Addison Circle Park

Went here for Shakespeare in the Park and I never knew about this little spot in the heart of Addison. It’s a huge park with giant open green spaces and a very nice performance area where the play was performed. From every direction it was easy to see the stage, but I do think this location is considerably smaller than the one in Dallas — so make sure to buy your tickets ahead of time if you are here for Shakespeare in the Park!
They also have nice bathrooms, and a lot of pretty spaces, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see outdoor weddings/​parties here in the spring/​summer.

I love this park. I come here often, and the simplicity of it continues to bring me back. I love how small it is it makes it feel more like a community. I bring my newborn daughter here with a nice blanket, some toys, and a warm bottle and I just relax on the grass and enjoy the area. They have beautiful fountains, people have yoga, bootcamp, and flag football here. It’s very pet friendly, and it’s overall just so beautiful.

Great, clean park. Clean public restrooms, which has terribly long lines during events. A lot of events get hosted here and it’s very convenient as I have friends that live within walking distance. Parking is terrible when there are events, as it leaves the public with not a lot of options. Options that are a bit of a walk too. Plenty of trash cans throughout the park, so if you have a dog there is no excuse to not pick up after it. Short and sweet review because people really only come here for the events. What is offered at this park during events vary.

We came here for Kaboom town. Love love Kaboom town. 30 minutes of continuous fireworks sync’d to music.
Lots of stuff to keep you occupied while you wait. Live music. Plenty of food vendors. I tried a piña colada that was served in a pineapple! So cool.
Good people watching.
It’s terrible trying to get out. Tons of traffic.

Wow, this is a beautiful park. It has over 372,000 sq ft of outdoor and indoor space, water and electrical hookups, performance venues, public restrooms, covered pavilion, concession kitchen, water garden, fountains, fields, and walking trails. Also, it’s dog friendly!
Parking is free here. You can park on the street or in their parking lot on the corner of Addison Road and Addison Circle.
My husband and I hung out here and walked around the trail. There were so many people exercising, walking their dogs, sitting in the grass, etc. It made me wish that I had my dogs with me!
The park itself is pretty big with nice grassy areas. It was a nice sunny, cool, and windy day and folks were also flying kites. So relaxing…

It’s a nicely groomed area for those that are looking for a quick run or stroll. Plus, it’s surrounded by so many restaurants and shops… you could easily go for a jaunt and then skip on over somewhere for brunch! I would not come out of my way to go here but I do enjoy the area when I’m down here for a festival which there are several of them held throughout the year. It’s definitely a lot of people out and about though so you will always feel safe and lots of areas to park. So bring your doggies and the family and come here for on a nice, sunny afternoon!

Pretty busy park. I usually go a little farther up the street where it’s quieter. There are so many people and dogs walking that I couldn’t really relax. The park is pretty and the fountains are nice. But overall, I like my other spot. It is much more peaceful and I don’t have to worry about my dog walking to close to someone else’s dog.

Great park for running, sports with friends or a picnic. Lots of water fountains through the park and stations for people with pets.
Four legged friends are good to bring along because many other dogs are in the park and the water fountains have a second spout at the bottom for pets to hydrate. Everyone is good about cleaning up messes.
I primarily run at this park and enjoy it very much because the trail runs up and down slight hills. Other runners are courteous to move to the side to let you pass. Runners with pets are a plenty and I love the look on the doggies faces.
Parking on the street at Addison circle and Addison road runs long. You can park ok both sides of the road so there’s usually available parking. I’ve only had issues a few times during «peak» times. Luckily there are parking garages with visitor parking on the same road. On the off chance there isn’t parking there then there’s also street parking a block down and in the area before the dart parking.
Overall it’s a good park but there are many closures when events go on. Usually when events happen in Addison they take place on the park grounds and close off the entire park and many streets around. Must avoid during those times… obviously haha.

It is a pretty chill place. Great place for you to walk your dog and also a good place for you and your girlfriend to for a walk. Also, they always have special event through out the year. My favorite one to go is taste of addison and oktober fest.

as good as a park gets… trails, chairs, water fountain, pet waste bags…
and shops around the circle w/​patio seating which is good…
and several times a year this place turns into festival grounds…
always a good place to take the pups or just hanging out with friends or for photos

Hands down one of my top 3 favorite places in Addison. Great place to go for a run or walk and so peaceful. The park is always in a great shape and always offers a great view when I go for runs here. Even if you enjoy sitting outside to read or whatever your hobby is on a nice day, make the trip out here!

I love this place ! I used to stay exactly in Addison circle for 4 months in winter and never quite cherished it. But yesterday I went there to show my parents the places, I was amazed by its beauty in Summer. There is definitely more greenery now, the huge blue rods compliment the place.

This park is so perfect for ambiance on a date, waterfalls, benches to sit & chat, trees to enjoy the cool breeze at sundown which gives a perfect view; as well, kids love the water spouts that pop up out of the ground, that they can splash through on a hot day without getting completely soaked. The best part is how the trails curve around the entire park to walk and learn (names of various Texas cities are along the walk), to discover the importance of all plaques on the trails.
This park is used for the events held in Addison, which is the perfect size, lots of grass. benches, rolling hills to play sports (frisbee, kick around a ball), have chili cook-​offs, hold starts and finishes to 5K and 10K runs so that afterwards, the music for the event and any awards ceremony, breakfasts, etc, can roll on without disturbing the local residents.
Many ppl bring their pooches to walk, too, which they love as well, with poopy bags provided to clean up after they do their duty.
The park does it all for us!

I’ve been to a few events here, mainly festivals to celebrate different heritages and what not. I do love the layout, kind of park like but a good set up for various vendors with paved walkways. I do wish there was better parking for a larger area… coming off of a recent broken foot I was required to trek through a large grassy, rocky area to get to the gate to enter.

i like this neighborhood. just 5min from the galleria and it has lots of great scenery and local restaurants nearby.

A nice sized park, green grass, with plenty of trash cans and pet waste bags for owners to clean up after their pets. A great place to go for a jog or to walk your dog. A lot of picnic tables are located under a well shaded area full of trees and there are plenty of ground fountains for you to walk through to keep cool.
A very nice, upscale feeling neighborhood with plenty of shops and bars for a nice night out. Located right next to the Water Tower Theater.
Everyone seems to be friendly and social in the park. Truly a great place to go if you’re an animal lover!

Love it here! It’s awesome for taking the pets for a nice walk and the fountains are great in the summer for cooling down! I love coming here and walking around on a cool night! Great scenery and just a very chill place!

Great park if you have a dog or kids, but I would recommend against letting your kid play in the grass where the dogs have done their business (for very obvious reasons). People are generally good about picking up after Fido’s #2, but after a good rain, the odor of urine permeates every inch of this place, it just can’t be sanitary.

How have I lived in mere minutes from this park without realizing how beautiful it is on a sunny day?
I ran several laps around the park and through Addison Circle today, making my four mile run that much shorter. The beauty, the atmosphere! Seriously– I know I sound gushy but revelations!
The crowds of people at the Loop Festival, the kiddos, the dogs, and the beautiful pink tulips made my run that much more special.
The sprawling fields with the winding sidewalks make for great events. The fountains are beautiful and the benches make for good people watching. The water fountains and clean bathrooms give this park that more of an edge. Also, the great events that get hosted here boost my love of the city. I’m a big fan of the shops and love bringing people over to Addison Circle. This park is even more of a reason to brag.
I’m always looking for new places to help me keep my love of running and Addison Circle Park does just that. I wish I could explain the odd epiphany that comes with a finding a new running spot but just trust me. Look for me, I’m the girl with the big smile and her eye on the tulips.
Edit: For those who run seriously, a lap around the outer perimeter of the park. follow the sidewalk in front of Quorum, up the side street that runs by Water Tower Theatre, down Addison Road, and down Festival Way — measure .6 of a mile. Good to know!
