Cottonwood Park

Cottonwood Park is a 5.3-acre neighborhood park located in Richardson, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. Established in 1973, the park offers a variety of recreational opportunities for visitors of all ages. The park features well-maintained walking trails, playgrounds, and picnic areas, making it an ideal spot for family outings, leisurely walks, or a day of fun with friends.

One of the park's notable features is the Ann Eisemann Inclusive Playground, an 11,000-square-foot amenity designed to accommodate children of all abilities. This playground, spearheaded by the city of Richardson and the Richardson East Rotary Club, expanded the park's accessibility and inclusivity.

Cottonwood Park is known for its natural beauty, with expansive lawns and shade trees providing a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The park also includes a lake with ducks and a rock dam that visitors can cross.

The park hosts special events throughout the year, including the popular Cottonwood Art Festival, which attracts visitors from all over the area. This makes Cottonwood Park not just a recreational space, but also a cultural hub for the community.
