Stoney Hollow Park

Natural Oasis

Positioned in Plano, Stoney Hollow Park spans a generous 96 acres, offering a little breathing room from city life without having to venture too far from home.

The park's peaceful pond isn't just pretty to look at - it's a little ecosystem all its own, hosting local wildlife and creating that calming water-side vibe we all need sometimes. If you're into fishing, you're in luck - the pond has quite the reputation among local anglers who regularly cast their lines here.

Get Moving

Feeling like stretching your legs? The park features a 0.6-mile loop trail that circles the pond - nothing too challenging, but just enough to get your heart rate up. Regardless of whether you're walking your dog, going for a morning jog, or taking a leisurely evening stroll, the trail offers a pleasant escape from concrete and traffic.

If team sports are more your thing, you'll appreciate the open sports practice fields available on a first-come basis. Grab some friends for an impromptu soccer match or bring your frisbee - there's plenty of space to play.

Kid-Friendly Features

Got little ones with energy to burn? The multiple playground areas are designed specifically for children ages 2-12, giving them a safe space to climb, slide, and make new friends. The swings seem to be a particular hit with the younger crowd - just be prepared for the inevitable "five more minutes" negotiations.

Note that while trees are scattered within the park, shade can be a bit sparse during those scorching Texas summer days, so pack your sunscreen. For family gatherings or friend meetups, take advantage of the picnic areas and grilling stations. The park's shelters also provide welcome cover when the weather turns.

Peaceful Vibes

What really sets Stoney Hollow apart is its calm atmosphere. Unlike some of Plano's busier parks, this spot tends to maintain its tranquility even on weekends. The pond area delivers some beautiful sunset views - meant for those reflective evening visits or casual photography.

With its spacious layout, Stoney Hollow rarely feels overcrowded, making it an ideal choice when you need some outdoor time without battling for space, even during holidays when other parks are packed to capacity.
