Little used until about 20 years ago it's now ringed with homes,hotels and soon high rises. The little lake that was, is fast becoming something we aren't used to in this area.

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.

Peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, put the phone away and enjoy some tranquility and a good walk. The park is made up of trails that are elevated and lower trails beneath for walking and jogging . The elevated trail is gravel but there are sidewalks for the lower level paths. You can see the Dallas skyline and variety of wildlife . Parking is ok, but could use some renovating . There are several ponds and a few resting areas. Not really shaded unless your under a bridge so not an ideal place when bad weather occurs . If you're new to Dallas or have never been, I highly suggest talking a stroll through this park.

The views are simply beautiful with the landscape mixed with the lake background making this an incredible park for walking/strolling around. You will also find nice viewings of the Dallas skyline due to the location of the park.

The best part is how quiet this place is in the mornings. I'm sure that will change with how nice the weather is getting. On weekends when I drive by, I do see all kind of people having picnics, walking their dogs, playing with their kids. All the things a good park should have. The sad part is how much trash is around the lake and in the water. Always leave a place better than you found it, especially nature, or it won't be around for all of us to enjoy.

It's a nice escape from the bustling downtown noise just on the other side of the streets.

Entering is as easy as scanning the QR code provided when entering the park and typing in your car license plate. As of June 2025, the entrance fee was $10, and this was on a weekend if that matters. Inside the park the car parking is very limited and to get a spot you either get lucky or just have to wait for other cars to leave. To prevent anyone trying to park illegal they positioned big rocks on the grass. There is a playground with swings and slides and multiple pavilions with shade. There is a small fishing pier and a beach like waterfront for swimming and fishing. We decided to try our luck and cast our rods out in the lake and surprisingly we caught a 3lb catfish within 10 minutes. We stayed about 2 hours and just got bites but nothing else. There are restrooms onsite and they have water fountains but when I was there, they were not working. There is a boat dock to release your boats and jet skis out in the water and while we were there, they had a good amount of people out in the water with their boats. Overall, we enjoyed our time here and will most likely return in the future for some fishing and hanging out with the family.
