Rolling Hills Park

Play & Recreation

Tucked away off U.S. Highway 75, this cozy 3-acre neighborhood park packs a surprising punch of fun into its modest footprint.

Kids' eyes light up when they spot the modern playground area with its thoughtfully designed zones. The little ones have their own toddler section, while bigger kids can conquer the larger structure with its numerous climbing challenges. Parents appreciate the enclosed design that makes keeping track of energetic explorers a bit less stressful.

The zipline is hands-down the star attraction here - watch as children (and yes, plenty of grown-ups too) zoom across with gleeful shrieks. The four-person teeter-totter brings back some old-school playground magic, while the disc swing offers a fresh spin on swinging. A particularly nice touch are the musical instruments scattered throughout, adding a symphony of sounds to afternoon play sessions.

Getting Active

Looking to shoot some hoops? The full-size basketball court is well-suited for everything from casual shootarounds to spirited pickup games.

The hike-and-bike trail loops around the open grassy field, giving you options for a quick jog, leisurely stroll, or bike ride without having to leave the park's boundaries.

Natural Beauty

What makes Rolling Hills stand out from your average neighborhood park is its charming pollinator garden. Beyond just looking pretty, this thoughtful addition plays an important role in supporting local ecosystems by creating a haven for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.

It's a subtle reminder of how even small green spaces in urban settings can contribute to environmental health - and might just spark some nature conversations with curious kids.

Amenities

The covered pavilion offers a welcome retreat from the Texas sun, with four picnic tables making it just right for birthday celebrations, family picnics, or simply a shaded spot to watch the kids play.

Staying hydrated is easy with the park's inclusive water fountains that accommodate everyone - standard height for adults, lower options for children, a ground-level bowl for four-legged friends, and even a station for filling water bottles.

Note that there are no restroom facilities here, so you might want to plan accordingly, especially with younger children in tow. Parking is also limited to about eight spaces, which can fill up quickly during popular times.

While you might catch some background highway hum from nearby U.S. 75, the clean, vibrant, and well-maintained equipment more than makes up for it, making Rolling Hills a popular outdoor escape for Allen families.
