Wow what an upgrade this park has had! I used to come here as a kid and recently visited with my…read moreson and he loved the variety that this park offered. The highest new slide was quite a climb, but my 5 yr old gained confidence after going up his first time and the reward was a very long slide ride. There are about 5 other slides here too that all offer unique climbing experiences to access them. There's plenty of swings and swing-like equipment and 4 major playing sections. I've seen parks get facelifts, but this one was sooo well worth it and they added more parking which got filled pretty quickly the last day before going back to school! All in all, it was a great time and we'll definitely be back!

Parking is good, just be watchful for children running into the middle of the street. I noticed vehicles driving too fast through the parking area when we visited. The bathroom stalls are huge, especially for moms with strollers. There is also a baby changing station with a bag hook in the corner near the door, which provides privacy. Incredible play space that you could easily spend hours in the sunshine. So get out and enjoy it :)

Beautiful, well maintained, pretty good size and quiet park!…read more We've been living in the area for years and have only recently discovered this beautiful, hidden gem. There's plenty of parking space. The trail is not paved but very well kept, plus wide enough to keep a safe distance during this historical time. The park is actually connected to Walnut Creek Linear Trail, which could give you a good 1.5 mile one way. The trail within Elmer W. Oliver Nature Park doesn't allow bicycle (unpaved). However, if you enter the park from Phillip Thompson Soccer Complex, you can ride your bicycle for about a mile thru Walnut Creek Linear Trail until you officially enter Oliver Nature Park. During the beginning of Spring, the park is filled with beautiful Bluebonnets. Great photo opportunity to get the flowers in the background, just please don't step on them to get closer to these beauties so more people can enjoy the view too. There are benches throughout the whole park. I wouldn't really suggest to use them during this time unless you come packing with....sanitized wipes of course lol.

There is foam matting to break falls (because we know they will happen), there's bench tables as well as other places to sit. I liked that the park was set up for different ages and was inclusive, however we apparently went on a day when most kids were out of school so there were times that the big kids were running around and almost knocking over the little kids or big kids playing in areas that are intended for smaller kids. Would we go back? The kids loved it and said they had fun and want to go back so that's what really matters.

My then-7 y/o son was able to climb 8 feet up a structure for its intended use and jump off "on a dare" by other kids and ended up in the ER. I've also assisted with autistic children that elope and get separated due to the multiple exits. There are also multiple places to have a party, first come first served. This also makes things extra crowded. I haven't been there in a while since the heat, but I am hoping they will maintain a good-sized field because independent play (soccer, football, kite flying, etc.) are just as important as playground structures.

There's an older kid side as well as a younger kid side and we've explored both while here. The couple of times we've visited during the daytime, it's never too crowded, which I like. We came for an evening play date once and there were certainly a lot more people, but my son still got to get on what he wanted without a wait. The park also has nice sand volleyball courts, basketball courts a small running trail and a nice sized little fishing pond. One of the best things is that the bathrooms are located in the center of everything so there's easy access and they are typically pretty clean as far as park bathrooms go. Definitely one of my favorites !

There are multiple activities to do at this park for a fun experience. They offer a children's playground with slides and swings as well as a playground for the smaller kids. They also have tennis courts and a sand volleyball court too!. There is a small fishing pond here with a pier where you can try your luck and cast your line. There are multiple pavilllions with BBQ grills scattered all throughout the park. In the park, they have a small skatepark where you can practice your latest tricks on your skateboard or roller blades. There is also a splash pad here too that is open to the public during the summer months. They provide a parking lot here with ample parking, so parking should never be an issue. This is a great park to get outside and get some vitamin D, whether you're taking a walk or just letting the kids get loose. When planning a birthday party here, reservations are not required, but is a first come, first serve basis. They have a bulletin board here where you can check out the latest events the city has planned for upcoming events and any questions or concerns you may have with Mansfield City Parks.

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!

There are also multiple BBQ grills at this location as well. They have 2 children's playgrounds with slides and swings. This park also connects to the Walnut Creek Linear trail that goes all throughout the city of Mansfield City Parks. On the trail, there are plenty of picnic tables with benches sitting underneath trees that provide plenty of shade. There are also many of Texas's state flowers, the beautiful blubonnet, as well as the state tree, the pecan tree all throughout the park. Over this is such a great park to spend your precious off time whether you're looking to let the kids loose and play on the playground or maybe get a nice run/ walk on the trails or even maybe ride your bike. There are restrooms on site, and your furry friends are allowed as long as they are leashed.

There's a really nice mix of easy and more difficult trails with good inclines as well as trails with lots of shade and others with lots of sun.

There's a small park, picnic tables, lots of shade, ducks roaming and you can go fishing or canoeing in the Lake. The crowd is filled with a mixture of everything. Families grilling, dogs all around, teens hanging, families playing volleyball, people witnessing. Lots of fishing going on. Summer time was definitely alive. The crowd stays all the way til dusk too. Also, they have really nice restrooms! It's a big brick building that has the Men's and Women's Restrooms beside each other. The Women's Rest Room was clean but, a little stuffy. There were two stalls. One was small and a little messy and the other was large without a door? Soap dispenser was filled and hot water was available too! My one suggestion would be, the path should lead to the R.R, instead of having to walk through the grass. The trails were alot smaller than I expected. They we're simple and surrounded the lake. The Park is also secured by the Police. If your family member has not returned from the lake after dusk, for more than forty-five minutes. The police will go looking for them. If your looking for a place for a family outing, I would suggest coming here. It's fun and safe!

Parking is relatively easy due to the large parking lot that is provided. The park is easy access from the freeway as well or from entering one of the many shopping centers in the area. They have a gazebo that provides seats with many benches and tables that are shaded. There are also 4 baseball fields nearby where you can play a quick game of baseball, softball, or maybe even kickball! There are restrooms, BBQ grills,picnic areas, and more. This park also connects to the Walnut Creek linear trail and leads to many of Mansfield City Parks in the area. This park has trails and a map of where the trails go to at the front of the park. They have landmark numbers all throughout the trails just in case an emergency or accident happens on your adventure. The cool thing about this park is that there are trails that lead under the freeway when crossing through, and I find that amusing. Dogs and pets are allowed but must be on a leash at all times when visiting. Overall, this park is great for anyone who enjoys the great outdoors and likes nature. This would be a great park to host birthdays and other special events for family fun.
