I was in town visiting family and needed a place to run. There was only one review on Yelp so I was…read morea little skeptical. To my surprise the park is really clean. There are nice trails to run on and lots of trees. It was not crowded but there was enough foot traffic to feel safe. Also to note, there are 3 kiddie park areas. Two on the side with the trails and another across the street. If you're into tennis and basketball they have courts as well. There's also a creek with fish although, I'm not sure if you're allowed to fish there. Last but not least, there is ample parking. Enjoy!!

They are in excellent condition. There is a big multi-use open space that would be good for ball games or perhaps flying a kite. Does the wind ever stop blowing here?

The Armory was one of the homes of the Texas' 49th Armored Division which was one of the National Guard units activated during the Berlin Wall Crisis. The two M48 tanks out front are a reminder of those times. The park has some of the best yellow cat fishing anywhere along the Trinity. The small dam generally has at least one or two fishermen there trying to coax a few catfish into their ice chests. A ramp was recently placed to allow paddlers a way in and out of the gently flowing river. The nearby LB Houston Bike Trail and lots of other places to fish, wander and picnic make this park a secret gem. The spring wildflowers are very picturesque.

This is a park that should get more attention, if for nothing more than its size and location. It…read morehappens to be close to Northwest Highway, 114, Loop 12, and Riverside Dr in Irving, making it VERY accessible. The area is significant as this was a low point in the river before the Trinity River's flooding was tamed, thus it allowed others from the Dallas area and villages to cross the river... ostensibly on their way to California :) There's 2 sections to the park with California Crossing Rd dividing the two. Together, it's 490 acres of park on the border between Irving and Dallas. The southern part is small encompassing the southern trailhead for the North segment of Campion Trail. It has benches and a portapotty. There's parking (not much, about 10 spaces) and the entrace is right off of Riverside. The other part is larger with more wide open spaces, with the LB Houston bike and hike trail across California Crossing Rd. I don't recall seeing a water fountain at this park which is unusual as a trailhead park.

The pictures in the review are misleading…read more The park is pretty dirty and overgrown. And there are limited signs so it took awhile to even find the lake. And the lake is disgusting. Stinks. It looks like several things are new: like the basketball court and playground. But the surrounding areas are absolutely neglected. Not the park for a peaceful walk.
