Frontier Park

Lots of fun for younger kids, could use a better splash zone for the hot weather. Overall great place to entertain for 2 – 3 hours tops.

As a dog owner and frequent babysitter, Frontier Park is a great place to have a wonderful afternoon. For a modest rural town, Frontier Park has great accommodations that are unexpected in the surroundings. I would be lying if I said I hadn’t taken my energetic 70-​lb puppy to one of the baseball fields for a run within the 8-​ft fences and to play catch without worrying that he would escape and run away. Furthermore, the playgrounds for the kids are easy for college kids to trump around as much as any 5-​yr old. Take an afternoon picnic and play around.

My son plays baseball here. It is probably the cleanest city owned baseball park I have ever been to in North Texas. The baseball stadium chairs have seat backs so that is a plus.

Head north on the tollway until it ends, pass by a bunch of corn fields until you feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere, take a right, and you’ll find this little gem of a park.
It’s a bit of a trek from pretty much anywhere, but it’s similar to Hope Park in Frisco, just smaller and without the crazy crowds. One thing it has that Hope Park doesn’t is lots of shade, particularly in the area called the «Tot Lot» for the 2 – 5 y.o. crowd. Another useful but hard to find feature is a set of 4 baby swings adjacent to each other (most places have just 2, making it hard to stay in the same place if you’re with a group of other kids). The Tot Lot has the standard short slides, places to climb up and down stairs, and a little bridge.
Overall this is a fun, shady place to play. There’s a separate playground for bigger kids that looked like lots of fun for that age group. There is a pavilion that looked big enough to accommodate a small birthday party. There are restrooms right next to the Tot Lot. Allegedly there is a splash area, but I didn’t see it.
This place is worth a try when it’s too hot to not have shade.

Adorable, great fun for the toddlers, we stayed for about an hour. They have a splash /​fountain area, toddler playground, big kid play ground and its as cute as can be.

Some friends of mine chose Frontier Park in Prosper to host their kid’s birthday party. The park has two lighted soccer fields, 9 practice fields, three lighted baseball fields, two lighted softball, two sand volleyball courses, and a walking trial with a pond.
The part was at the pavilion which is across from the pond and next to the Windmill Playground and splashground. The splashground is a concrete are with fountains that shoot water from the ground. The Windmill Playground is right next to it and has all the standard things you’d expect from a playground.
Overall, I was impressed with the facility but there were some issues I think they need to address. First, there is no fence between the pond and playground. The pond is probably a few hundred feet away from the playground but you always see that person/​person (s) who are reading/​talking and 30 minutes later don’t know where there kid is.
Next, there are no restrooms by the pavilion and its a considerable walk to the nearest one so I ended up driving. The restroom was a little dirty (paper towels on the floor, etc) so I think it probably needs to be maintained a little more regularly.
Aside from the pavilion there are no trees or other shade structure except for the breezeways where the restrooms are. So be sure to bring plenty of sun screen and water.
The last issue was with scheduling. My friends scheduled the time and I saw their reservation posted however a group that had rented the pavilion for later in the day showed up 3 hours early and took over half the pavilion. A few times we saw kids from that party coming over and taking candy and snooping around. Not really the facility’s fault except they probably should have had someone come out at least once to check on everything. I don’t think I saw one city vehicle there the entire time we were there which was about 3 – 4 hours.
