McPherson Park features a playground, three pavilions, restrooms, drinking fountain, splashpad, Lyman Whitaker wind sculptures, open play areas, a hike and bike trail, a wildflower area, and the Rock House. The park occupies land that formerly housed one of the major dairy farms in Colleyville and showcases the history in its park amenities. A renovated dairy barn features photos and replicas of an actual milking operation. While the former Dunn/Tirk log barn, built in the late 1800’s, lets visitors peek into the past by raising the shutter openings on either of the barns two primary pens. This barn is one of the few existing log structures remaining in Tarrant County.

The splash pad will be open for the season on May 3 through October 13. Normal hours are Mon.-Sun., 9 a.m.-8 p.m., daily. Dates/times are subject to change. The splash pad is a safe and fun way to cool off during the hot summer months. The City ensures the splash pad remains safe at all times with a layered approach to monitoring. The splash pad system automatically monitors chlorine levels 24/7 and adds more if it drops below a satisfactory level. City staff personally monitor the levels daily, every morning and afternoon, including weekends. Additionally, a third party company manually checks the chlorine levels twice each week.
