One of the Dallas Park & Recreation facilities, the seven-acre community Cole Park has basketball and tennis courts as well as a playground for young children. Pets are welcome to join their owners as they walk or jog along the trails and can re-hydrate with a drink from the multi-level fountain. Other opportunities to exercise include sessions with Camp Gladiator and Foam Rolling & Stretch Therapy by Mark or informal games of catch, tag, or flag football. After working up an appetite, visitors can sit at shaded tables to enjoy a picnic lunch from home or takeout from a nearby restaurant.
