Situated in Garland, Texas, Coomer Park offers 11.8 acres of outdoor escape, with 7.1 acres thoughtfully developed for recreation.

Trails and Natural Features

Feel like stretching your legs? The park's 0.5-mile concrete trail meanders through the grounds, great for your morning jog, an evening walk, or just a leisurely amble to clear your head.

The trail is flanked by towering trees that cast cooling shade and add to the park's natural charm. The nature path is especially peaceful - a little retreat from the urban hustle without having to leave the city.

Recreation Areas

If you've got kiddos with energy to burn, the updated playground area is a win. It's well-maintained and designed with safety in mind, giving children a place to climb, slide, and make new friends.

Beyond the playground, you can find open green spaces that work for everything from tossing a frisbee to spreading out a blanket for some cloud-watching.

Facilities

Interestingly, Coomer Park is home to the Parks and Recreation Administration offices - essentially making it the command center for Garland's park system.

Need to park? No problem. With 46 total spots, you shouldn't have trouble finding a place for your vehicle.

Note that there are no public restrooms available here, so plan accordingly. On the plus side, there are water fountains where both you and your four-legged friends can grab a drink.

Picnic Options

Dotted within the park, you can find several picnic tables where you can enjoy lunch outdoors or gather with a few friends. They're nothing fancy, but they get the job done when you want to enjoy a meal in the fresh air.

Pet-Friendly Features

Good news for dog owners: Coomer Park is dog-friendly. The clean pathways and open areas give your pup room to explore (on leash, of course). Pet waste stations are conveniently placed around the park, making it easy to keep the grounds clean for everyone.

It's particularly popular among locals who just want a quick breath of fresh air or a casual stroll along the trail - proof that sometimes the best parks are the ones right in your own backyard.
