Fall is the perfect time of year for families at The Parks at Wilson Creek to slow down, head outside, and make the most of this beautiful season. Whether you’re looking for weekend adventures, creative at-home crafts, or just a reason to gather around the fire pit, The Parks is your starting point for all things fall.
Local Pumpkin Patches & Fall Festivals
There’s no better way to welcome the season than with a trip to a pumpkin patch. Just a short drive from The Parks, Preston Trail Farms in Gunter is a fan favorite, offering a classic pumpkin patch experience with hayrides, a petting farm, and their famous Big Orange Pumpkin Farm open all season long.
Keep an eye on local event calendars for fall festivals across Collin County. Celina’s own Friday Night Market – Fall Edition and the Beware of the Square offer live music, food trucks, and plenty of fun for all ages. From caramel apples to face painting, these events are great ways to spend quality time in the community.
Nature Walks & Leaf Hunts on Local Trails
You don’t have to travel far to take in the colors of the season. The Parks at Wilson Creek is home to winding sidewalks and greenbelt trails perfect for evening strolls or weekend family walks. Grab a basket and turn your walk into a leaf scavenger hunt, searching for different shapes, colors, or sizes of leaves can keep little ones engaged while teaching them a bit about nature.
Nearby trails at Old Celina Park also offer wide-open spaces for picnics, exploration, and fresh air. Pack a thermos of cider and a few granola bars, and you’ve got an afternoon adventure.
Backyard Fire Pit Nights & S’mores Setups
Nothing says fall like a cozy night around the fire. Whether you have a backyard fire pit or plan to gather with neighbors at one of The Parks’ community amenities, a cool evening with s’mores, hot cocoa, and a few good stories is hard to beat.
Set up a DIY s’mores station with graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate, and a few fun add-ins like peanut butter cups or caramel squares. Invite the neighbors and make it a night—these are the moments that make community living feel like home!
Friday Night Lights & Local Sports
Fall means football in Celina! Gather with neighbors and head to a Celina High School football game to cheer on the Bobcats. With a stadium atmosphere full of spirit and pride, Friday Night Lights is more than just a game; it’s a local tradition!
Bundle up, grab some hot cocoa, and make it a family event. Kids love the energy, parents love the connection, and it’s just one more way The Parks brings people together.
