Fitzhugh Park

A Historic Nearby Park

Situated in McKinney, Texas, Fitzhugh Park might be small at just 1.2 acres, but it packs a surprising amount of charm into its compact footprint. Nestled within the historic district of McKinney, this little green oasis is a breathing space for the neighborhood, with character that matches its historic surroundings.

If you're looking for a quick outdoor jaunt, the park offers a modest trail measuring about 1/7 of a mile - fantastic for a brief morning stroll with your coffee or a quick lap to stretch your legs after being cooped up inside.

Play and Recreation Options

The basketball court is one of the park's main features, well-maintained and suitable for everything from serious games to casual shoot-arounds. It's become something of a neighborhood gathering spot, especially for families looking to burn off some energy together. Beyond the court, there's a versatile open green space where you can toss a frisbee, have a picnic, or simply sprawl out with a good book.

The revamped playground has recently been updated with vibrant colors and modern equipment. The design accommodates children of all abilities, allowing everyone to join in. The renovation includes features for both younger and older children.

Practical Park Features

Need a shaded spot for a small gathering? The park's pavilion comes with electrical outlets and operates on a first-come basis - no reservations needed. It's just right for impromptu birthday celebrations or family meet-ups.

Note that there aren't any public restrooms available, which is worth keeping in mind if you're planning to spend more than an hour or so with little ones in tow.

Refreshed and Renewed

Recent years have seen Fitzhugh Park undergo meaningful renovations that have significantly upgraded both the playground areas and the overall look and feel of the space.

Despite its modest size, Fitzhugh Park provides various amenities in a setting that reflects McKinney's historic character.
