🛝 Why Locals Love Zinnia Park

This park isn’t just a green space—it’s a whole vibe, and here’s why:
• Giant Splash Pad – When that Texas heat kicks in, the splash pad is the ultimate cool-down spot. Kids love it. Adults sneak in a few runs through the fountains too, no judgment
• Colorful Playground  – Bright, safe, and built for hours of imaginative play—plus, there’s plenty of seating nearby for chill parents
• Walking & Biking Trails  – Whether you’re walking the pup, jogging off those tacos, or just clearing your head after work, these trails make it easy to zone out and zen out
• Picnic Pavilion  – Grab some Whataburger or homemade tacos, snag a shady picnic table, and boom—instant family outing or date night
• Wide-Open Fields  – Whether it’s a casual soccer match or just some Frisbee fun, there's space to move, stretch, and play
