Along the path, you’ll find a large deck overlooking the beaver pond and a sign display on the history of the Town.

Dig It Dog Park

The gate code for the park is simple, press 2 & 4 at the same time, then 3, then enter.

Monarch Park
610 Cambridge Dr.
Monarch Park is one you’ve probably driven by but may not have noticed. It’s in the Summerhill Farms subdivision that is across from Lovejoy Elementary. It has a playground area with artificial turf and a very cool climbing “rock,” large picnic pavilion, picnic tables, large grill, benches and trash cans. For running and playing “small” games of catch, there’s a long, narrow greenspace which also has bird houses positioned along the tree line.
Parkside Park
Parkside Trailhead at Stacy Road and Stone Hinge Drive
This is a 27.8 open space park and features the paved Parkside Trail. The trail connects Stacy Road to Beaver Run Park.
Veterans Park
372 Town Place; adjacent to Fairview Town Hall
The park is a small, meditative area that honors the men and women who have served our country in the military. There are six monuments, one dedicated to each of the branches: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard and Merchant Marines. The sculpture, Flamma Libertatis, overlooking the pond was created by North Texas sculptor Michael Pavlovsky. The 10 foot symbolic eternal flame honors the memory of the veterans of the community. The triangular base contains the words: VALOR, HONOR, and SACRIFICE. Also in the park are stones that have been purchased by individuals or groups to honor someone who has served in the armed forces. Stones with a gold star indicate that the person honored was killed in combat. The closest parking is at Town Hall.
Village Green/The Village Trail
Approx. Watertower Way and Murray Farm Road
This trail curves around Fairview Town Center, apartments, shops, a hotel, and Watertower Way. The Village Green Park, however, is the star of the show for this series. If you’re driving there from other parts of town, it’s easiest to park in the lot behind Bowlero, at the corner of Murray Farm Road and Watertower Way. It is an 8-acre park with open spaces, a watershed area, playground, gazebo, two half-court basketball/sports courts, benches, picnic tables, paved trail, water fountain for humans and pets, dog sanitation station and trash cans.
