Fantastic park for all abilities! It is great for Littles all the way up to teens. Kids loved the race track to ride bikes around and the cute little town. The zip lines were a huge hit too!

Hope Park

Reviewed By O868ASsusanm - Frisco, United States

We love Hope Park! Our 4-year old has enjoyed it from the time he started at the tot area slide to now enjoying the whole playground. There are walking paths surrounding the park where your child can enjoy a trike or scooter. There is a pavilion with picnic tables for snacks or lunches. Schools sometimes take field trips to hope park so if you see buses in the parking lot you may find large crowds inside. It gets very hot in summer months because there is very little shade inside the playground. There are some parts of the playground that could use refurbishing, but that is only cosmetic. There is not a lot for a child to enjoy if in a wheelchair but more than most parks. Parking is plentiful and there are restrooms nearby.

What a find very close to a very busy vibrant city that is sure to offer you a stressful experience. Parking is cheap...$1.35 per hour. If you’re a member of the Arboretum, parking is free but know your code. Building and rehab efforts are still taking place. Some walking amongst the various paths will give you a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of the city.
