Things to Do  

Texas Sculpture Garden

Texas Sculpture Garden, Frisco

 1 Review  This is a free park with sculpture done by Texas artists. There are both indoor and outdoor sculptures. We took our granddaughter here to see them one day.

Hall Office Park

Hall Office Park, Frisco

 3 Reviews  Driving through Hall Office Park you will see the oddest sculptures dotting beautifully manicured lawns and landscaped gardens. It is almost like a small city. There are 37 which have produced by some of Texas’ most famous artists. 

Historic Downtown

Historic Downtown, Frisco

 1 Review  The downtown area isn’t great and it’s a reasonable distance from the major and more modern shopping areas like Stonebriar Mall and all the shopping areas across from it. A lot of the original buildings however have been restored. The shops you will find will sell antiques, clothing, quilting... 

Central Park

 1 Review  This park is located on Parkwood drive and spreads out across 8 acres next to the Hampton Inn & Suites.

Dr. Pepper BallPark

Dr. Pepper BallPark, Frisco

 1 Review  Located in the heart of Frisco is the Minor League Baseball team, the Frisco Rough Riders who play at Dr. Pepper Ballpark. This is one of the best minor league ballparks in the country to catch a game, and the entertainment lasts much longer than just the 9 innings in the game. Mascots races, diaper... 

Indian Trail

Indian Trail, Frisco

 1 Review  The trail was originally used by Indians in their hunting and raiding. After settlers arrived, they called the route the Texas Road.

Watering Holes, Frisco

 1 Review  The grounds undulate in parts and on the highest point there are two recreated watering holes which cascade down both sides of the hill. These are an attempt to recreate where the cattlemen would stop during the trail drives.
