Tietze Park

It’s a nice park. Great location. Sometimes the fields are dried out and have cracks, so be careful when you run. The playground is nice for younger kids not older kids

One block from my house! Convenient and fun! It also has a dog water fountain and it’s home to several exercise groups.

This is a nice established neighborhood park the is convenient for walking, sports, and picnicking. Plus, there’s lots of green space and big trees to enjoy. There’s a nice sized parking area in the northeast corner of the park. The only disadvantage is the street noise from busy Skillman Street.

Great local park in the heart of Lakewood. Lots of green space and ample of activities to choose from. They offer outdoor workouts, basketball and tennis courts, baseball field and even a swimming pool. It’s not the most well-​kept place around, but it’s vibrant and pretty much any day of the week you can find the public using its facilities. I especially like that it is in a convenient location in the middle of Dallas, but still feels pretty safe. I usually head here for tennis, and I don’t usually have too much of a hard time trying to get access to the court. All in all, it’s just a great option to check out if you’re looking for some fresh air and fun for free.

The WPA rock structure that fronts this pool in a green park in a serene and hip Dallas neighborhood had my juices pumping.
I paid my two dollars to the hormone fountain flowing teenage lifeguards and walked in to find no lap lanes.
Back to guard shack:
S: do you guys have lap swim?
LG: my manager is supposed to decide soon wether we’re going to have that.
S: Can I get my money back?
LG: We aren’t supposed to give refunds, but I can give you you’re receipt for a future visit.
S: Keep it.
I was so pissed.
2 miles and five dollars later I was swimming laps at SMU’s outdoor pool.
I could’ve sworn Tietze had lap swim hours last year.
Cool pool for kids but not lap swimmers.
Peace Corp organization. Squeeze under the tarp covered area on the green lawn and relax elbow to elbow with the hip Lakewood moms.

Is there a way to change the address on reviews? Just for GPS sake, the address is off Skillman. But anywho, love this park. It’s a quick walk away from mi casa which is always a plus. I go running here almost every day and it’s a gorgeous run. Beautiful trees surround a major part of the walking/​running trail around the park, makes for a peaceful experience. The playground is big and has never been overcrowded. There is a covered pavilion for picnicking and on more than one occasion there have been cookout parties under them. There is also a public pool there, but I haven’t got to try it yet, but will this summer for sure. Huge open space for a good game of freeze tag… haha. There is also a softball field that has been used as a kickball field as well. Oh, I almost forogt to mention the ‘dead’ tree which is fun for climbing or taking pictures on. Wonderful park!

The address for this place is 2850 Skillman Rd Dallas, TX 75 214. I followed my GPS to 6115 Llano Rd and all I found was a parking lot.

In general, I am not much of a park person. Lots of open ground, not very many seats, too many kids, alcohol frowned upon… eh, not my bag. However, this park is nearest to my house so when the BF and I wanted to get some exercise by throwing the nerf football around we drove down the street to Tietze Park.
They have more stuff there than I initially thought: tennis courts, playground equipment including a couple of sweet looking slides, picnic tables, softball field, basketball court, and a huge pool. Not only that, there is a large expanse of land for your frisbee/​football/​chillin needs. Seats are located randomly throughout the grounds as well. During the week they apparently have a lot of activities (like softball games, bootcamps, etc) and you can always get in on a pickup basketball game if you are badass enough! One thing you cannot do there is ride a 4-​wheeler. This dude had his kid on one of the kiddie size 4-​wheelers and the cops showed up and made them stop driving it around.
Overall convenient location and enough stuff to keep you occupied.

This East Dallas neighborhood Park has it all — adult Kickball games on Tuesday nights, fencing practice on Tuesday nights, a softball field, a basketball court, and a swimming pool.
If you are broke and bored, just ride your bike on up to the park and watch whatever game they’ve got going on at the moment. There’s nothing like free entertainment.
