As the temperatures rise in North Texas, it's time to relish some family moments outdoors. Visiting a nearby playground with your kids is not only an excellent way to keep them entertained but also to let them burn off some energy — all without spending a dime.
Here are some of the best playgrounds in Frisco:
Hope Park At Frisco Commons Park
8000 McKinney Road, Frisco
Suitable for all abilities and ages; has restrooms
Hope Park has three distinct areas to play, all enclosed with a wooden fence. This playground is more like a play city, with endless walkways, turrets, bridges and slides, as well as all the usual suspects such as swings, merry-go-rounds and teeter-totters.
Other highlights include the tot lot, which is much bigger than most with age-appropriate things to do, including a train and farm-themed playtown structures. Beyond the playground, explore Frisco Commons Park’s beautiful pond, trail and splash pad, as well as the Frisco Veterans Memorial.
Bicentennial Park
9349 Sunset Drive, Frisco
Suitable for all ages; no restrooms
Bicentennial Park is rather small, as is the playground, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in fun. With ziplines, a giant play structure with towering slides and a unique spinning swing, this is one of the best playgrounds in Frisco.
Monarch View Park
Panther Creek Parkway & Teel Parkway, Frisco
Suitable for all ages; no restrooms
At Monarch View Park you’ll find a fantastic playground. It's also one of the prettiest, set among beautiful gardens. Monarch View Park, Frisco features a native wildflower prairie area designed to aid migrating monarch butterflies as well as native Texan birds.
Harold Bacchus Community Park
13995 Main St, Frisco
Suitable for all ages; has restrooms
Harold Bacchus Community Park tends to be a hotspot for baseball tournaments, but it’s also home to multiple playgrounds with unique equipment. And it’s jam-packed with amenities. Some of those include benches, a bike trail, concession facilities, picnic tables, a pond, a soccer field, walking trails and training tunnels.
B.F. Phillips Community Park
3335 Timber Ridge Drive, Frisco
Suitable for all ages; has restrooms
B.F. Phillips Community Park has just about everything you and the kiddos need for a day full of fun. The park itself is enormous and has two playgrounds to match that energy. And it’s the perfect place to bring your dog, too, as it includes a dog park. The park’s other amenities include a bike trail, concession facilities, a disc golf course, a football field, picnic tables, practice and game fields, a seating arbor, a soccer field and a walking trail.
