Kiest Park

Kiest Park is a large, well-maintained urban park offering plenty of green space, sports facilities, and walking trails. It’s popular among locals for jogging, picnics, and community events. The park has playgrounds for kids and peaceful areas for relaxation. A great spot for families and fitness enthusiasts looking for a friendly and accessible outdoor environment.

I truly love this place. It’s perfect for playing with my kids, and it means more to me than any other place.

Nice park. It was clean and had plenty of shade and seats. The restroom was clean and stocked. The concession stand food and drinks was good.

What a treasure. Wide walking trails. Several playgrounds. Drinking fountains. Parking lots. Easy to maneuver a double stroller too. Welcoming to people of all sizes, colors and shapes. A terrific park. Well done City of Dallas. Working bathrooms or clean port a potties would have earned five stars but neither of those were found. The playground had age appropriate climbing structures- for whatever age child you have. And it was convenient to have a toddler playground right next to the bigger playground so it was easy to have multiple children in one area and I could see them all. The park is mostly level and there is a stone pavilion in the park which is so beautiful. I am so glad I visited and will definitely return. .

I try to walk/jog there at least 4 to 5 days weekly. Nice concrete path and a very complete Recreation Center.

This is a very nice park with a long run of paths to walk, run, or bike on. There are many benches and water fountains throughout the park, which are great for resting and rehydrating while enjoying your time here. My dog enjoyed the cool water from the dog fountain after our walk. Kiest park has a playground area for children as well. There are plenty of picnic tables and grilling areas in the shade... as well as a covered pavilion area. There was a group doing a workout dance class the morning I was there... fun!

I am so greatful for kiest Park I had to post about it. Not everyone can get around to go far to see Christmas lights, and Kiest Park brought Christmas lights to our community. Thank you because your efforts and thoughts of the set up is appreciated. I stopped and embraced your lights with my daughter and enjoyed every moment. I saw families coming in and taking pictures with their little ones. A little toddlers excitement captured my heart. It's not Walt Disney lights but the heart behind it is bringing a lot of smiles to some families in this community. Thank you

We love this place it's so much fun walking in nature.

It was every nice and peaceful here .... Thank you OMG I Love my me date here it marvelous

Since this is a park I feel free to give Five stars for sentimental value!!!! I grew up in Oak Cliff Texas. This is a section of Dallas in the western region of the city limit. At one time it was populated by the working class. One of my acquaintances and peripheril friends was Stevie Ray Vaughn. We went to the same elementary and High School. This park was a " Hang out" back in the day. Now,I didn't do much hanging out here and I'm not sure about Stevie. I do know his childhood home is right down the street. So possibly when the City of Dallas decided to honor Stevie and his brother Jimmy,Kiest park was a good place to do it. Last September which would have been Stevie's 67 th birthday,a memorial steel art sculpture depicting Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimmy Vaughn was dedicated here. Stevie was a great musician taken from us way too soon. I think the City did a great job remembering him with this surprisingly good steel sculpture. If you're in Dallas,it's definitely worth the trip. If you are a Stevie Ray fan, it's a must do. Go!

Nothing but bitter ass racist ass people at this park, I been taking my son to this for the longest

Can't bring outside drinks to a hot 4 hour baseball game? It's 90 degrees and high humidity. Absolutely ridiculous I wasn't allowed to bring my bottled water. Never heard of this policy at a public park.

Very nice park ... Huge ... So much space .. we only went straight to the play ground area but the park stretched as far as I could see ... Will definitely have to go back and walk the trail ..!! I wander how safe it is in the evening time ...

What a beautiful park. As we went down to play some tennis here at The Kiest Tennis Club. This Tennis Club is surrounded by beautiful trees and when the weather is perfect like it was for us, its so relaxing as well. These tennis courts are gated in and the courts are well maintained. The park area is also well up kept. There is private tennis practices going on sometimes in the bottom courts and then their is a school that practices till like 5pm most days. Outside of that, it looks as if the courts are open to the community. So if you are in the area, and looking for a place to play tennis for a few hours, this is the place right here!

Eff White Rock! Keist Park has the BEST walking trail in Dallas. Plenty of shade and best of all, no obnoxious bikers or gaggles of running clubs. Aside from the most excellent walking trail, they have a community center, play grounds, soccer fields, tennis courts, picnic areas, EVERYTHING! Plus, I used to have my Girl Scout troop meetings here so I get a little nostalgic every time I visit:-) I love this place!

It's a beautiful day- after all the rain and tornados we've had these couple of days. It's not to busy right now but people are out here getting their fitness on. On any giving time you can come and walk, run, jog if you like. I have seen workout groups on occasion. (Bootcamps) I don't have kids but have notice kids in uniforms practicing soccer- I guess more doing the summer time. It's a kid area with slides, a tennis area, and also maybe baseball but don't quote me on that. I Google it and it said 2.8 miles around. It's not intimidating because once you get started- it's over before you know it. Best of all its free. The park does have a qym. It's been awhile since asking but it wasn't expensive to join. I believe they still have a ZUMBA class here also. I did that once a long time ago- good class. Rather cold or hot- this is a nice place to come and relax or workout at. P.S. people do bring their dogs here.

Great place to relax and chill with your loved ones. Nice clean area lots room and space to throw a football...have a picnic...a family room...or whatever you choose. Love the fact they have a recreation center here where you can have an inside gathering. The inside of the recreation center is very clean. Don't come here ofter actually this my first time in a long while I been up here. But I highly recommend you have this on your park and recreation list

I love kiest park if you are in love with beautiful scenery on a walking trail you will enjoy kiest park

My son had some baseball games here this weekend. Nice park for that. Fields were in good shape. There were local food venders on bikes riding around selling food that looked/smelled great. There were people cleaning up trash which was really nice. Lots of people out playing in the park. The park was great for baseball but the playground was a little small and lacking. My only negative about the park.

Large park well suited for walking, outside gatherings, softball, baseball, soccer, and other sporting events. Recent improvements include an upgraded walking trail around the park and softball field enhancements.

I've always said, Kiest Park is one of the best Parks Dallas has to offer. Plenty of wooded areas to give a brisk walk in the park a scenic mental diversion and some much need shade on those hot summery days. And did I mention the amenities, a play ground, new baseball fields, basketball courts, tennis courts and community center offering a range of activities to the young, old and in between. I love Kiest Park, it is a special gem to the community of Oak Cliff. The people are nice and friendly and diverse. If you haven't visited it or walked it trails, I believe you will fall in love with it, as I have.

This is a huge park! Lots of trees, grass, and open spaces. Great place to bring the family for some fresh air. Probably one of the best city parks in the Dallas area. The amenities are many: recreation center, playground areas, outdoor/indoor spaces (for rent), basketball courts, baseball fields, lots of parking lots, and a running/walking/biking trail. The park has a main trail that loops around the park and is about 2 miles long. But if you also add in the side trails, it comes out to about 5K. It's mostly flat, but it does have some small hills and dips (changes in elevation) . It's been recently renovated, with many parts of the trail being wider. I'm loving the finished product! I met my girl here, so this place will always be special to me.

Played in a youth baseball tourney over the weekend. The field were all dirt infields because they were actually adult softball fields. What was shocking was the home plate was wooden and in bad shape. Restrooms were portojons and you had to walk a little not to reach them.

Big park that is well maintained and has lots of old trees and blossoms that are lovely. Good place for running, has a rose garden, lots of sports fields, ample parking, and indoor and outdoor space to rent/reserve for events. Just wish it was closer to me!

I've taken up running recently and this is a really nice park. The trail goes on forever and ever (yuge) and you can also walk right into the recreation center and do some weight training if your'e into that. Very family friendly and all the dogs everywhere were really cute. PARKING- wasn't loving it. I got there around 2 pm yesterday (Tuesday) and it was fine. I finished my walk/run around 6 pm and could barely pull out my spot the lot was so narrow. There was a car right in front of me and one behind me waiting and I had JUST gotten in my car. I'd go as early as possible because after 5 it's pretty busy. It's covered by trees which is good if you're not as paranoid as I am, but when it starts to get woodsy there's some intense Ted Bundy vibes going on. It would be very easy for someone to hide in the shrub and grab someone, so ladies be careful. Not the type of trail I would run at night. Tennis courts, basketball courts, and playgrounds included. There's also work out machines outside built into the park which I've never seen before but always wanted to try. Overall 08.5/10 would workout again. P.S. there are multiple people smoking weed inside their car throughout Kiest Park. I didn't care that much but I know that does bother some people. Enjoy this big awesome park!

this park is huge ..... went to a babyshower here, they have like a party room they rent.....

This park is amazing! I really enjoy walking here. People are respectful and the park is clean. There is a rec center here as well. $15 dollars a year for membership and $18 a month to use weight rooms etc. Such a great price!
