Heritage Park — Attraction in Flower Mound

This is a great place for a reprieve from the Texas heat! I’ve come here twice recently with my two year old and she loves the splash pad, not to mention she’s made friends both times (but with as much social distancing as you can demand from a toddler). The surrounding park area is huge with lots of eco-diversity (of the local sort) to see and play in and around. There is plenty of wooded area, as well as large rolling fields, play equipment, etc. The park seems well maintained and even has some life-sized animal sculptures sprinkled about with plaques that give a brief summary of each animal’s role in the local environment.

A final note for anyone concerned about Covid-19: Most people at the splash pad and surrounding park area were not wearing masks and socially distancing was somewhat lacking (as you can probably imagine with a bunch of kids running around). That said, there is a ton of room due to the size of the park itself, so one can work around the distance issue. The splash pad area.., not so much. This might be something to be aware of if you are in a high-risk group.

Overall, this park is quickly becoming a favorite for us and I highly recommend a...

Heritage Park is an expansive park with a multitude of activities for the family.

Fort Wildflower and and the Tot Lot are playgrounds to tire the kids out at. It has swings, tons of slides, musical instruments, a rock climbing wall, rock climbing poles, as well as many other things to keep your kids interested.

There is a splash pad called Heritage Springs that is great for all ages of kids. The plus is that it is covered and has plenty of chairs even when it is packed.

There are two areas to rent in the pavillion.

The family can walk along Bluebonnet Trail and the Wildlife Encounter Nature Trail that both wind into a forested area.

The Heritage Park Disc Golf Course is huge and covers areas on both sides of South Garden Ridge Blvd.

There is a small pond with a dock.

There is a Ga Ga Ball Pit for anyone wanting to play an exotic form of dodgeball.

Lastly, there are two public restrooms. One has a water fountain on the back of it and the other is handicapped accessible.

All in all, the family had a blast and will surely be coming...

Re: disc golf course. The course is expertly designed, but definitely not for beginners/small kids. The layout looks like a bulldozer went down the middle of a forest, but forgot to cut down a few trees in the middle of the fairway. Accuracy is a must. There are only one or two holes where you can go all out on your tee shot. The holes aren't long, but tight and almost always has a short turn near the basket. Many elevation changes (walking up and down valleys/creeksides and across creeks) and this course is as much of a hike as it is a relaxing round of disc golf. Many creeks/drop-offs to avoid and quite often, "if you can find it, it's a good shot" comes into play. Plenty of signage and the course is easy to navigate from hole to hole. Wear shoes that can get dirty/muddy and this course will be very muddy after rain. Long pants will help as you retrieve discs from the underbrush. Unless you are an above-average player, leave your scorecard at home and just enjoy...
