Wayne Frady Park

A Neighborhood Retreat

Tucked along W. College Street in Lewisville, Texas, just east of Interstate 35E, Wayne Frady Park offers a little something for everyone. It's open from 6AM to 11PM Monday through Saturday, and starts a bit later at 8AM on Sundays - giving you options for outdoor time throughout the week.

Cool Off & Play

The splash pad replaced the old pool at what was once the Old Town Aquatic Center. On hot Texas days, kids of all ages enjoy the spray features and water elements. It's a convenient way for families to cool off without the demands of a full pool.

Nearby but separate from the water zone, there's a modest playground that keeps the younger crowd entertained. While not massive in size, it offers enough climbing, sliding, and swinging options to burn off some energy, especially for toddlers and elementary-aged kids.

For the sports enthusiasts, a full-size basketball court awaits your next pickup game. Behind the splash pad stretches an open field that's meant for impromptu soccer matches, tossing a frisbee, or just letting the kids run wild for a while.

Practical Comforts

Wayne Frady has restrooms with changing areas and showers adjacent to the splash pad, which is helpful when managing kids after water play.

Hungry? The park offers plenty of picnic tables scattered throughout, many blessed with shade coverage. These spots are meant for everything from simple family lunches to birthday celebrations. You can comfortably keep an eye on the little ones while taking a sandwich break in the shade.

Natural Touches

A paved walking path loops around the park, offering about 0.4 miles of light exercise potential. Parts of the trail enjoy tree coverage, making for a more pleasant stroll even when the Texas sun is doing its thing.

What helps Wayne Frady feel like an escape is the border of trees surrounding it on three sides. This natural boundary creates a surprisingly peaceful atmosphere despite being in the middle of town.

Something for Everyone

The park is a versatile community space where different interests and age groups can coexist comfortably. Regardless of whether you're looking for active play or just a quiet spot to enjoy some fresh air, you'll come across your niche here.

Well-maintained grounds and adequate parking round out the experience. The overall family-friendly vibe makes Wayne Frady particularly appealing to parents seeking a reliable outdoor option for their kids, but anyone can appreciate its simple, accessible charm.
