Dallas Parks: Kiest Park
I have always enjoyed Kiest Park, ever since I first went there as a 10-year-old boy. While I admit it has “changed” since then, I think it is an under-appreciated crown jewel in the OC that just needs a little TLC. It has a nice, llloonnngg hike and bike trail (unlike that wimpy, short .6 mile one on Kessler Parkway….I hesitate to call that a trail, more like a driveway), outstanding softball fields, soccer fields, tons of open space and more facilities (tennis, basketball, rec center) than any other park in the Cliff.
The problem is that the place has become a litter magnet, with folks dropping their fast food wrappers and beer cans on the ground instead of in the trash cans.
But I still get over there once in a while to ride my bicycle around the place and reminisce. If we can keep it clean, then everyone can continue to enjoy it.
