I haven't seen may parks with such a concentration on climbing. It's genius. Several play spaces that separate small and big kids, permanent toilets and picnic benches are available. There is also a large open grassy field for sports. You will need to watch your kiddo's as the park has gates, but multiple entry/ exit points so be prepared to move around as kiddos explore.

There's places for the younger kids(babies/toddlers) and climbing areas for the older kids . There are plenty water fountains and benches for rest and relaxation . There is shaded areas for those extremely hot Texas days . Lots of open area for space to play catch . This is far from your ordinary park and you could easily spend over three hours here . Highly recommended and super close to the Epic area / waterpark.

There are activities for kids of all ages. It's clean and nicely maintained. Parking is not a problem and there are also benches and a nice shaded patio for people to bring food to eat here. This park is also next to tennis courts or pickleball courts and a water park. Only downside of this place is that it's next to the main street, so it can get noisy at times.

It's a great place to go for a walk in the woods with some elevation change up hills (don't expect mountains) that will provide some challenge without being defeating for those of any ability level. There are some pretty views, and you get the feeling of being out in nature and more connected with the earth. It's pretty crowded; on a Sunday at 8, I had to wait in a line to get in. Go early to secure a parking spot. They let people in as others leave, so the whole time you're there expect to see plenty of others out on the trail. No issues with bugs on March day. I especially love Cedar Ridge for trail running because it's challenging and perfect for training without destroying your legs. This is a hot spot for trail runners for sure. Definitely a must see for nature lovers in the DFW area. Temper your expectations if you've hiked out of state, but just remember it's really nice relative to more limited opportunities to "get outside" (in the words of REI) we have in this region.

It's so nice to be surrounded by nature and to see such great views. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and maybe bring a hiking stick if you have an issue with balance, since there are lots of uneven paths and steps. Overall, it was a really nice park and we walked the entire area. Will definitely visit again!

Turtle Creek Park is one of those hidden-in-plain-sight gems that makes city living feel a little…read moremore peaceful. It's close to where I live, and I love having such a beautifully maintained green space nearby. There's lots of open lawn that would be perfect for a picnic or just soaking up some sunshine. It's dog-friendly (major points for that!), and I've consistently seen pet parents doing a great job cleaning up after their pups. Personally, I prefer this kind of open space over a traditional dog park--as long as your pup has excellent recall and listens well. Just a heads-up: Turtle Creek Blvd runs alongside the park and it's a busy street, so keep that in mind. One of my favorite things about this park is how it feels like a little escape from the hustle of the city. Maybe I've been lucky, but's it's never gotten overly busy during my visits. Whether you're walking your dog, taking a quiet stroll, or reading under a tree, it's just a nice vibe. Pro Tip: There is some street parking available, but only on certain sides depending on signage--so double-check before leaving your car. All in all, a relaxing and scenic spot in the heart of Dallas. Happy Exploring!

I've heard rumors of it possibly being expanded on in the near future but don't know of any concrete details. Pros - Located next to Mountain Creek in Grand Prairie. The course itself has some small hills and decent walks. There is a great view of the lake, but water rarely comes into play (unless you've got some serious wind or just didn't throw the best shot). - The holes are wide open with very few obstacles, so it's a great place to really chunk some discs. - Usually there's not a whole bunch of traffic, especially in regards to other disc golfers. Occasionally there are parties in the pavilion on I believe it's the south side, but not on a regular basis. (Mostly if the weather is pleasant.) Cons - Only nine holes. Not a huge con because you can totally play the round again if you want to get 18 in. - I probably would not come to this park without my husband or some other friends. It's a little sketchy, if you catch my drift. Definitely not once the sun has set. :) - This is a big one and I almost forgot: no signage on the holes. The first time we came, fortunately a friend was familiar and showed us the way. However, I imagine there's a way to pull up the course map through DGCR or Udisc. Will definitely play again!

Out of the four that piqued my interest, this one was first on the list. Looks like there were other trails branching off from the main one, but I stuck with the main walking path. There were benches and informational signs scattered along the route. All of them worthwhile in reading. Unfortunately, I was saddened by how much litter I found. Irresponsible and narcissistic people. Boooo! The Nature preserve was well worth the time spent and effort to drive out here. Check it out!

The best thing about Arlington is all the trees and hills. North Texas is mostly flat and DFW isn't known for its foliage, but there's quite a few spots in Arlington that really feel "far away." There's true hills and canyons and forests and creeks. You can be in the center of the metroplex and still feel lost in the woods. Crystal Canyon is such a spot. This park is so pretty. I appreciate all the little signs that explain the trail and history of the area. Crystal Canyon gets its name from all the crystals (gypsum) to be found in the vicinity, particularly the creek. There's a few beautiful bridges and benches. The hike is fairly short but super scenic and enjoyable.
