Red Bird Park

Catch up momma! It's time to play.
I am gonna climb all of that stuff.

That's for little kids, but I'm a big kid, so I don't need to play there. ;)

Look at me!

I climbed to the top of this.

Look at that tunnel bridge!

It's cool in here.

Do you see how big this slide is?!

I like to swing on my tummy, it's fun.

Can I go run over there?

It's another field! Can I run there too?

When it started to rain, we had a picnic in there.

Mommy says:  Red Bird Park in Duncanville (300 W Red Bird Ln) is to be a somewhat-hidden gem. The park is almost 17.5 acres large, with a .56 mile walking trail, a pavilion that can be reserved, several picnic tables, plenty of open are to play ball or run around, & a playground that includes a structure for big kids & a structure for small kids, swings, & plenty to climb on. There is also a water fountain (though be careful, The Boy discovered it could create a mini splash park if he was so inclined... and he was), but no restroom. We were told that there are usually horses out in a field that back up to the rear of the park, but they weren't out during our visit.

Armstrong Park/Kidsville

Look!

Fun!!
Look over there mommy.

A train & a depot mommy. What's a depot mommy?

I wanna swing over there.

Look at me!

I'm a big boy, I can do it.

It's a big mouth.

A car wash!!

I wanna eat lunch there.

Look at me! I'm gonna sing Johnny B Goode.

I love tennis.

I'm playing with sticks. (Can you find me in this picture?)

Look at the trees.

I saw lots of butterflies in there.

There are flowers in here too.

"Lellow" flowers.

Mommy says: Armstrong Park in Duncanville (315 E Wheatland Rd) has, as far as I know, the coolest wooden play structure in DFW. It is massive & so detailed. (The only down side is that, because it's so large, you have to stay right on top of small kids to know where they are.) There are lots of picnic tables & benches, plenty of trash cans, a restroom, a play structure, swings, baby swings, a covered pavilion that can be rented, a gazebo, an amphitheater, tennis courts, garden areas, lots of open areas to play, & a walking/bike trail. It's worth the drive (if you aren't near by) to spend a few hours enjoy all the park has to offer.
