Beavers Bend Park

Park Overview

Nestled at the intersection of Legacy Road and Lebanon Road in Frisco, Texas, Beavers Bend Park spans a peaceful 26 acres of neighborhood green space. This charming park came to life in two stages, with the first phase completed in 2006 and the second following in 2010.

The park provides a serene escape from city life, with winding concrete paths that feature gentle elevation changes - good for walking, jogging, or cycling without tackling anything too strenuous.

Trail System

Lacing within the park are several paved walking trails, including a 1.2-mile trail that stretches from the park all the way to 4th Army Drive. This path is just one segment of the broader Beavers Bend Trail system that will eventually link up with the B.F. Phillips Sports Complex.

The trails cater to everyone - there's a nicely shaded paved path that works well for little ones, plus more challenging routes when you're feeling adventurous. The paths are clean and well-maintained, with city workers regularly tending to the entire area.

Natural Features

The pond at Beavers Bend Park is a highlight - it adds a peaceful element to the landscape. If you pause for a moment, you'll likely spot turtles (including some impressive snapping turtles!) paddling around the pond and stream. It's a little slice of wildlife watching right in the middle of Frisco.

The park is also home to an active beaver colony in the wetland area. Beyond being fascinating to observe, these industrious creatures actually help prevent erosion downstream - nature's engineers at work!

Playground Areas

For families, the thoughtfully designed playground offers separate zones for different age groups. School-aged kids will love the main play structure with its kid-sized rock wall, fun slides, and climbing stairs.

Younger children (ages 2-5) have their own dedicated play space. You'll appreciate how the playground sits at a safe distance from traffic while remaining visible from both the parking lot and pavilion - making it easier to keep an eye on your little ones.

Amenities

Throughout Beavers Bend Park, you can find numerous picnic areas great for lunch breaks or family gatherings. Many spots come equipped with BBQ grills when you're in the mood for outdoor cooking.

There's also a pavilion offering covered benches and picnic tables where you can escape the Texas sun. The park includes a handy bicycle station and a charming gazebo among its amenities.

Dog owners will feel welcome here as the park is dog-friendly with pet waste bins and trash receptacles placed throughout. Just remember that you need to keep your furry friends leashed at all times.

Additional Information

The park features a modest parking lot that generally provides enough spaces for the typical number of visitors. Note that there are no public restroom facilities available in the park or immediate vicinity, so plan accordingly before your visit.
