My grandkids also love Arbor Hills nature preserve. The playground has areas for little ones and bigger kids. There are also hike and bike trails. The entrance and parking lot are on Parker Road between Midway and Marsh.
My best friend (whose son is my son's best friend) lives in west Plano and I live in The Colony. I'm looking for a fun park for us to meet at that would be in between us. Probably something in central or west Plano.

I also think Arbor Hills is great. My daughter loves it there, gives a feeling og being in the country while in the city. give it a try!
My son LOVES the "tank park" behind Vines High School in Plano (off 15th between Custer & Independence). It isn't big and fancy but since you're talking about boys...the tank is fun for them to play on and get creative!!
Good luck with wherever you go!

I will 3rd the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve. It's a great park!
My kids like Arbor Hills Nature Preserve. It's at 6701 West Plano Parkway. It's somewhat close to Presbyterian Hospital Plano if that gives you an idea of the location.
