The single pickleball court is in excellent condition, practically brand new. The main feature of the park is a huge skate park area and I'm sorry that I don't really know the terms for the equipment but there is a decent amount of things to roll down, slide across and skate through. A picnic shelter with tables and a grill will definitely get some use. The entire park has a chain link fence around it to keep the little ones from wandering off and so you can see strangers approaching. Always a good thing. The park has a goodly number of trees for shade as it definitely tends to get hot in the summer in this part of Texas. [Review 16054 overall - 239 in Texas - 1559 of 2021.]

The park has a lighted full court basketball court, picnic tables, a splashpad (with seating for the adults) and a pretty amazing picnic shelter. There are three lighted baseball fields for amateur and tournament play. Large parking lot and a playground. Definitely a fan! [Review 16027 overall - 214 in Texas - 1532 of 2021.]

On Google maps it says that the park it's closed today Saturday but I came in and it's open…read more There's nothing special about this park. The grass and the plants look dry in gray But this is the closest one near me and I needed to walk my dog. I didn't walk my dog through the path because there is a snake warning. There's a basketball court, baseball court and a playground for kids, the parking lot has 2 sides, overall it's an ok park, it doesn't look well maintained to be honest the trailer park next door looks greener and more alive. Btw it's open from 5am to 11 PM.

There was a soccor field, play area for the kids, seating area in the shade, and so much more. What I really enjoyed were all the "In Memory" plaques near the benches and tables. If you have kids, this may be the best park to visit. Everything seemed well-maintained and clean. Overall, I made a wise choice on parks to visit today.

There's a large soccer goal, a small playground, picnic tables and a winding path that surrounds the park. There's also a free library. I forgot to mention there are benches along the way too. This park is very popular. Soccer practice is held here. Soccer Moms are waiting for their kids to finish, in their top of the line Suv's or cars. A few dog walkers and some kids at the playground. It's also great place for pictures and you can appreciation the artitecture of the homes too. Crowd is reserved and it would be nice if they had a porta potty. Area can be busy with traffic. I would definitely recommend this park.

It seems to have plenty of parking, a nice walking path with multiple workout sets up along the way (monkey bars, pull up bars, and a bench that I noticed), and sports options and kid friendly play areas. I even saw someone riding a horse while I was sitting at a bench enjoying my food; there are houses, some with barns with horses near the park. Overall, good experience. I would definitely recommend the park.

You'll walk through hundreds of trees, along a creek, past Hidden Creek Golf Course, under the freeway, through an open field with lots of wild flowers and birds, through a cemetery and an industrial area, winding through a residential neighborhood, more woods, and finally ending up at a kids playground on the other side. Dogs are welcome and cyclists will enjoy not fighting with cars for a while and both ends of the trail have bike lanes and parking lots. There are two water stations along the trail and one of them in the middle near the cemetery has water for your dog. There are distance markers at every quarter-mile to track your progress.

As usual, I didn't come prepared with anything more than one bottle of water. If you come out here, please bring a canteen or Camelbak. Anyway, I was very impressed with the city's investment in the area. The wildflower section was beautiful, and the trails were very well marked. In fact, I traversed the trails for about half an hour before walking back to the vehicle. There is a playground area for the children. I will most definitely come back out here again.

Tandy Hills is one of those hidden treasures in Fort Worth. You can see it from I-30, but you need…read moreto know what you're looking for and where. And you also need to know how to get there, it's not well advertised. And maybe it's a good thing that it's not well advertised. I'm a visitor, so I can't give a lot of info about usage. But it's hidden away, with no parking lot (lots of street parking), and a normal sign. I'd think that it's never too busy. "Natural area" describes land that has few improvements, just several trails and a few benches where there are good views. This is what you get at Tandy Hills. Having moved from the East Bay region of the SF Bay Area several years ago, this parkland reminds me of several regional parks, especially Carquinez Strait and Morgan Territory. Here's a big minus. This hidden treasure has other things that are hidden away: homeless encampments. When you explore off the established trail, and come across a weathered tent with a setup that makes it clear that someone has lived here for a while, that ruins the exploration. Reminds me too much of the rapidly-failing metro area I escaped from. Tandy Hills is a scenic place to get your exercise in and build some cardio going up and down the hills. If you're hosting a visitor who thinks that Texas is only cowboys, oil wells, and tumbleweeds, take them here.

Every time, I drive by here, I tell myself, I wanna walk over there. It looks so pretty and…read morepeaceful. One day, I became adventerous and hit the trails. Here's what I discovered. There's a limited amount of parking spaces. I encourage you to carpull, if you can. Water fountains are available for you and your dog. There's also an airpump station. It's really busy in the evening with families. There's a mixture of everything. Walkers, bikers and kids. The paths are pretty wide with uphill and downhill slopes. Depending on the route you take. It can lead you to a shopping and dinning experience. Theres two things I disliked about this area. Number one, there's lots of tiny gnats around that makes it uncomfortable. Number two, There was a horse poo on the side walk. I'm glad I got to venture out and enjoy the scenary. This area is nice for photography. I hope the next time I go the gnats and poo are gone.

This area starts off a nice, easy walk or hike along the Trinity Trails. The parking lot for it is…read moreimmediately before the Waterside development at Bryant Irvin and Arborlawn, with the lot actually being right off Bryant Irvin. I'm being so descriptive because google maps, waze, nor Siri herself was helpful in getting us here. You'd think as many times as I've been to the Whole Foods (at waterside development), I would have noticed it, but alas I did not. LOL! There's a decent sized parking lot here. If you are going to walk/bike/hike out far, you should download the free Trinity Trails app. It will help a lot with navigation and letting you know about the terrains of different parts of the trail. It was an absolutely gorgeous day when we were out. Surprisingly, this part of the trail was not packed. The few folks that were out were very friendly. I love it when "trail folk" acknowledge each other with friendly smiles and chitty chat. Almost everyone we came across had a cute dog on a leash. Folks out here were actually respecting leash laws. Presently, there is no shade along this part of the shade. That wasn't a problem this day because the weather is still cool, but I can definitely see it being an issue when our "beloved" Texas summer is in full swing. It's pretty cool that you can walk along this part of the trail and then head over to waterside for some food (there are some restaurants there besides the grocery store). See you on the trails!
