Ferguson Park

Park Overview

Located in East Dallas, Ferguson Park spreads across 9.5 acres of green space that's been bringing neighbors together since 1953. This little community green offers a breath of fresh air for locals and visitors looking to escape the urban hustle.

On any given day, you can find this neighborhood park buzzing with activity - especially when the Texas sun cranks up the heat and families search for outdoor spaces to cool down and unwind.

Features and Amenities

Ferguson Park strikes that perfect balance between wild and tamed - offering both open, grassy areas where you can throw down a blanket and developed spaces for more structured fun.

Packing a picnic? You'll come across picnic tables scattered throughout the park, most nestled under shady spots (thank goodness - that Texas sun is no joke). There are also grills available if you're feeling like a proper cookout with friends or family.

Heads up: there aren't permanent bathrooms here, just portalets for when nature calls. You might want to make a pit stop before heading over if you're planning a longer visit.

Recreation Options

When summer temperatures soar, the park's splash pad becomes the neighborhood hotspot. Kids can run through spraying water without parents worrying about deep water risks - a serious win for anyone with energetic little ones.

Sports enthusiasts will find an outdoor basketball court, tennis court, soccer field, and baseball field.

Got kids with energy to burn? Ferguson Park features two playground areas that will keep them happily occupied. One sits conveniently near the splash pad (genius planning), while another waits further back in the park, giving families options depending on what else they want to do during their visit.

Trails and Accessibility

The walking trails winding through the park offer both a scenic route for casual strollers and a convenient path for those looking to get their steps in. These trails thoughtfully connect the different areas of the park, making it easy to navigate from one activity to the next.

Your four-legged friends are welcome here too - Ferguson Park is dog-friendly, but they'll need to stay leashed. Perfect for making sure the whole family gets some outside time together.

Community Use

Ferguson Park is a neighborhood meeting ground where local families gather. Its location near a school makes it popular with area kids and their parents.

Perhaps best of all, there's no entrance fee, making Ferguson Park an accessible option for everyone. It's a simple but valuable space where families can enjoy quality time together without straining their budgets.
