As the weather gets warmer and kids are waking up from their winter hibernation, parents across the Frisco area are ready to get up and get out of the house. As Frisconians, we are very lucky to have quite the assortment of parks and trails to stretch our legs and let our children run wild like the pent-up animals they are … or is that just my children? I kid, somewhat.
Here are just a handful of playgrounds, parks and trails that are great for families, kids, babies and toddlers. Please remember to follow COVID-related guidelines in place while enjoying the many parks that Frisco has to offer.
Hope Park at Frisco Commons

Don’t forget to bring the swimsuits and towels as you are likely to find yourself wadding in the quarry.

Hike and Bike Trails
There are so many trails in Frisco! Load up the baby in the jogging stroller or grab the whole family and bring the bikes … either way, enjoy the great city of Frisco through its many trails. Here are some of my personal favorites (these are just a few of the many trails Frisco has to offer. To view more, visit friscotexas.gov):
Caddo Trail is one of my favorites! Located along Stewart Creek, south of Stonebrook Parkway, it extends through the Chapel Creek development and connects to J.C. Grant Park adjacent to Spears Elementary School.
Beavers Bend Trail, located in Beavers Bend Neighborhood Park, extends from Beavers Bend Park to 4th Army Drive. Just over a mile long, this trail is a great way to get the kids on the trail!
Located along West Rowlett Creek, Taychas Trail is a series of trails that run north from Lime Stone Quarry Park past Rolater Road, to Independence Parkway into Harold Bacchus Community Park, then north to Main Street.
