Samuell-Grand Park — Attraction in Dallas

A good place to go swimming with your family at a reasonable price if you are a Dallas city resident. If you do not live in the City of Dallas, then you will pay another price to get in. I do not know what is that price for non-City of Dallas residents. You will need your I.D to get in the swimming pool, so please DO NOT FORGET IT. Spacious area, very nice lazy river with a smaller pool in the middle of the lazy river. The infant or children pool is spacious for the little ones to enjoy. They also have two slides, small pool obstacle course, and a large swimming pool ranging from 3 ft to 12 ft. As for people who like to rock climb on the deeper end or drive in on a diving board this is the place for you. PLEASE NOTE FOR YOUR CHILDREN SAFETY, THEY WILL HAVE TO TAKE A SWIM TEST IN ORDER TO GO ON THE DEEPER END OF THE POOL! The staff are nice and friendly. You can also bring in a cooler with your food and drinks... NO ALCOHOL is allowed! They also have a concession stand if you want to eat their food. This location have plenty of parking and spaces for you to sit if you just wanted to chill out in or out the sun. They also have lockers, although they are very small. I am definitely going back again...

I've lived in Dallas all my life and basically grown up visiting this park almost everyday. In a nutshell I am so disappointed with the lack of resources and utter socioeconomic discrepancy this park highlights.

The swings are rusted, graffiti all around the sitting areas, and trash everywhere you can see. On the other hand, the newly revamped golf course (where the higher economic class has exclusive rights) is pristine. Members who live no where in the community flock to it's roaring hillsides to whisk around in their golf carts, boasting their Mercedes and Land Rovers. This park has so much potential, but has as always catered to the...

I went to watch the rendition of Hamlet that they had a week ago. The cashier was kind of rude, the one who scans the QR codes. She was rushing me to show her the tickets. I felt she didnt want to be there like she was volunteering. Maybe she was. I didnt that the theater did not have many seats. You basically have to bring your own chairs. Made it a bit awkward. The play and the acting was superb no problem there. The issue is the location. As the play was unfolding, you could hear cars parks close by playing mariachi tejano music. That's the bad thing about having an outdoor event in this location: it's a distracting location for plays. It was about 43 dollars, for the attitude , distracting music, and lack of chairs and accommodations. Big fat...
