Austin Kent Ellis Park

You might notice that this post looks a little different... That's because we have a special guest reviewer (isn't she a cutie?)! Thank you to our wonderful reviewer (and her mom, of course) for taking the time to share her park trip with us.

Pavilion/rain protection
Awesome climbing tree.
Old school monkey bars offer a fun challenge.
Ride on toys, total of 6 (This set of ride on toys is more fun when filled. There are 3 single ride ons too.)
This playscape is a good challenge for young toddlers through about 6 years old. There are 4-5 small slides and 1 big twirly slide.
This is our favorite spot.
Playing under the trees is our favorite thing about this park. It's also the perfect place to pretend to be a wolf. Talkie speaker set is very low for young children.
This is the structure for older kids. We weren't impressed by the playscape, but it is a good place to hook up with the older set of playmates, ages 6-9. There are also swings here, baby and big kid.
This was a real challenge.
If you have a young child that is obsessed with swinging, you MUST bring them here. This swing is low enough for a 2 year old to learn to swing unassisted.

Guest reviewer says: Austin Kent Ellis Park in Lewisville (810 South Orchard & Fox) is an older structure made awesome by lush fields and mature trees. The property is on a main street (Old Orchard) but the playscape is set way back from the road and buffers by the parking lot, which parks about 10 cars. You have a great morning making this park your destination. Hit the playground, make friends, and play hard. Spread a blanket under the trees and have some snacks. Bring a sketch pad and colored pencils and sketch the trees and animal life. Don't forget a ball to kick around or even some nuts in shell to bait the squirrels. In late fall, you can collect or play with horse apples. After an hour or two, you'll have to leave to find a bathroom!
