What better way to keep cool in the Dallas sun than a visit to the W. J. Thomas Park, a municipal park in Carrollton. One of two city-run splash parks, the W.J. Thomas Park offers a water feature shaped like a fire hydrant, water cannons, spray rings, and more. Children and their parents will also appreciate the availability of on-site restrooms and shaded areas that provide protection from the sun. Visitors can have a picnic lunch or fire up the grill for a Texas-style barbecue. The park is open seasonally between May 1st and October 15th.
