Windmill Ridge Park

 This park looks fun!

 That's for little kids though.

 We can sit there for a snack!

 There are even MONKEY BARS over there mommy!

 I like this park.

Mommy says: Windmill Ridge Park in Rockwall (106 Mulberry) is a small neighborhood park with lots of fun things to do.  There is a small covered pavilion, a separate playground for smaller kids, a water fountain (no restrooms), and a creek running behind the playgrounds.  

Jewel Park

 Look at all those swings!

 Whoa!  So cool!

 I've gotta check this out.

 Look at us!

 LOOK. AT. THAT. MOMMY!

I love this park!

Can we come back when it's not cold, so I can play in the water?

Mommy says:  Jewel Park in Rockwall (7123 Hunt Lane) is a great treat for the kids the love sand!  There is a HUGE sandbox, with a sand/water table, a play structure, swings, a climbing structure, a covered picnic area, and a little open space with soccer goals.  If it has rained recently, be sure to pack some towels & extra clothes because the mud pit - ie sandbox - is a kid magnet!  There is a water fountain at the park, but it was not turned on when we visited.  The sand/water table was also turned off.  There is no restroom.

Meadowcreek at Madison

I tried to go for an adventure in the trees back there, but mommy told me not to.

See that house down there? That's my house!
I found a cool bench under this one. It's my secret hiding spot - shhhh.

Mommy says:  Meadowcreek at Madison in Rockwall (1420 Madison Dr) is a small neighborhood park. There are 2 play structures & there is a short walking trail. There is no restroom or water fountain, so this spot is really best for killing a little time if you live or need to shop nearby. There are benches to sit on, and a little open area to fly a kite or kick a ball.

Northshore Park

Look at this cool park.

I've never seen a merry-go-round like this before.

Look at me!

Whoooooaaaaaa! This is wavy.

I don't think I can climb all of this.

Slide!

My daddy pushed me on the swings.

This is so cool. Look!

You hit the buttons when they light up! Fun!

I wanna play basketball.

Hopscotch!

Even the doggie can get a drink here.

I really want to have a picnic here!

Wiffle ball? What's that mommy?

Mommy says: Northshore Park in Rockwall (609 Highland Dr) is a the top of the cool parks list for sure! Of course we wish it were bigger, but you can't have it all. With a small, yet really cool playground, a basketball court, hopscotch & four square boards, a wiffle ball field (with the balls & bats!), swings, 1 picnic table, and the very cool Neos 360 (for video of it in action, see our Facebook page)! This park doesn't have a restroom, but it does have a water fountain. The park is right next to a school, so you might want to avoid it during drop off/pick up times.

Lofland Park

(Due to weather conditions, park trips have been on hiatus. These pics are flash backs! Guest appearance by The Bestie.)

I had a party over there once!

I like the merry-go-round and the slide and the swing and the merry-go-round and...

Weeeeee!

Time to rest.

The CHOO-CHOO!

We are playing chase in the choo-choo train.

A stick!

I like water! ((The smaller pavilions can be seen in the background.))

Mommy says: Lofland Park in Rockwall (407 Kernodle) is a favorite in our family. It's hidden & not well known (until today at least). However, there is no restroom. There are several pavilions that make great spots for picnics or parties. For play there is a slide, swings, merry-go-round, jungle gym, & a bouncy animal on one side, & a "train" to climb in/on, with a slide, steering wheels, & pole/ropes to climb up or down. There is also an open area big enough for a game of football, soccer, or tag.

The Park at Fox Chase

A map.
Fast slide!
This was scary.
Water!

I climbed a boulder!

Mommy, I wanna play basketball.

This is a park.

Daddy had an adventure with me.

Mommy says: The Park at Fox Chase in Rockwall (Tubbs & Summer Lee) has a playground (not that great for smaller kids), a splash park, a pond, picnic tables, a covered pavilion, a basketball court, an open grassy area, & a climbing boulder. There is no restroom at the park. The park is a great place for a picnic or a short nature walk, or to cool off in the water on a hot summer day.
