J.R. Newman Park

Guest review  - The Bobbsey Twins' Big Adventure at a Splash Park.  ;)  

(If you don't know who the Bobbsey Twins are, I suppose I am aging myself.)

 Splash Park!

 (Aren't these two adorable?!)

 A "barn" to play in.

 Horses to ride.

 A place for the smaller kids.

 Basketball.

 Great place for a picnic.

 Plenty of room to kick a ball, fly a kite, or play a game of tag.

J.R. Newman Park in Frisco (8211 Twin Falls Dr) is a great place to cool off in the summer, or climb around any other time of the year.  The playground, splash park, basketball court, & pavilion are all enclosed in a fenced area.  There are large fields to play in just outside the fenced area.  There is a working water fountain, but no restroom.

Bi-Centennial Park

Look at this tractor! I wish I could ride it mommy.

What's that mommy?

((I have to give it to him, this is not a pretty site, but it is an in-line hockey rink.))

I wanna play tag. Or, hide & seek. Or... can I just run mommy?

I wanna go higher.

Swings are fun.

Look at that playground!

I like twisty slides.

Can we have a snack over there?

You go sit way over there mommy. Okay?

Mommy says: Bi-Centennial Park in Frisco (9349 Sunset Dr) is an older, smaller, less-crowded park, just down the street from Frisco Commons. There is a lot of open land, good for a game of tag or even soccer. There are bbq grills, a covered pavilion, an in-line hockey rink, a few swing, a see-saw, a rock climbing structure & a play structure. There are no restrooms or working water fountains (as of this post date), and there is an un-fenced creek to watch out for.

*Frisco's website says there are 2 sand volleyball courts & a spray park at this park. I did see the spray park, but I thought it was park of Frisco Commons (I assume this is also where the volleyball courts are). After Googling, I found this website, Matt's World, which says you should park at Frisco Commons if you are using the spray park. It also says they are adding restrooms, pavilions, & additional parking to Bi-Centennial Park in 2010. Perhaps we will need to re-visit this park at a later date.
