A hidden gem, dont tell your friends! Come here anytime and you will see a variety of activities going on from dog training/walking to personal trainers or group classes working out to kids on the playground. It also has a great view of downtown. There is a sidewalk that goes around the parameter of the park as well as benches, gazebos, and cement posts for sitting. Dogs are usually let off their leashes here in the afternoon just FYI.

This is a great park near the State Thomas area. Great lighting, kids areas and a walking path. Some history here to take in as well if your interested.The whole park is some what contained and dog friendly.

Great park for letting your dog run around, participate in a pickup sport, host a picnic, or just lounge around and people watch

Sooo beautiful!!! Had a great Saturday with the family, picnic in the park, and cool play ground for the kiddos!

My kids & I my love this park! The upgraded playground is one of the best we’ve ever been to, BOTH my son & daughter LOVE it and that’s a hard task. Sometimes we picnic, sometimes we race RC cars, the other day we played whiffle ball whatever we do it’s mostly at Griggs. Love the vibe here, people walking dogs, boot camps, picnics you name it and yes STUNNING views of Downtown & Uptown! A little gem right in the heart of Dallas. ️

What a a lovely park in the middle of bustling busy traffic. Go around dusk and take a picnic basket. Very spacious and with good view. Dogs are often off leash.

Really nice park for picnics. It has a good sidewalk for jogging. Great space for an HIIT workout (and yoga )

Fabulous, well designed and spacious park. Found it quite by accident.. Had no idea it even existed. Lucky people who reside in the area and use it.

Nice and spacious place to romp around with the pet or little ones. The area is clean and parking isnt terrible. Enjoy your day at the park.

Beautiful neighborhood park right off the highway. The jogging trail is short but the kids area is massive and looks like a lot of fun. There are always a bunch of dogs, all on a leash for the most part and everyone does their part in cleaning up after them.

Cute little park! If I could walk my cat Id take her here!

We got a ton of lights for you to go see

Nice open area for dogs to run around in!There were many owners who had their dogs off leash without any issues. Great place to come to if you want to let your dog off leash.Only reason I wouldnt give it 5 stars is that there isnt much apart from the green open space. There is a small playground and a basketball court, but thats pretty much it.

Clean and nice. Plenty of shade to sit and read, do some out the house work. Animal service officer around informing dog owner of leash requirements. Only thing is theres nothing around to buy drinks or snacks. Playground for toddlers and older kids. If you take your little ones, go prepared with drinks and snacks. Other than that a great place.

Great park but desperately needs a fenced dog area. There are no fenced dog parks in our neighborhood that are free and it sucks.

Great park for kids of all ages. Its very well maintained with 2 play areas one for the little kids and one for the bigger kids. This is the park where all the local parents go for platdates and to meet other parents. Amazing dog park as well (semi fenced in) with a big oval for them to run and play.

Really nice park very clean and looked as if maintenance is kept up

Great place for all types of physical activities. Gorgeous view of downtown Dallas skyline!

Great for everyone - be it if you have a dog or if you just want to chill in the sun

Great park. Nice green open space. Great view of downtown Dallas. New playground equipment that includes a teeter totter thats actually a hit with adults, too.

Nice and Luxurious b I do not like concrete seats and the off street parking yuck b if ur early comeon in

Beautiful area to sit and relax

Love the views! Great for dogs and even has a bball court. You Dont feel the pretentiousness you feel at other parks in Uptown.

Very clean, lots of open grass area, good location

Great views of downtown!

I LOVE this park, if you own a dog or just enjoy them, you can find 15-25 dogs Monday-Thursday around 5:45-6:00 pm. Its wide open and well maintained, plus you can usually catch an aerobics class if you want.

Nice park ️

Great Park with kids play ground area at the South end, nice open area in the middle thats big enough to play soccer or football and a basketball hoop at the North end, its dog friendly and has a concrete track going around the perimeter for those that like to have a run!

Stunning views of the skyline

Love to walk my dog here ...friendly people and pets

Great park for playing basketball. Parking is sort of limited around the basketball court. Also I see others walking their dogs there,so a great place to take Bud.

Very friendly park people very nice great place to make friends

Beautiful park rich with history! Great place to walk, relax, and play!

I always walk through here and it’s a very refreshing setting.

Beautiful place

Fun park! I come here always with a friend almost every night either to eat, smoke, both, or just chill! I really liked the obelisk with all the facts and history of the park!

A wonderful place to go with family and friend.

The kids playground is a hidden Dallas gem. It is awesome. It comes complete with swings, monkey bars, and slides, which these days are not as easy to come by. Great toddler area, well shaded, just note no bathrooms nearby.

This is an awesome place to come exercise, let your pooch stretch their legs or just sit back and enjoy the Dallas skyline. Did I mention the skyline? Take a few steps up the hill and you will see what I mean.

Beautiful park right in the middle of Dallas downtown !! It has a beautiful walkway for joggers and bikers. Entire park overlooks downtown skyline and gets fantastic view. Park also has kids play area. You can also rent a motorized bike here and enjoy a short ride. We had fun time riding that motorized bike. A must visit for a jogger and biker.

Nice area.. great place to grab a piece of mind for a minute. You can always find scooters here if you are in the area. Also has a basketball court on deck.

Beautiful park nice place to walk your dog

Great park and kind of hidden in Uptowns urban jungle

My kiddo loved the water park there. Definitely going back soon!

Clean well manicured. Perfect for dog play and hanging around.

Always a pleasure

Love having Griggs Park in the neighborhood!

Easy access from freeway, street parking. Playground good for younger kids, very new equipment too.

Perfect place to fly kites and play games with the kids. Very spacious and pet friendly.

Awesome atmosphere and environment. Cant wait to go back

Super cool park for dogs or working out

One of the best parks in Dallas. Far better than reverchon on the other side of the Katy trail. The basketball court is awesome and stays in good condition with fresh nets. Although, beware that this is a no off leash park for dogs so be careful. Look out for the park ranger with a green shirt who shows up once a month or so.

Cool park in State/Thomas area, good playground!

Nice place to go walking

Perfect place to fly kites and play games with the kids. Very spacious and pet friendly.

Great view of downtown Dallas

We play soccer here twice a week. A vast and clean park for all ages. Open fields available and also a swing set if your feeling like you need some wind blowing in your hair. Put your best shoes on and enjoy the sun!

Great open space for soccer or catch, but the trees are young and there is very little bench seating. The city seems to be trying to crack down on dog owners who let their dogs off leash by posting signage but they don’t seem to be much of a deterrent. There’s a small playground but overall, Griggs is just a large green space. It lacks many of the “amenities” that other parks like Klyde Warren have.

Beautiful park in a stunning neighborhood

My dog loves this park, perfect for bringing him in the afternoons to play with other puppies and get plenty of energy out. He always has a blast- off his leash with quite a few other dogs just running like theres no tomorrow.... The park is nice and open but still fenced around the access road to ensure safety!

Chill and super clean view man

Gorgeous park in the State Thomas Neighborhood of Dallas. Offers a playground and a fantastic view of the Dallas skyline when you walk to the hilltop! Basketball court on the North side and a great place to walk or jog. Griggs is a host to many community events and fitness groups too! Very popular with dog owners and some arent on leashes. Most use the open area as an opportunity to play fetch. While I cant blame them, Id avoid it if you have an aversion to dogs.

Good place to see the night view.

This is NOT a dog park. It is a city ordinance that pets should remain leashed at all times. This is also why patrol officers frequently hand out citations for pet owners who do unleash their pets. This is not only dangerous for your pet, but also for those who do leash their pets. PLEASE be a responsible dog mom/dad and protect your pet by keeping it on a leash. Dallas offers several actual dog parks, such as Mutts, Northpark Dog Park, or even White Rock Lake.

Nice park

Its a nice place to fly drones closer to the city for some good shots of downtown.

I love the addition of the playground. Its not covered but there are two sets for various age ranges. There are two small picnic tables for 8 people total. Would be nice if there was a pavilion so there could be space to have a Childrens party. Parking is limited. Beware: there is NO restroom here.

Very clean and pretty.

Great potential but the park was not graded appropriately when it was rebuilt. After a little rain there are puddles in many places throughout the park.Definitely not worthy of its name sake... The great Dr. Griggs.

Clean and easy to to walk your dog.

I appreciate a park in the city but... Its gonna be a no from me dawg

Very pleasant clean atmosphere friendly people

Would get 5 stars if it had more trees and was off leash for dogs. Needs a dog park area.

Needs remodeling ...

Beautiful park...and you meet alot of dogs!

This park would be much better if there were not off-leash dogs absolutely everywhere and poop everywhere else. Its kind of smelly because of the poop and there is never a time I go and dont encounter an off-leash dog or three.

Epic. puts millennium Park in Chicago on the treadmill running for the same gold worth it

Amazing event my kids had so much fun

Great park

03/25/17-New playground, lots of open space to run around and play, and centrally located. There are dogs running around without a leash, and be careful for the dog feces. Nice place to exercise and have a picnic.

Nice playground. A bit noisy due to the road next to it. Also some shade would be nice!

Under renovation construction through august.Old post. Construction completed years ago. Still a great place

Best park to bring furry friends to get some exercise! is clean and very nice

Nice park for dogs

Clean, dog friendly, fitness classes are often seen meeting here in the afternoons. Good running track at about 1/4 mile around.

Its a good park to visit. People walks there dogs there a lot.

A place to be in the spring.

All that grassy grass

No trees, in the ghetto watch your kids here we visited but left there were some shady looking guys here looked like gang members

Great food as always

Pretty location in a safe part of town. Lots of doggy droppings...

Great space, open area for any type of out door activities.

Uptown spent a lot of money renovating this park. Before it was renovated it wasnt the prettiest park ever, but it was always full of dog lovers and people exercising and playing sports. They closed it down for wayyy longer than planned and now its a lot less usable. Again, what did people use it for? Exercising their dogs and playing sports. Now there is no usable space for sports and they are fining people $200 for having their dogs off the leash.Not to mention, the entire middle part of this park has major drainage issues. It was not designed well. It gets all fenced off every time it rains and is unusable.One of my biggest issues with this park is that it has so much space! They created a mound so that you can either sit on it and see downtown or be shielded from downtown by it. However, there is all this space behind the mound that could VERY easily by fenced off as a dog park! Everyone would win! They would keep the unleashed dogs out of the way and give all of uptowns dog lovers a big safe space to play!PLEASE PUT IN A DOG PARK BEHIND THE MOUND!

Good basketball court

I still confused if I am supposed to read more into the light pattern on the memorial.

Nice place to walk your

Nice basketball Park

Its a nice little park but the locals have turned it into a dog park almost all dogs are off the leash. Very stupid and inconsiderate!!!

Views, space, and cleanliness

Amazing park, shame dallas chases down everyone with a dog.
