Cross Timbers Park South

Where You'll Find It

Located in Denton, Texas, Cross Timbers Park South is a charming neighborhood green space that's part of the larger Cross Timbers Park complex, which stretches across approximately 70.2 acres. If you're familiar with the area, it's just a quick 13-minute drive (about 6 miles) from the Denton Square - close enough for a spontaneous visit when you need some fresh air.

Trails and Natural Beauty

When you visit, you'll discover a thoughtful blend of wild and developed spaces. The 1.92-mile trail system is excellent for morning jogs or peaceful evening strolls. About 1.17 miles are paved concrete paths (great if you're pushing a stroller or need accessibility), while 0.75 miles are soft-surface trails that give you that closer-to-nature feel under your feet.

As you explore, you'll come across a tranquil pond that is the park's natural centerpiece. It's a lovely spot to pause and watch for local wildlife or try your luck with some casual fishing.

Things to Do

If you're bringing kids along, they'll love the playground areas which offer modern play equipment under generous shade - a real blessing during those hot Texas summers.

Feeling a bit more active? The park features a basketball court and a sand volleyball court where you can work up a sweat or challenge some friends to a friendly match.

For those more inclined toward relaxation, you can find picnic areas equipped with grills scattered around the park. They're perfect spots to enjoy a laid-back lunch or early dinner surrounded by nature.

Recent Updates

It's worth noting that the park is being kept up-to-date. In late 2022, the South area saw some renovations, with the older playground being removed in mid-August and a new installation beginning shortly after. This ongoing maintenance helps ensure the park remains a quality space for everyone to enjoy.
