Clifford E. "Bill" Hall Park

A Peaceful Neighborhood Retreat

Tucked away on Crater Lake Court, this 6.1-acre green space offers a breath of fresh air in the midst of Carrollton's residential landscape. It's not the biggest park you'll find, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in charm and accessibility.

The paved pathways form a lovely loop around the park, ideal for your morning jog, an evening stroll, or just getting those steps in. As you wander along these well-maintained trails, you'll notice touches of natural beauty - trees providing generous shade and seasonal flowers adding splashes of color when in bloom. Keep an eye out for the informational storyboards along the way, though some might be showing their age a bit.

Family Fun Zone

If you've got little ones in tow, the playground area is bound to be your first stop. The play structures are modern and inviting, and instead of those wood chips that inevitably find their way into shoes and socks, you can find quality artificial turf underfoot - a thoughtful touch that makes this spot especially toddler-friendly.

The playground tends to be a hit with families from nearby neighborhoods, creating a nice sense of community. Just plan ahead, as there aren't any restroom facilities available on-site.

Room to Breathe

Sometimes you just need a patch of grass and a blue sky above. The park's open green spaces deliver exactly that - room to toss a frisbee, set up a picnic, or simply lie back and cloud-watch. You'll find picnic tables and benches scattered throughout when you're ready to sit and stay awhile.

At the heart of the park stands a central gazebo with sturdy seating, offering shelter from sun or light rain. It's an ideal spot for gathering with friends, enjoying a packed lunch, or losing yourself in a good book. For the grill masters among us, there's even a grill available for cooking up some outdoor favorites.

Four-Legged Friends Welcome

Dog owners will appreciate the thoughtful touch of dog waste bag dispensers near the parking lot - a small but significant amenity that helps keep the grounds clean for everyone. The loop trail makes for a wonderful dog-walking circuit, neither too long nor too short.

Your furry companions will especially thank you for the abundant shade trees during those hot Texas summers, making midday walks much more bearable.

Local Pride

What stands out about Clifford E. "Bill" Hall Park is its general cleanliness and upkeep - reflecting the care from both park services and local residents who use this shared space.

You'll find a small free parking lot that serves the park well, rarely filling up except on the most beautiful days. If you're seeking a quick nature fix, a playground for restless kids, or just a pleasant spot to unwind, this versatile little park offers all that without any fuss or pretension.
