Frisco has over 50 parks ranging from small neighborhood parks to large community parks, parks with fishing, disc golf, the largest skatepark in North Texas, and everything in between. With weather warming up, it's the perfect time to get outside and explore all of Frisco's system of trails and natural areas.


North Frisco - Warren Sports Complex
7599 Eldorado Parkway, Frisco, TX 75034

This multipurpose space encompasses more than 100 acres and is home to 2,500+ recreational games and youth sporting events year-round. Come for a day of play on the basketball, tennis, or sand volleyball courts, or on the park’s flat fields for soccer, football, or lacrosse. There’s also a fishing pier and the Freedom Meadow that’s dedicated to those who lost their lives in 9/11, featuring 5 acres of native wildflowers.

East Frisco - Limestone Quarry Park
1230 Maltby Dr., Frisco, TX 75035

Limestone Quarry Park is the perfect place for a nature walk along the Taychas Trail. During your walk, take in the wildflowers and native grasses, mosaic artwork, and plenty of green space. And if you’re feeling adventurous, spot the park's hidden waterfall that can be accessed by using the dirt footpath located behind the playground.
