    Beautiful day in Dallas
    Bill U.

    Cool little park for a walk, run or bike ride. We took our daughter and friends there for Homecoming pictures.

    I really love this trail! It's right behind a ton of apartments so if you live there it's a great outdoorsy spot to go for an easy walk. The trails are nicely defined in the ground with arrows to keep you from getting lost. The White Rock Creek is so peaceful, hidden right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city.

    Small creek just off the trail.

    This is park is surprisingly larger than it seems. When you first pull up to the park, it looks like a rather small place, but as you venture to the start of the trail, it actually extends for quite a ways. There is a small parking lot that can accommodate about 15 or so cars, and when we got here on a Saturday afternoon; we were able to still find parking. This park has a small picnic pavilion as well as a playground for small kids. There is a well kept green that extends for a ways, but the real attraction here are the trails. They are mountain bike as well as hiking trails. When you are at the entrance of the trail, the designations have bikes go one way and hikers go the other so that you see bikers coming towards you if you are a hiker and vice versa. The trails are easy and not arduous, so it's really nice to find something like this within the city limits. We came to hike, but honestly, it looked like a lot of fun to bike here, so maybe we'll try that sometime. Parts of the trail are near a residential area, but it's still pretty tucked away. There were also quite a few postings at the trailhead that were really helpful that explained more about DORBA and the trail. Really liked this place and will definitely be back!

    A hidden gem. The park looks a lot smaller than it actually is. Follow the concrete path which will lead you to 3 different trails...blue, red or yellow trail. I did the blue trail and it's about 1 mile loop just hang to your left. You'll have a direct view of the river that follows you for a good while along this path. I spotted a few fish and a turtle. Love the sound of the rushing water and the chirping of the birds. The trails are defined so it's easy to stay on track.

    What comfort it is to know you can find such beautiful nature right down the street! An absolute wonder!

    I came to this park to let my kids play on the playground, and the playground is sitting at least 1 foot higher than intended. I don't know if the bark is gone after time, or the dirt settled, or what.. but it's definitely interesting. My son still had fun, but it's a HUGE first step to get on any of the stairs or ladders, and a HUGE drop from any of the slides. Still a pretty little part with a nice walking path, but playground is not ideal for little kids.

    Excellent spot to go on a walk and feel like you are far away from the city. Probably my favorite place to walk in Plano!

    There are a handful of loops you can try (all with exciting names such as Blue Trail, Red Trail, Yellow Trail).

    I've been going to this park for over 54 years. It is still as beautiful now as it was back then…read more It is an easy 7.5 mile walk from the house or 9 miles if I stick to the formal trails. My last three trips were for this year's Memorial Day activities in support of Carry the Load. This park comes to a new life when there is a large event such as the very noble Carry the Load. Reverchon's beautiful greenery, powerful oaks and gentle rolling meadows are accented with the dark reddish sandstone walls and structures that soothes the soul. It is almost like a slice of Eden.To see this impressive park comfort those grieving as they remember the fallen military, police, fire and other first responders validates its role as a magnanimous friend. It fosters the catharsis and healing needed by many. The trip up and down from the Katy trail (which is high above) can be as challenging as you want to achieve and as beautiful as you want to view. I like the winding stone steps. There are observation terraces, conversation pits, and nature everywhere. It is shielded by quiet Dallas high rises just far enough away. The quiet serenity at night is in contrast to its vibrant life during the day. It retains the natural attraction whether it is a hand full of park goers to over ten thousand. It's great for the dogs, kids and oldtimers like me. There are some sport facilities for the team sport athletes. And of course there are the trails. There is a lack of immediate parking which I think helps retain its natural beauty . There are lots and streets to park if you decide not to go on foot. The adjoining recreation center has all you could want or need. The food and drink options are not too far away and some are world renown. If you need mental cleansing or some quiet reflection, Reverchon Park is the place to stroll.

    It had some nice areas like the front entrance that had a beautiful flower garden with concrete…read moreseats. Some people report sketchy behavior but that's on par for a public park right?! I haven't noticed excessive issues with litter but I've been multiple times and they take really really good care of the landscaping. I appreciate that! This park leads to direct access to the Katy Trail.

    What a treasure Klyde Warren Park is for Dallas! Opened in 2012 on a deck over a freeway, it now…read moreserves as a central hub of events for the downtown Dallas area. Today while I was at the park there was a vibrancy that was contagious. It brought the Chicago song, Saturday In The Park to mind, but I am still looking for the man selling Ice Cream! He is probably here, I just have not found him yet! Of course I have not made to the Food Truck section yet, and THAT is probably where he is at... So far I have seen people playing life-size Chess, kids playing in a dancing fountain, venders selling goods, authors selling books, people playing ping pong, and "a man playing guitar singing for us all!"

    Anything downtown I will always rate at least a star or 2 lower due to horrendous parking options…read more Park was pretty lively and full of activity though. I will say the playground's pretty chaotic at times. Bunch of brats unsupervised being annoying. Saw this kid helping her little sister up one of the climbing net structures with a slide midway up and the kid was telling another kid to move so her little sister can get by. Now I get it if the other kid was just parked there not moving but the kid was moving but maybe not at the pace the brat wanted. To me, seems like a you problem and someone didn't tell her the world didn't revolve around her and her little sister. Was at another part of the playground and noticed a mom suddenly started yelling obscenities because she lost her son. She was just sitting at a bench I guess closer to her other 2 kiddos. Um newsflash. If you can't handle 3 kids, your poor choices don't need to infect other people trying to enjoy their time there. She eventually found her son but yet another story of someone who thinks the world revolves around themselves.
