Glencoe Park

The park is a nice size and every seat has a good view of the playing field.

This is a great park for all ages. I jog here (it’s about a ½ mile per lap) and then let my 19 month old play at the playground or in the fields while I cool down from my run. It’s frequently busy with other kids and adults. The playground provides shade and many trees that line the path to help keep you cool as you walk. Overall, a great place to play, have fun with the kids, or take your dog for a walk.

Great park, lots of room to roam. If you have little kids, the playground here is awesome. I love bringing my dog out to GP for some fetch. Nice park, good neighborhood, friendly people.
Features: playground, football fields, baseball fields, basketball court, tennis court, horseshoe pit, field goal posts.

Love the park. Walk my dogs daily here and see many familiar faces. The city just added a new playground and has made some improvements to the tennis courts and baseball/​kickball fields.

If you like a big park, with lots a space and lots of activities going on then this is your park. M

Tennis court has lights but they turn off promptly at 9:30 and it turns pitch black

There is so much to do at this park! A playground for the kids. Basketball, and 2 tennis courts. A small football practice field, and a baseball field. Also a wide area for kicking the soccer ball around. There also is a walking trail around the park, and picnic areas. There are lights to be out there after dark, too. This seems to be in a great neighborhood and appeared very safe.

O Glencoe Park, I cannot sing your praises enough. A few months ago, I moved pretty much next door to this spot, and I go there to jog (or mosey, if it’s a Sunday morning…). It’s so pleasant. Nothing’s pleasanter. It’s the pleasantest!
Unless it’s dark, I always see little kids and their parents out there at the play ground, and during the summer, yep, they were out until 8 and 9 in the evening. People bring their dogs out all hours of the day and night; if I had nothing but time on my hands, I would sit and watch the dogs and squirrels all day long, and there are plenty of benches and picnic tables along the edges of the park.
The park also has two baseball diamonds, tennis and basketball courts, and a massive stretch of grass for any field sport you can think of. And once again, if there’s light out, you can count on seeing people playing something. I’ve seen Frisbee golfers and groups of friends tossing a giant red ball around, youth and high school tag football teams, soccer in all its forms, from a little kid kicking a ball around to full on matches, company softball teams– you name it. Even the Dallas Harlequins, the city’s professional rugby team (read: eye candy for those with a penchant for strapping young men), practice and hold matches here. And of course, runners, joggers, and walkers populate the trail that encircles the park.
The big trees on the park’s perimeter are quite beautiful and provide shade to the trail through the summer and amazing foliage in the fall. At the end of the weekends, trashcans are typically over-​flowing, and there’s more litter than I care to see (insert crying Indian here). And it’s literally right next to Central Expressway, so billboards and urbania hover over its west wall, but otherwise, it’s a lovely place. So come to Glencoe Park! Right now!
