Harrington Park

Park Features

Located in Plano, Texas, Harrington Park spreads across 15.5 acres of community green space, blending recreational facilities with natural areas that make for a refreshing escape from city life.

The park features a 1.45-mile hard surface trail that meanders through the grounds. Whether you're looking for a morning jog, a leisurely afternoon walk, or a bike ride, this path provides nice views of the park's natural scenery.

Recreation Areas

For families, the park includes a playground designed for children ages 2-12. What makes this play area particularly nice is the generous shade coverage - a true blessing during those hot Texas summer days when the sun is unforgiving.

Need a spot for lunch or a small gathering? The park's pavilion with picnic tables provides a shaded retreat where you can refuel or simply sit back and enjoy the surroundings. It's an excellent place to unpack a sandwich and take a breather.

Sports Facilities

Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the open practice fields that operate on a first-come, first-served basis. No need for reservations - just show up ready to play! There's also a practice backstop that's great for getting in some baseball or softball drills when the mood strikes.

Natural Environment

The park teems with wildlife, especially squirrels and birds that dart and flutter about, adding life and movement to the landscape. The grounds are kept in good shape, with well-maintained grassy areas that contribute to the park's clean, welcoming feel.

Community Value

Harrington Park offers a variety of amenities - places to exercise, spaces to relax, and areas for community activities. Its location next to the Sam Johnson Recreation Center and near the end of the Chisholm bicycle trail makes it easily accessible for anyone exploring Plano's broader trail network. The park functions as both a destination and a connecting point within Plano's outdoor spaces.
