (and Bear Creek) but this stretch of the trail is shadier and much more lush in foliage. It's a perfect walk for a hot summer morning. The park also boasts a pond with fishing pier and a very sweet little bird watching area, a nice gazebo, and a small (but fun) playground. The playground is FULLY SHADED by the mature trees surrounding it. The only negatives to McCormick park, so far as I can tell, are the absence of both a bathroom and clear trail maps. There is one map that gives an overview of how the main trail connects to the different parks, but I think there ought to be a more detailed trail map at every fork in the trail. And not having bathrooms is a serious drawback for people with kids. I pushed my luck too long this morning and my 2 year old peed her pants. Parks need bathrooms!

A hidden getaway from the city, Lago de Claire is a 1.3 mile loop with spectacular views of the sunrise and sunset. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars Atmosphere - La Villita is a Spanish themed mixed-use neighborhood. There are apartments, town homes, parks, and single family homes. Right in the middle is Lago de Claire. On a cool, weekday evening or weekend morning, the lake is full of people and energy. You'll find families, runners, walkers, and people of all cultures. 1 Star. Service - The only service here is cell phone service, and it's good. 1 Star. Lake - I love walking around the lake every day. There's a gazebo on the north end of the lake, which is a great gathering/resting spot, and it overlooks the lake. On the east end are the canals, and you'll find several ducks or birds depending on the season. There's also a small square with two dancing statues. This is a very popular space for gathering and is especially busy in the evenings. I love walking around Lago de Claire at different times of days and take photos of the sunrise, sunset, and lake itself. Bonus - if you play Pokémon Go there is a gym here. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. I walk around the lake everyday depending on the time. It's the best part of this hidden neighborhood and a great place to visit. 1 Star.
