(NMCG) McKinney Cricket Ground 1 & 2

If you’re in McKinney and want a sports park that actually feels taken care of, this one delivers. The cricket grounds are the main draw — two of them — but there’s also a soccer field and open grass if your crew isn’t there for cricket. Shade trees and covered seating make afternoon visits bearable in the Texas heat, and the restrooms are consistently clean, which honestly isn’t something you can say about every park in the area. The lighting holds up well into the evening, so it doesn’t shut down when the sun does. A walking path wraps around the space, making it easy to squeeze in a loop while the kids or teammates do their thing.
