Debusk Park

Nice park.
We wanted to enjoy the early evening weather and take a stroll. We stopped by Debusk Park since they have a nice walking/​jogging path. The trail runs all the way around the park. Most of it is cement, but there are sections of it that are bridges made out of wood, so watch your step. It helps break up the monotony of running on you average sidewalk. The path goes up and down some nice hills, through heavily wooded areas, and right along the side of some residential streets.
There is a opening where you run next to and cross over a creek, so I can imagine that the mosquito population here can be pretty heavy. Be careful and wear some DEET. Probably the crown jewel of this park (for some people, not for me), is this huge play ground. When I say huge, I mean HUGE!!! It’s a pretty massive structure of wooden beams and planks to climb and play on. The path cuts right by it, so if you take it the whole 1.44 miles around, you’ll pass by it!
Cool place if you want a change of scenery and a nice trail to walk. If you’re close by, take a walk and enjoy Mesquite!

I have taken my son to lots of parks in the area and this one is really impressive. It’s got 3 wooden structures with many hidden passages and and slides. My son had a great time but I have to knock off a star because it’s almost too big. visibility is low because of the way the structures are built so if you have a crazy toddler that you cant trust to play from afar I would suggest a different park. You could easily lose sight of a toddler and have to really stay on your toes here.

DeBusk park is probably the best park in Mesquite. According to their website it’s a 42.52 acre site with a 1.44 mile (total trail length) concrete trail connecting to Westover Greenbelt Park through Westover Park. I’ve played some kickball and had a couple of bbqs here along with some 9 hole disc golf. I’ve also walked my dog here and he was very happy. There’s some exploring you can do here, check it out.
