McKenna Park

If you’ve got kids at different ages and stages, this one actually works for all of them. The zipline is the big draw — older kids will be on it constantly — but there’s enough on the climbing structure to keep toddlers busy too, and the swings cover everyone in between. Shade trees make the picnic tables usable even in summer, which if you live in Denton you know is not a given. The soccer field and basketball court mean the sporty ones can run off energy while you walk the path, and the open grass field is just good old-fashioned room to roam. Parking is easy, the equipment looks new, and honestly it’s one of the better all-around parks in the area right now.
