Nice getaway that is tucked into the Colleyville neighborhood. I like to cruise around the area and admire the homes nearby...it's like getting your steps in and watching HGTV at the same time. Venture off from the actual park itself if you want to get in some serious mileage. I love this park whenever I'm in the area teaching a class at the gym. Nice cool down before or after my workouts.

There's a bridge there's some hiking area there's some asphalt for a riding little tricycles for scooters. They have water fountain picnic tables and even a barbecue. What they didn't do was shade the bench areas. There's no place to sit in the shade if you can't slide on the slides. Trying to watch my granddaughter play but I would have to walk too far away to get shade so that's going to stop me from coming on warm days. There are a few walkers out here. So it's a good place to walk for your health. I'm thinking my daughter will bring the grandkids out here. But I'll only come if it's fairly cool outside.

Tons of big gorgeous trees and plenty plush, green lawns for frolicking, a little babbling stream with a walking trail bridge that goes over it. Like a storybook, for real. Rickel Park has 1.5 miles of walking and jogging trails, a picnic area with tables, a couple pavilions, and a great playground that's relatively shaded. There's nothing particularly novel or modern going on here, but this park actually transports you out of suburbia for a second and into the woods. Especially if it's not too crowded. With the right weather it's honestly so peaceful and enjoyable and feels like you're on a little trip. Bring a picnic and play and hike and enjoy.

The bathrooms are a stone's throw from the play structure, which is a HUGE PLUS. The flooring under the main play structure is rubber, but the swings have a bark bottom. There is a nice sized pavilion with picnic benches under it off to the side and a large grassy area behind that. The park is surrounded by mature trees, but unfortunately the area right around the playground was cleared out so there is no shade on the structure aside from two small canopies (which cover only a portion of the play structure). There is only one bench for the mamas and it's in full sun as well. I wouldn't recommend this park in the heat and sun of the summer, but on a cool or cloudy day, it's a fun playground to add to your rotation.

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.
