Rose Meadows Neighborhood Park

This one has monkey bars!

Bumpy slides! 

 Look at me!

 This one is for little kids I guess.

 This is a good hiding spot for hide-and-seek.  My mommy couldn't find me here.

 It's like the zoo!

 I'm riding a gorilla.

 That is a good picnic spot.

 That's another good picnic spot.

 Basketball!

 A good spot to run.

Mommy says:  Rose Meadows Neighborhood Park in Irving (1505 Rose St) has two covered pavilions, a basketball court, 2 play structures, and an open grassy area for a game of kick ball or tag.  The play area also has 2 gorilla statues & 2 alligators to climb on.  There is no restroom at this park, so come prepared.

Senter Park

The playground!

 I played in all the sand!

 I went up & down ALL the slides.

 Bouncy bridges are my favorite.

 I wonder what happened there mommy.

 Swings are fun, but I didn't swing this day.

 Volleyball (this sand was fun too).

 I want to have a picnic here, there are lots of tables around.

 I wanted to get closer to the water, but mommy wouldn't let me.

 When it's summer, I want to come back & swim here!

 Do they play a lot of tennis in Tennessee?  (Smart kid, eh?)

 I found a hill to roll down!  Weeeeeeeee!

Mommy says:  Senter Park in Irving, TX (901 S. Senter St) is a nice park for walking a trail, playing some volleyball, or having a picnic. There was plenty of sand to keep any sand-love happy, but it would stress out any neat-freak moms.  ;)  There is a stream running through the park & although it's fenced off, it was be easy for a toddler to run under the fencing.  There was a sign up that said "no soccer" which was a little strange, so keep that in mind if your child likes to take a ball to the park.  The was no restroom outside (there was a port-a-potty though), but I'm sure there was a restroom inside the rec center.  There was also a water fountain, but it looked a bit questionable to me.

Cimarron Park

Look at all that mommy. I'm gonna go play.
I like twisty slides.

That one has a bridge!

I'm gonna swing like a big boy.

Look at me!

We can eat Goldfish here. ((Yes, that's really what he said.))

Mommy said we couldn't play there today. ((This is at the school, but opens up to the park.))

Volleyball!!

...and soccer! I like soccer!

We can eat Goldfish there too.

I'm playing basketball.

Next time we can play tennis.

LOOOOOOK!!

I want to play THERE!!!
