There's something special about a playground that feels like it belongs in its surroundings.

Finch Park in McKinney, TX embraces nature-inspired design with earthy tones, wood-inspired details, and play experiences that encourage kids to climb, explore, imagine, and connect with the outdoors.

The playground offers separate spaces for different age groups, including a custom cabin play structure for children ages 2-5 and a custom Landscape Structures Inc. PlayOdyssey® tower designed for kids ages 5-12. Families can also enjoy favorites like the ZipKrooz®, shaded swings, Rhapsody® Outdoor Musical Instruments, and the OmniSpin®, creating plenty of opportunities for active, engaging play.

One thoughtful design feature that often goes unnoticed is the surfacing. While engineered wood fiber maintains the park's natural aesthetic, poured-in-place rubber pathways provide easier access to many of the playground's most popular play experiences, helping families comfortably navigate the space.

If you're looking for playgrounds in McKinney, TX, Finch Park is well worth a visit!

Playgrounds are designed for more than just fun. They’re designed to support how kids grow, learn, and develop at different stages of childhood.

For ages 2–5, play often focuses on building confidence through sensory exploration, imaginative play, motor skill development, and manageable challenges. For ages 5–12, playgrounds can introduce more height, climbing, problem solving, physical challenge, and opportunities for independence and managed risk.

Understanding these developmental differences can help create playgrounds that keep kids engaged while giving them opportunities to build new skills as they grow.

Arlington has a brand new place to climb, explore, and play!

Opened in June 2026, Al Rollins Park is a new 2.4-acre community park located next to the Southwest Branch Public Library in Arlington, TX. With bright colors, exciting climbing challenges, and plenty of ways to play, this new space gives local families even more opportunities to get outside and stay active.

The playground puts climbing, net play, and challenge front and center with the Landscape Structures Volo™ and Quantis® 8.2 structures. Kids can climb, balance, navigate nets, and test their skills before exploring even more play throughout the park.

Freestanding favorites like the We-Saw®, We-Go-Round®, Oodle® Swing, and spinners add opportunities for social and group play, while a turf berm introduces graduated challenge and gives kids another way to climb, move, and explore the space.

We're incredibly grateful to our partners at Parkhill and the Arlington Parks and Recreation Department for their collaboration throughout this project. We're proud to have played a role in creating a new community space that honors the legacy of Al Rollins, an influential leader who played an important role in Arlington's early growth.

If you're looking for new playgrounds in Arlington, family-friendly parks in DFW, or a new place to get outside with the kids, add Al Rollins Park to your list!
