Lake Cliff Park

Let's play!!!

A ROCKET SHIP!!!! I liked swinging here, and the little kids were playing over there.
You can climb a rock wall over there.
Look at me mommy!

We could have a picnic in that building. ((Bathroom in the building to the right))

I can play baseball.

We could have a picnic here too mommy.

Look at the fountain! ((Dallas City Ordinance - no swimming/wading.!))

This is my daddy.

I want to go fishing here one day.

Do you see the basketball court?

Mommy says: Lake Cliff Park in Dallas, TX/Oak Cliff (200 E Colorado Blvd) has an amazing history (read about it here). The structures & nature make for a scenic walk, a photographers perfect backdrop, or a peaceful picnic. The playground is unique & will entertain kids of any age with the 3 play structures (1 for toddlers, 1 for older kids, & 1 that's a huge rocket ship) & swings. There is a restroom, picnic tables, grills, a baseball field, basketball courts, a covered pavilion, and plenty of wide open green areas for soccer, kite flying, or playing tag. The few drawbacks are: that the park isn't as clean as most of the parks we have been to, although it's not disgusting (but please watch for broken glass near the water), there is no fencing around the sides that back up to busy roads (although the playground isn't near the busy streets), and there is plenty of water for a little one to fall into, so you do have to keep them close.
