Campbell Green Park

Park Overview

Nestled in the heart of Dallas, Campbell Green Park spans a generous 17.5 acres of community space. Since opening its gates in 1974, this green space has become a popular spot for locals and visitors seeking a peaceful escape from city life. The park offers a tranquil atmosphere with plenty to do for everyone, regardless of age or interest.

Sports and Recreation

If you're the active type, you'll find plenty to love here. Baseball and soccer fields stretch across the grounds, while tennis courts await your best serve. The outdoor basketball court lights up automatically at sundown - well-suited for those evening games when the Texas heat finally relents.

The pickleball courts are where the real action happens these days. Four dedicated courts have developed quite the following, complete with an organized waiting system that can handle up to 40 players. Don't worry about skill level - the pickleball community here welcomes players from first-timers to seasoned pros.

Prefer something more low-key? The walking trail meanders through the surrounding community, offering a well-maintained path that's as suitable for your morning jog as it is for an evening stroll. It's safe, clean, and just what you need when trying to hit those step goals.

Water Features and Playground

When summer temperatures soar (as they tend to do in Texas), the splash pad becomes particularly popular. Kids flock to this water play area to cool down while having a blast. It's thoughtfully positioned right next to the playground - convenient for little ones who want to alternate between water play and climbing structures.

Speaking of playgrounds, Campbell Green boasts two separate play areas with various structures and swings that cater to different age groups. They're well-maintained and designed with safety in mind, making them ideal spots for families with children spanning different ages.

Picnic and Relaxation Areas

Scattered across the park, you can find picnic tables perfectly positioned under shady trees or within covered areas - your choice of sun or shade. The grilling stations add another dimension to your park visit, transforming a simple outing into an opportunity for a proper cookout with friends and family.

There's no shortage of places to sit and relax, with benches strategically placed around the park. Parents will appreciate the seating near the splash pad and playgrounds, offering comfortable vantage points to keep an eye on the kids while taking a breather.

Campbell Green Recreation Center

At the heart of the park stands the Campbell Green Recreation Center - a hub of community activity. Inside, you'll discover a gymnasium, fitness center, and various rooms hosting classes and programs during the year.

The center has something for everyone, with dedicated senior programs running Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 2 PM, and after-school care for children. The staff here deserves special mention - they're attentive, friendly, and committed to creating a welcoming environment for all visitors.

Park Amenities

Portable restrooms are available across the grounds, with permanent facilities accessible inside the recreation center during its operating hours. Dog owners, you'll appreciate the thoughtful touch of water fountains designed specifically for your four-legged friends, though do remember that pets need to remain leashed while in the park.

Parking is rarely an issue with two dedicated lots plus street parking options - even on busy soccer game days, you can usually find a spot without too much trouble. The park welcomes visitors daily from 5 AM to 11 PM, with court lights switching off at 10 PM.
