Castle Hills Parks
Springtime is here! Each month we will be highlighting a specific Castle Hills Park. A few of the parks have been renovated, and there are more parks approved for renovations. The Train Park is a great park with a cool train for the kiddos to climb on, especially for toddlers. These parks allow for creative freedom and making memories.
