Leaving Euless, you're looking at about 10 min without traffic, close enough that the kids won't gripe about the car ride.

Water views make the outing feel different from standard parks.
Good to know: playground, trails, fishing pond, boat ramp, pavilion.
Parent tip: Texas kids under 17 fish free, no license required. Bring a rod for anyone 8 and up — the pier gets you into deeper water than most local ponds.
