Heights Park — Attraction in Richardson

Very clean and well maintained park. A concrete walking trail circles the entire park. There is a Pavillion for parties, reunions, etc, and children's playground.

For the nature lover, there are a variety of birds, squirrels, rabbits, and if you're lucky, you may spot the coyote that shelters in the creek that borders the park. If you prefer fitness in air conditioned comfort, Heights Recreation Center is accessible via the picturesque wooden bridge across the creek where, for a small fee you can access cardio machines, weights, basketball courts, and more. And, you can beat the summer time heat at the Heights Aquatic Center, (seasonal). Heights Park is my favorite park...

I would describe the restrooms as functional and well stocked. Also, there are a lot of picnic tables, park benches, trash cans, and recycle bins, plus a...

Lots of benches. A sand pit so if you got buckets and shovels for the kids, bring em. I didn't know there was a sandbox thing there so we dug with.. my phone case and hands. Sidewalk to stroll throughout, and also has woody dirt trails by the creek that we shortly walked. Tennis courts and a softball game going on. A pretty park to spend...
