Doubletree Ranch Park — Attraction in Highland Village

This is a great park to visit. We went to check out the splash pad and it is beautiful. Ample shade for the gown ups and a huge water environment for the kids to explore. The splash area is not big on action (no slides, no big features), but it is big and lots to interact with. I thought the water was a bit warm, but it was like 102 most of the day, so what are you going to do, and the kid thought it was perfect.

The adjacent playground seemed very new and it is quite nice. Has its own shade structures which is a big plus for usability. There is a nice selection of percussion instruments installed for making some noise. The 8 note steel drum is pretty sweet. There's also a lawn checkerboard under a shade sail, so gather up 32 kids and have a match.

The other amenities looked amazing from a distance, like the pavilion and the Red Barn and the paved trails. We did not explore them, so they'll just get a mention here.

The non lawn landscaping seemed to be largely native plants and designed to prevent runoff from the parking lot and other solid surfaces. A great mix of flowers and shrubs.

A beautiful park that looks very new and fresh and is a lovely place to while away...

The best park we’ve found so far! My kids had a blast today. We played at the splash pad and had a great time, then we went and got their scooters and walked the nicely paved trails they have. We also tried fishing off of the PFC Aaron M. Hudson Memorial bridge, caught a few bass but that was it. Oh! We took some pretty cool photos of the sun set. My favorite is the sunset behind the PFC Aaron M. Hudson Sign. 💙🇺🇸 Along one of the walking trails are two bridges and they are both in memory of Aaron, there’s a place that tells about him along the trail. Not gonna lie, it made me cry, they also have areas where Aaron wrote letters and they are placed randomly on the bridge. I was very satisfied with this park as well as my children and we all...

One of the best splash pads I’ve been to. We’re in town visiting a friend in Denton and this was an easy 7 minute drive. The river features allowed kids to race plastic boats and the enormity of the structure meant that they could play without feeling crowded. We came right when it opened at 10 on a Sunday morning and saw people entering the big building, worried it cost money to use but nope, it’s a free splash pad and a GREAT time. Playground is near the bottom where you can have easy view of the splash pad at all times if some of your kids want to play in separate areas. Plenty of shade for the adults, turf grass and picnic tables to sit on. Can’t speak highly enough...
