I can't believe my original post was 9 years ago. Of course, I still stand by what I said before…read morethat this park is amazing and dog-friendly. I will just give you the CliffNotes version in that the park is very clean - perfect for running/jogging, walking, and sitting around to enjoy the outdoors. Here's the new impression about how kid friendly it is. First off, I love their splash pad. The best part of it is it's free! We tend to go on cooler/cloudy days when the summer sun is not beating down on us. They have benches and tables for families to sit around the splash pad. You can't bring your pets or food to the area. After a lot of running and laughing, my son's eyes do get a little red from the chlorine, so wear glasses or goggles if you want to avoid this. Right next to the splash pad is the playground. I'm so glad that it is covered, so we can go when it's sunny outside, but not too hot. The playground is a good place for the kiddo to either warm up or cool down before the splash pad. I would say the splash pad is such a fun distraction that my son spends the majority of his time at the splash pad and the playground is just a second thought. It's never super crowded even on the weekends. Perfect amount of kids playing around. There's a nice private parking lot right next to the splash pad. I'll be back with the family again and again.

I didn't get too close to take pictures today because it was in use by two moms and their kids. Creepy single dude taking pictures, not a great look. There are several picnic tables scattered around and some charcoal grills, though they're mostly under the trees which will make for some interesting smoke situations. The best feature here is the walking trail that goes quite a distance and links up all the way across 35W to the top of the country club. Very, very cool.

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!

There's a neat little miniature train that has two depots in Forest Park- the ride is $4 for adults and a bit less for the kids. The track winds through several bridges and underneath overpasses for a 45-minute ride. There's one stop where you can stretch your legs, buy some popcorn or just stay put. It's a great ride for the kids (and others of all ages really). We spent some time visiting the park in mid-April and the weather was beautiful. Low 70 degree weather with a slight breeze, and the sun poking out of some clouds. The grounds were preparing for MayFest sometime later in April. Overall, this is just a great place with picnic areas, rolling grass areas, endless treelines, and several playground areas. There's ample parking but it can get a little ugly driving in or out of the area on certain times of the weekend, especially if there are events going on. You're really close to the Fort Worth Zoo as well- one of the best zoos I've attended. Have fun!
