At 800 acres, Oak Point Park and Nature Preserve is the largest park in Plano, TX. All this space allows for lots of indoor and outdoor recreational activities. While nature exhibits and venue rentals are found inside the park’s attractive modern facility, the real fun is found outside.
Enjoy guided nature walks, hiking, and biking on the 8.5 miles of paved and soft trails. The area around Rowlett Creek is particularly scenic. A centrally located lake offers plenty opportunities for fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and stand-up paddle boarding.
