One Eleven Ranch Park

A Natural Retreat

Nestled among the sprawling fairways of Firewheel Golf Course sits One Eleven Ranch Park, a 28.9-acre natural haven that offers a peaceful escape from the hustle of city life. This quiet retreat might be tucked away in Garland, but it's worth seeking out for its beautiful landscape, complete with a meandering creek and magnificent mature trees that create pools of cool shade.

While 5 acres have been thoughtfully developed with amenities, the rest remains gloriously wild, preserving the native plants and wildlife that call this place home. If you're into bird watching, you're in for a treat - regulars often comment on how surprisingly "birdy" this urban oasis can be.

Park Features

The park got a nice facelift in 2020, with particular attention paid to sprucing up the playground area. Perhaps the most impressive feature is the One Eleven Ranch Pavilion - the largest shelter in the entire Garland park system.

With capacity for up to 200 people, it's no wonder this space is a coveted spot for gatherings (and yes, you can rent it for your own events). Throughout the grounds, you'll discover sturdy metal picnic tables with attached seating - some sheltered under pavilion roofs, others scattered about the park for more spontaneous pit stops.

Things to Do

One Eleven Ranch Park invites you to slow down and enjoy outdoor life. Pack a lunch for the numerous picnic spots, or bring your dinner fixings to use one of the barbecue grills dotted around the park.

If you're looking to get your steps in, the well-maintained walking trails wind through natural areas, offering a tranquil path away from traffic noise and city commotion. There's something remarkably calming about following these paths beneath the canopy of mature trees.

Kid-Friendly Play Area

The playground might not be the biggest in town, but it offers plenty to keep little ones entertained with swings, slides, and other equipment suitable for various ages. Parents will appreciate the springy turf ground covering that helps cushion inevitable tumbles, and the wheelchair accessibility ensures that all children can join in the fun.

The surrounding trees provide welcome shade, making this a comfortable spot for adults to relax while keeping an eye on the kids.

For the Dog Lovers

Four-legged friends are welcome at One Eleven Ranch Park, where expansive grassy areas give them plenty of space to explore (while on leash, of course). The abundant shade from those beautiful mature trees keeps both pups and their humans comfortable, even during Texas heat waves.

The park's thoughtful layout means there's enough distance between the dog-friendly zones and the playground areas, creating a harmonious environment for all visitors to enjoy their own version of outdoor fun.
