Doubletree Ranch Park TX

On the south shore of Lewisville Lake, Doubletree Ranch Park (310 Highland Village Rd) feels more like a resort than a municipal park. Opened in 2017 on the grounds of a former corporate retreat, the 27‑acre space combines a lake‑view grand lawn, a zero‑depth splash pad, and a mile of smooth trail that loops beneath towering pecans and live oaks. Families roll in with wagons of pool noodles, cyclists hop on the nearby Inland Trail connection, and kayakers launch beside the floating fishing pier—proof that suburban Dallas has room for nature and play in one waterfront footprint.

Amenities & Activities

Splash, Skate & Stroll

The park’s signature splash pad sends geysers 12 feet into the Texas sky, ringed by shaded benches and a seasonal snack bar that sells tacos and Blue Bell ice cream. A wide promenade circles the grand lawn—perfect for scooters and stroller laps—while the 1‑acre pond draws model‑boat hobbyists on calm mornings. Leashed pups enjoy their own water fountain and waste stations every 200 feet, so nobody is left out of the fun.

Events Under the Lights

Highland Village Parks & Rec keeps the calendar packed: “Our Village Glows” tree‑lighting in November, TXFallenPD Tribute Run every October, and weekly food‑truck Fridays from April through June. A permanent sound system pipes live‑music sets across the amphitheater lawn, and the picnic pavilion seats 150 for birthday parties or corporate picnics—reserve it six months ahead because weekends fill fast.

Lakefront Trails & Nature

An ADA‑friendly boardwalk skirts the wetland edge where great blue herons stalk minnows at dawn. From there, walkers can tack on mileage by connecting to the Highland Village Inland Trail and Pilot Knoll Park’s equestrian loop. Cyclists love the gentle grade and frequent water fountains; birders pack binoculars for migrating warblers in March and September.
