Confirmed from Cannon Parkway Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Venue with a playground & skate park, plus facilities for soccer, tennis, basketball & volleyball.

This park is excellent! So fun and accessible! Best yet free and often empty! My kids love ❤️ it so much! There are swings and a cool nature walk.
Reviewing mostly for the splash pad, which is awesome! Looking back at previous reviews it’s clear that this park has been recently updated. We came specifically for the splash pad and it did not disappoint! My kids had a blast and my husband and I didn’t have to roast in the TX sun while they played.
Immaculate park. Very clean. Good park for 2-5 year olds with two toddler swings and two standard swings. Nice short walking loop by the tennis courts and plenty of parking.

“Limited parking spots The splash pad is super fun , both picnic area and splash pad area is covered so you don’t have to worry about the sun.”
“Other than that, I've enjoyed spending time at this park which also offers restrooms with water fountains and a large walking trail!”
