Evers Park

A Piece of Denton History

Spread across 29.41 acres in Denton, Texas, Evers Park carries the legacy of the Evers family, who played a significant role in shaping the early days of Denton.

The park sits right next to Evers Park Elementary School, creating a natural flow between learning and play spaces. With the public library just across the way, this little corner of Denton has become something of a community trifecta for education, recreation, and relaxation.

Batter Up!

Baseball enthusiasts will feel right at home here. The park has multiple youth baseball fields that come alive during local games and tournaments. The fields include dugouts, benches, and scorer tables for a complete baseball setup.

In total, there are six baseball diamonds that regularly host youth baseball and T-ball games. If you're there to cheer on the little sluggers, you'll appreciate the bleacher seating and the generous shade trees that keep things comfortable even during those warm Texas afternoons.

Kid-Approved Fun

Little ones have plenty of options at Evers Park with three different playground areas designed with various age groups in mind. The main playground features slides that younger children love, with safety-conscious wood chip ground covering to cushion any tumbles.

When hunger strikes, the park offers numerous picnic areas complete with tables and built-in charcoal grills. You can reserve these spots through the City of Denton, or just show up and claim an unreserved table on a first-come basis.

Thoughtful Design

Evers Park gets points for its user-friendly layout. Every two baseball fields have nearby restroom facilities and a concession stand, meaning you won't have to trek across the entire park when nature calls or snack cravings hit. This thoughtful design is especially helpful for visitors with mobility challenges.

There's plenty of parking available, particularly handy during game days when attendance spikes. The restroom facilities across the park are kept clean and well-maintained - always a plus for public spaces.

Community Connections

One interesting quirk of Evers Park is its Boy Scout hut, a nod to the park's deep ties with community organizations.

Dog owners can bring their leashed four-legged friends along for the visit. While you won't find extensive hiking trails here, there are enough sidewalks to get in some steps with your pup.

In recent years, the park has also become a hotspot for Pokémon Go players, adding yet another layer to its community appeal.

With its mix of active sports areas and peaceful outdoor spaces, Evers Park brings Denton residents together - whether they're swinging bats, pushing swings, or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon under Texas skies.
