Addison Circle Park — Attraction in Addison

We come here to play pogo, but I've not been super impressed by the park itself. It's one of the smallest parks I've been to, the bathrooms have not been cleaned, nor the soap refilled, for months. Last time I went there was no TP and there's no telling how long it had been out. I don't even need to bring TP and sanitizer to my favorite nature preserve, so this tiny urban park is failing. The park has had sections of it closed off for over half of the time we've been there, those sections look crummy, dangerous, and it impedes our path. There are several bars around there from which you can hear yelling and fighting at least once a night. The area is lousy with cigarette smoke, and the streets are grimy, which is awful for my allergies. And the water fountain area always smells of too much chlorine, and attracts a lot of mosquitoes in the warm seasons. They have a lot of pokestops, but, not much else. What they do with the money they garner from paid events, such as Octoberfest, is beyond me. Hire a janitorial engineer, for the...

Taste of Addison overall was a good experience. I ended it on a very upsetting note when, on our way out, we discovered a petting zoo. We asked if at some point people had been able to go inside the cages and pet the animals. That is when Becky nastily informed me, "Ma'am, the petting zoo has been closed! It closed at 6!" I felt like I was some annoying child asking for the 6th time that same question. When I told Becky I didn't appreciate her tone we both got quite ugly from there & I was ashamed of how we both acted afterwards. Becky said her truck was stolen that same day but I told her that was no excuse for her nasty she was but my comment fell on deaf ears. I'm reaching out to the company because we were bot the only people that felt she had not set a good example for the employees under her or for the crowd. I will say the lady with short grayish hair that sat beside her seemed...

Wonderful green space and plaza in the heart of Addison. Special events and holidays are excellent here, plus easy access by DART bus and plenty of hotels nearby. Walking distance to bars, shopping and restaurants.

Gets very packed and busy during events, so be prepared and plan ahead to get a parking spot or handle traffic. Usually a large event held every couple months, and people from all over the city flock here for them.

Safe and secure, no beggars or shady people wandering around. Restrooms are clean and open, Addison PD regularly patrols and keeps an eye out for the place so its always peaceful and quiet.

Kids love the fountains when they are turned on in the summer, and dogs love the open space. Jogging trail perfect for walkers and exercise, plenty of park benches to rest on and everything is maintained extremely well. Highly...
