Whether you're seeking excitement, rest, or a good time. This park essentially has everything. Contrary to previous reviews, this location is now truly stunning as you can see from the few photos provided. For anyone in the area, I sincerely recommend visiting this park. It has a very small, but thought-provoking, section that is fenced off for monarch butterflies. Once it is monarch season, this could potentially excite young children. In addition, if that doesn't excite the kids, I'm sure the water park will. It has two slides that may be frightening for the kids, but they may also be thrilling and it has a nice-sized pool. Only drawback, in my opinion, is that they only operate during the summer.(I believe) If all else fails, there is a small playground for children, as well as a park that can be reached by going off trail that has a much larger playground for children of all sizes. However, there is a tennis court, basketball court, and baseball field for the more sporty individuals, so if any of these sports are your thing, you can undoubtedly enjoy the space for your sport. Additionally, if you prefer playing indoor sports, there is a basketball court and an indoor gym that are available. However, accessing it does require payment. In my opinion, this park just has nice little additions like the vandalized tunnel and the Japanese garden for the benefit of everyone outside. If you're looking for great photo spots, there are a number of them in both of these tiny areas of the park, which each add their own vibe and flavor. You could easily spend an hour or two walking around the entire park if you truly take your time and appreciate everything it has to offer. It takes about half a mile to walk around the park on your own. Overall, the scenery is absolutely stunning. In addition to being a great place for a romantic date, it's also a great place to kill some time by strolling around. As previously stated, I'd recommend this park to anyone who is in the area. Absolutely stunning sights, and it was just a fun time.

Family members moved into the nearby neighborhood & we all visited the park a few times. It is a good destination for a number of reasons: the Aquatic Center, with its large pool, pool slide, kiddie pools, etc was built only about two years ago (although the hours of swimming for the general public are NOT particularly inviting), there are resident ducks that bathe, wander, swim in and around the park's lake & flowing Kidd Springs, there is a tennis court, Japanese Garden that is presently under reconstruction so we could not enjoy that, there is a large rec center that offers classes, picnic tables, barbecue grills, &, at the 5th Street entrance, there is a large playground with toddler swings, climbing wall, etc. Since parts of the park are shaded, it is a good place to come, check out the ducks and cool off.

This is a neat little park in Oakcliff, I did a 5k here, and I need to venture out to Oakcliff more. There are a ton of hidden gems here. The 5k started here, and there were FOOD trucks here, I LOVE FOOD TRUCKS! Too bad, all I got was a banana because I was about to run a 5k, if I had eaten anything from the food truck, I would have fallen asleep and missed the 5k. This is a cute park with plenty of parking around.

This multi purpose park is jam packed year round with family friendly events and activities. Kidd Spring Park features a local swimming pool, lake with wild water fowl, tennis court, playground with swings, benches, picnic tables, bbq grillers, gym, fitness room and activity center. And plenty of walking paths to enjoy the scenery all year round. My favorite event is the free Dallas Symphony Orchestra concert that performs every year. With half a dozen food trucks, local choir groups, and more. It is a classic to enjoy and support.

Two large slides

Nice swimming pool for all ages. Has 2 slides, a lot of shaded areas to sit, kiddie pool area and cost $14 for 1 adult & 2 kids under 11. The only negatives I would mention is the young staff at the cashier window. We sat there staring at them for 2 minutes while they were texting in their phone instead of helping us. The other negative would be there are a lot of bees around. Other than that, it's a great place to cool off.

Walked from the restaurant we were going to eat. Scary walk. U can tell this used to b great park. Needs some TLC.

Lovely for a walk! Could spend an hour or so strolling and enjoying the scenario. Some shaded spots but really wouldn't rely on shade.

[4] - Location [5] - Uniqueness…read more [5] - Free Entry A hidden gem that brings me memories of " A Secret Garden" Or a ritual sacred place in Uptown Dallas. Though very small and delicate, this would the perfect place for photography, read a book, even perhaps some meditation. There is unique stones statues placed here from, Dragons, to gargoyles, angels. The trees are delicately placed, some I have never seen before with many beautiful colors and foliage. I loved it when I came to check it out, many much parking so you may get luck if there is not many people there, which usually there are for taking pictures. It is not a big place, it is very small, but enough to take a nice little stroll and enjoy for whomever made this place available to the public. Note - When we arrived there are sign's at the entrances that say, in order to enter this property you had to call a number that was on the sign and ask for permission first before entering. I did not call, and just walked around admiring the garden as many others did. Though, if you do plan on going, enter at your own risk ( You prob should call and ask for permission first). Sadly I did not take a picture of the sign. I was probably only there 15 minutes at the most to enjoy the whole garden. I'd love to go back with my camera to take some nice pictures sometime. Totally a nice little place to check out if you happen to be in this area.

Couple of figure statues. Big whoop. Not much else going on here. Not really scenic or anythingread more

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.

The views of downtown and all the bridges is something else. You can feel like you're all alone out there, but so close to the action too. As a woman, we always have to be viligant about our surroundings, and I would not come here at night. I've been early in the mornings, when it's still a little dark out, so I usually walk up on the levees. You can see people coming from far away. I ran into an after-hours party one early Saturday, but since a flock camera was installed, I have not seen the kids out there - just people getting their fitness on, or the occasional hobo. I believe the entire trail goes about 4+ miles. When the weather cools off a little, I'll tackle the entire thing. Right now, I am enjoying the solitude and pumping up my music and dancing a little down the trail. If you hear cats screaming - it's just me singing along to Chappel Roan, so don't fear.

I always enjoy coming here whenever I'm in Dallas for the views of the Calatravas bridges and the…read moreDallas downtown skyline. The hiking and biking trail takes you past some of the most scenic parts of downtown Dallas. The end of each trail has a bridge for connection. The trail is well-kept and clean, giving some of the most breath-taking views of the city. It's perfect for walking/biking and for renting a scooter. I saw plenty of people snapping photos/videos/selfies for their feed and rightfully so. No doubt you'll get some of the best views of Dallas when you're here!
