This is a great neighborhood park. Great place for kids in the heart of grown up Uptown. There are tennis courts, a basketball court and a nice play structure. You can frequently find offerings such as Gladiator Bootcamp, Yoga and dog training.

What a great little park to run & have your kid bike along with, people come here to work out and exercise, I don’t know the area but it feels safe. I will definitely come back to run some more while I spend time with my kiddos.

Cole Park is a large sprawling park in Uptown, near the 75 and Haskell. It offers lots of amenities but no grills and few picnic tables. I saw a lot of dogs and thats a good thing because they were happy and that made me happy! No unfriendly dogs or poop to be seen and smelled.Perhaps the best asset of the park is the many tall, graceful trees providing welcome shade and greenery. One particularly big/old one is near the kiddy playground. Must be a good 5 in diameter. Im wondering if its been here since the park opened in 1922.There is a small parking lot on the northeast corner, off of McKinney. Even so I imagine parking gets difficult on weekends and holidays. Theres a DART station a short walk away. This is one of the few neighborhood parks worth traveling to visit.

Great park to walk around. Has around 8 tennis courts and there always seems to be activities going on in the park. Take my dog here a few times per week.

This is such a beautiful park. It is also large enough to bring your dog, have a picnic, etc without being near others (social distancing). I walk there daily and its just such a beautiful place. A great vibe!

Fun time out here with my daughter and grandson. Very nice that it has many trees out here as well to stay out of that heat.

**Apparently theres an established line at the park if youre a first time goer make sure you wait on the right side of the fence**My friend and I came here for our first time playing tennis in a while and having never played on the court. When we arrived the last court had just filled up so we waited against the center wall. After an hour and twenty minutes of waiting we went over to a court that was opening only to have someone walk over before us and tell us we had waited in the wrong spot. Apparently the back fence near the parking lot is the official waiting area for the courts. We argued for a while when two nice ladies who had seen us waiting said they were leaving and we can just take their court.We started playing when a couple came over and told us we didnt wait our turn, we explained we had been waiting and being our first time we didnt know there was an official waiting area. We had arrived when the foursome next to us had begun playing and they verified that we had waited as well. The couple accepted this and went to go back into line when the line that had formed AFTER we arrived told them they should play. After having six other people come over and tell us we didnt use our common sense by waiting in the obvious line (which was not there when we arrived) we were forced off the courts by people yelling at us and refusing to leave the middle of the court until we left.There were no signs stating an official line and it seems to be some rule that is unwritten its an odd coincidence that no one told us that until a separate line from ours had formed and it was our turn to use a court.If it is your first time there youd better automatically know these rules or be yelled off the courts. To say my experience was one star is far higher than it should be. The city needs to place signs on entrances stating where this next up line is or people need to be more curious to each other.

I went here to use the tennis courts. There are 8 well kept courts here that are free to use. There are lights, but I played during the day so I cant say if they work or not. The courts appear to be very popular so you may have to wait on a court.

I enjoy going to this park with my son. I am not crazy about those wood chips though. Partly because I’m allergic to them so when they are first put them down I had to leave. But we still like it.

This is a really nice park. Great for walking, relaxing, or doing anything really. It can be busy, but that is the charm of a park. It has tennis courts and a playground. Good mix of shade and sun, too.

Cole Park is always good. But I think they need a couple more basketball courts, including one for small children, maybe with a fence around it so the ball cant escape and roll into the street. Had a couple of close calls with my grandsons today.

Cool place I go there either before or after work to meditate or, unwind. Cole Park is a nice community park. There you will find a lot of folks walking their dogs others jogging. And others just lounging around with their dogs and kids. Love this place right before the sun rises

Review №29

Despite the Texas mugginess which tends to draw the chiggers and flying pests out to wanna play, walk, or jog with ya it is a good place for light exercise along the meadowy paved walkway. Wouldnt recommend it to be an ideal place for picnicking. Outside of this you can count on a comfortable number of neighborhood residents and frequents to offer a warm and welcoming greeting to your day.

Could use a makeover. Maybe, rid the dirt and grass for sand and water. Cut down the trees and replace them with palms. Add some overhead sun covers to block the direct sunlight. Prohibit people from walking their dogs there.

One of the best parks you can go to. Its centrally located within the uptown area and very easy to walk to. Its a great place to take your dogs, kids, or date to experience Dallas. One of a kind place that serves as the local watering hole.

Good place to go and do athletic activities dont like the idea that some people are starting to use it as a dog park recently theres been dog poop all over the Park pretty sad cant let my kids run around without worrying about them getting poop all over their shoes. But other than that its a pretty good part me and my husband meet there sometimes for lunch wish that they will add on a parking lot to this Park I dont seem pretty fund to parking on the side where theres fast traffic passing by on both sides of the park

Very clean and well lit park. There are a decent amount of tennis courts with a backwall to play against. There is also a decent amount of parking that is free. There is also a small portable restroom here too when I last visited.Tennis wise, if you come after 530 on a weekday, chances are youll have to wait. Weekends, it is a hit or miss when you arrive at the courts.
