Avondale Park

Perfect Local Escape

Located in Denton, Texas, Avondale Park sits just an 8-minute drive (about 3.3 miles) from the Denton Square. This 17.85-acre local park has a 0.37-mile concrete trail that winds through the area, with multiple access points along the way.

Getting here is straightforward with a small parking lot and two street access points. While the parking area isn't huge, it's just enough to make this spot accessible for anyone in the area looking for a quick nature break.

Natural Charm

A notable feature is the bridge that stretches over a creek on the north side. This waterway adds a touch of serenity to your visit, but you might spot the occasional basketball that's made a break for freedom from the nearby court!

The generous green spaces throughout create a peaceful backdrop for whatever brings you outdoors - whether it's a serious workout or just finding a quiet spot to read.

Stay Active

The trail here is excellent for a brisk morning walk, a casual afternoon stroll, or keeping up with your jogging routine. You'll often see neighbors walking their dogs or getting in their daily steps.

If you're bringing the family, the playground equipment offers plenty to keep little ones entertained. Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the basketball courts and tennis court when they're in the mood for something more active.

Gather & Celebrate

The park's covered pavilion with picnic tables makes this a go-to spot for all kinds of gatherings - from casual family picnics to birthday parties and even intimate weddings. There's also a grilling area if you're craving some freshly cooked outdoor fare.

The grounds are typically well-kept and clean, with drinking water available when you need to hydrate. Keep an eye out for the newly constructed covered picnic area that adds another great option for outdoor get-togethers.

Good to Know

Note that there aren't any public restrooms in the park, so plan accordingly. The silver lining? The park rarely gets overcrowded, making it an ideal spot when you need a moment of peace or meditation.

Avondale Park maintains a safe and clean environment throughout the year. If you're bringing your four-legged friend, just be mindful that some grassy areas contain thorns that might be uncomfortable for sensitive paws. For a longer outing, the surrounding neighborhood offers pleasant streets that create a nice extension to your park visit.
