    Never realized there were slight hills in Texas... This is a great escape from Dallas. Scenic, well-maintained, green, and a nice place to train, bike, run or walk your boyfriend. I'm going to make coming here a regular occurrence.

    It's repaired and fully open! Come celebrate with me tomorrow.

    Update 3/6/2017 : Sam Houston Trail Park is once again fully open. Irving Parks Department has been busy renovating this park since it was previously severely damaged by past flooding. It's been re-engineered and looks great! You can now access the entire park again. This is another great park along Campion Trail. It's at the north end, nearest to Valley Ranch. There is plenty of parking. It's made of two loops connected by a section of the trail that runs along the river. The south end of the park is bordered by the Elm Fork of the Trinity River, and on the other side of the river is TW Richardson Grove. It has a large wide-open space and is the site of Wednesdy Night Cross, WNX for the cyclocross racers. The large open area is great for flying kites, drones, or RC planes or cars. There is a large portapotty, a water fountain, a couple of grills, a couple of tables, and a couple of benches. I've seen armadillos and copperheads as well as several different species of birds

    Look, Dallas is not known for its forests, but this is a really nice and well maintained paved trail. It's the closest thing I've found in the Irving area to a paved and shaded jogging trail with some visual interest (water, trees, etc.). The trees have no leaves for a good part o the year because...you know, Texas. I've jogged this alone and with my 6 yo on his bike, and I enjoy it. It's wide, smooth, relatively flat, and feels very safe. The mile markers are nice and there are a couple route options. There are benches every quarter mike or so. Recently I've seen rental bikes at the two major entrances. I've never seen any wildlife before, but today (in January) we saw two armadillos. Super odd bc I've never seen an armadillo in the DFW area at all in 20+ years. But there they were, right by the trail, minding their own business and rooting around in the leaves. It was interesting just because it was unusual. Great path for walking, jogging, or biking. Lots of parking and open field at the entrance.

    i frequent this park. its a safe good place for biking or running. Walking has become more difficult with the number of bikers on the trail these days. Bikers are not always as accommodating to the walkers as they should be. Prior to all the flooding, the park was clean and well kept. Since they reopened in September there is an odor and I've noticed an abundance of wildlife. I know that they are working on cleaning the park up so i dont think this will continue to be a problem. Overall i really like these trails (despite the rude bikers and family of armadillos). They have large concrete paths, benches for resting, views of water, a water fountain and a toilet. Parking is never a problem.

    Beautiful trail from Las Colinas to Valley Ranch, Irving. I try to visit this trail atleast once a week for 6-7 miles bike ride.. Apparently the trail is half closed and I'm waiting for them to open it.. Well this trail is connected with another trail called Campions Trail.. So both the trails are actually same (unless I'm wrong).. Pros- 1) Best part about this trail is that it is not crowded and you will find friendly people on the trail.. 2) You will pass thru huge trees, trinity river, and a sunset view along a small canal.. 3) Close to the highway and good availability of parking.. Cons: 1) Less water fountains on the trail.. I really miss water fountain if I'm out of water during the bike ride.. Worth visiting the trail for biking and running ..

    Good place to take the dogs and humans for exercise.

    It's a nice park for running and biking. Does anybody know if there's a parking lot around it?

    I googled good place for a sunrise near me, and this park did not disappoint! I found myself…read morestraight up birdwatching! I haven't seen a crane in a long time, and I saw 2! Great place for a morning walk and a sunrise to start the day off right.

    This is one of the most well-done parks in the area. I hope the Bedford Boys Ranch took note as…read morethey designed their $70 million renovation, but I'm not holding my breath. Andy Brown is a beautiful space, from the pond to the open fields, the sidewalk/bike path, multiple large pavilions, and fun playground. There are large, mature trees surrounding the park. We parked in the wrong lot and had to walk alongside the gym in order to get to the playground and I couldn't believe how beautiful the pathways were with all the trees and the small creek running alongside. Not what I expected from a city park! The playground itself ("Kid Country") is almost fully enclosed and is a sprawling assortment of things to climb up, swing on, and slide down. There is a play area in the toddler section with storefronts to spark pretend play. The ground is bark. There are large trees in the center of the play area that provide shade and make the play structure look more natural than your typical playground. Almost like a tree house. There are benches scattered throughout the play area and a large covered pavilion with multiple picnic tables underneath. The city of Coppell provides free WiFi there and there were multiple moms with laptops out, working, while their kids played. The only big negative is the distance from the playground to the bathroom. I understand that they probably built the bathrooms more toward the center of the park, but the wise choice would have been to also put an additional small restroom right next to the playground. It's too far of a walk for me to feel comfortable sending my younger kids over there alone and it's kind of a bummer to have to wrangle together the entire group every time one kid has to pee. Otherwise, a fabulous park. LOVE IT. Hats off to you, Coppell!
