Audubon Park

Whoa - look at all that!  (The playground is divided into 3 sections.)

SECTION 1:  This one is really for the little kids.

 It does have a lot of slide, but I'm just too big to play on this one now...  I'm a BIG BOY.

SECTION 2:  See the swings?  and, see those twisty climby things?

 There's the baby swings, and more climby things!

 See this one?  It's pretty cool, huh?

 SECTION 3:  I like all this stuff the best.

 Slides, a rock wall, a maze to trace, a car race, stuff to climb...  I really like this one!

See those see-saws?!  I like the slides too, you can have a slide race on them.

 I played car race with my daddy.

 I climbed this wall.  Isn't it awesome?!!

 I like climbing rocks too.  Yeah, they're fun.

 I think I want to have a picnic here next time.

 Or, we could have a picnic in one of those little "houses".

 We can play tag over here & I can run around the trees.  Okay?

Mommy says:  Audubon Park in Garland (342 Oats Rd) has something for everyone to enjoy.  Plenty of picnic tables, a fun playground - split into 3 sections somewhat by age, a disc golf course, 3.1 mile running/biking/walking trail (connects to Duck Creek Greenbelt trail), Audubon Recreation Center, and it's located right behind Surf and Swim (check link for current admission price & dates/hours of operation).  The playground is especially great for kids who like to climb thing, as there are several different skill-level appropriate climbing structures.  There is a restroom near the playground, however it was locked up when we visited.  We had to take about a 1 mile run to down the trail to find a port-a-potty (although the rec center surely has a restroom available & it is right by the playground).

Ablon Park

 The baseball field is way over there.

 Whoa!

 Cool!

 Let's go!

 I like these slides, they're kinda bumpy.

 These steps are for little kids, they are easy.

 This one is more fun.

 I love this park mommy.

 I can climb anything!

 I like playing music.

 I had slide races with mommy here.

 See this hidden part?

 Let's go to the pond!

 I wish we had our fishing poles.

 I want to play tag!

We could have a big party in there! 

Mommy says:  Arnold & Carol Ablon Park in Garland (3850 Ablon Trail Drive) is a slightly hidden park with two great play structures - one for younger kids & one for the "big" kids.  There are also two separate swing structures - one for babies/toddlers & one for "big" kids.  There is a nice fishing pond, plenty of open area to run, fly a kite, or play ball, a grass baseball/softball field, a .9 mil track, & a reservable covered pavilion.  There was a water fountain & a surprisingly clean port-a-potty.  The Boy enjoyed this park, especially the 3 slides joined together.
