    We took a hike here just after the eclipse happened. This place had apparently been a popular venue to watch the eclipse, but the crowds had partly left just before we arrived. There was plenty of parking at that point, and I'd assume that parking isn't an issue generally.

    We consulted a nearby map/sign and saw a good loop route. The trail was also paved, though there are a number of side trails where are not. The main trail is about 40 - 50 % shaded, which is probably even more important in the summer.

    The only issue we had was that, on the far side of the loop, the paved trail diverged. We followed the wrong (right-leading) path for a couple of hundred yards before noticing on a map app that we had strayed. My only advice to the park would be to increase the signage to keep people on the main trail.

    As we returned, we saw more of the core facilities which are near one side of the parking lot - large restrooms, a playground, and some picnic pavilions.

    If you are in this area and just want to escape suburbia for an hour, this is a great option.

    My hotel was located in Plano, and I decided to check out more of this municipality. There was free three (3)-hour parking on the streets, and I browsed throughout the downtown by foot. It was a very pretty and laidback downtown area with many nice lofts, restaurants, and shops. I felt very safe.

    Fun little museum with very knowledgeable and dedicated staff. The displays are nicely done and the interactive children's educational area is fun for all ages. The highlight is going on the railcar.

    It has the best of all worlds. Lakes - check. Streams - check. Wide sidewalks - check. Woods with trails - check. Great park. Only drawback is you will be with many other people, and many of them have dogs that poop on the sidewalk.

    I attended a production in Dec 2021 with a group of friends. BLOWN AWAY. So professional and so emotional. From the contemporary Christmas songs and scenes to the stunning birth of the Savior. Watching the 3 kings and their entourage, to all the live animals and the Heavenly Host flying through the air was nearly two hours of non-stop performance. I've been to Hollywood, Broadway, Radio City Music Hall, and Prestonwood is a great as anything I've witnessed in those performance venues.

    We will go back next year and take as many others as we can to witness the extravaganza!

    I have been involved with a program at this church for several years called Prom Closet. They work the entire year to gather prom dresses, jewelry, shoes and bags for girls that normally could not afford to attend their prom. Every time I am in the church (not a member of the congregation) I see people donating, volunteering, rallying to help others.......they are spot on here and I am warmed by their generosity with time and money.

    A friend to me to lunch at their tea room. What a treat! The service was prompt, the food was definitely upscale, fresh, gourmet and tasty! The Coconut pie was "to die for". After our lunch we perused the aisles of the antique mall and I found just the gift for my daughter-in-love. Seriously recommend this Antique Mall and tea shop!

    So much fun to be had here for little ones. On holiday weekend cousins fro. 2 to 6 from all over the country got together for playtime. Great place to run off lots of energy. You do need to monitor your kids, but no biggie. Best part is you dont need to clean up! Enjoy

    Had a great experience at this library, it was super clean and just renovated. Mrs Miller was super helpful explained everything to me. I had a kiddo with me. The kid programs they have are great! Everyone was super friendly, will definitely be taking the kiddo back

    Nice view. Plenty of lounge chairs on the boardwalk. Lots of restaurants to choose from, but my favorite is Suburban Yacht Club. I he food is delicious. The drinks are good and comes on very creative drinking glasses.’

    My husband and I really like the Texas pool. We love that it is a saline pool as opposed to chlorine. Multiple lifeguards for kids. It is not as large as other public pools so it's rarely crowded. Many places 2 Lounge, cookout, shade. We love that it is a non-profit and that it was saved from Demolition.
