Get Out Into Nature At These 4 Beautiful Lewisville Parks

Winter is coming, and the temperature is falling in a lot of places. For some, the cooler temperatures make the idea of going outside more enjoyable. If you are looking for a place to take your family or spend some alone time, get out into nature at these four Lewisville parks.

Many people enjoy College Street Park because it is a convenient place to experience the natural beauty of the area without a long drive. You can visit the park on a whim or plan some time to get out of the city, even if only for an hour or two.  Kids will love this park because of the double loop slide, three sprayground areas to cool off from all that running around, and even a small lazy river. Keep in mind that this park has an admission fee: $3 for the public, $2 for town residents.
