Aubrey families can keep an outing simple with a downtown playground, stretch the afternoon at Leslie Park, or plan an indoor library visit. Private swim lessons and a nearby state-park trip need more advance planning. The state park below is outside Aubrey, clearly marked as a day trip.
Plan a day that fits your family
For a shorter outing, pick Matthews Park or Leslie Park rather than trying to fit both in. Save Ray Roberts for a longer day, and check the exact park unit, alerts and day-pass availability before driving.
