Spc. Ernest W. Dallas Jr. Veterans Memorial Park

A Place of Play & Remembrance

Located in Denton, this neighborhood park pulls off something pretty special - it's both a place where locals come to unwind and play, and a meaningful tribute to our veterans, especially Specialist Ernest W. Dallas Jr., the park's namesake.

The space strikes that perfect balance between fun and reflection. While kids laugh and play, there's also room for quiet moments of remembrance. Around the park, you can find thoughtful informational plates honoring military heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Fun for Everyone

If you're looking for a family day out, this park offers plenty of options. There are two separate playgrounds - one that's excellent for the little ones and another designed with bigger kids in mind. What's extra nice (especially during those scorching Texas summers) is that both play areas feature shade structures to keep the sun at bay.

Beyond the playgrounds, there's plenty of open green space where you can toss a frisbee, spread out a picnic blanket, or just lie back and watch the clouds drift by. Benches and picnic tables are scattered throughout, offering perfect spots to catch your breath or enjoy an outdoor lunch. Many families from the area gather here to enjoy the pleasant atmosphere.

Get Moving

Need to stretch your legs? The park features wide sidewalks that are ideal for a quick morning jog or an evening stroll. These paths connect to a larger trail system extending for miles in both directions, allowing you to extend a short walk into a longer journey if desired.

Set in a peaceful neighborhood, the park combines exercise opportunities with thoughtful memorial elements honoring our veterans.
