Hill Top Park

Park Overview

Tucked away in McKinney, Texas, Hill Top Park is a cozy 10.2-acre green space that is a neighborhood retreat. Sitting right next to Walker Elementary School, this little oasis is perfectly positioned for families with school-aged children and anyone in the area looking for a breath of fresh air.

Playground Paradise

The barrier-free, shaded play structure is the heart of this park. What makes it special? It's designed with all kids in mind, ensuring that children of different abilities can play together.

On those scorching Texas summer days, you'll appreciate the large canopy that covers the playground. It's a game-changer, letting the kids burn off energy without you worrying about sunburn. The classic combination of swings and slides keeps children entertained, and you'll notice the playground gets especially lively once the school bell rings.

Trails to Explore

Need to stretch your legs? The park's hike and bike trail is good for a casual stroll, morning jog, or bike ride.

What's neat is that these trails don't just end at the park boundaries - they connect to McKinney's larger trail network, giving you the option to extend your outdoor adventure through more of the city's green spaces.

Room to Play and Relax

The park features generous open greenspace that's ideal for impromptu frisbee games, soccer practice, or just letting the kids run wild. This flexible area accommodates all sorts of activities, making it a versatile spot for both organized sports and casual play.

While you won't find restrooms or water fountains here (plan accordingly!), the park does offer a picnic shelter with tables available on a first-come basis. It's a pleasant spot to enjoy a packed lunch, celebrate a small birthday, or simply sit in the shade with a good book.
