A neighborhood park with a small lake on the edge of downtown Richardson: a big playground plus a toddler playground, a flat loop around the water for watching ducks and turtles, and a kids' craft area at the Cottonwood Art Festival in May and October.

💡 Tips
Weekend mornings are uncrowded; if you feed the ducks, bring oats rather than bread. The Richardson library is 5 minutes away for a rainy-day switch.
