There is foam matting to break falls (because we know they will happen), there's bench tables as well as other places to sit. I liked that the park was set up for different ages and was inclusive, however we apparently went on a day when most kids were out of school so there were times that the big kids were running around and almost knocking over the little kids or big kids playing in areas that are intended for smaller kids. Would we go back? The kids loved it and said they had fun and want to go back so that's what really matters.

My then-7 y/o son was able to climb 8 feet up a structure for its intended use and jump off "on a dare" by other kids and ended up in the ER. I've also assisted with autistic children that elope and get separated due to the multiple exits. There are also multiple places to have a party, first come first served. This also makes things extra crowded. I haven't been there in a while since the heat, but I am hoping they will maintain a good-sized field because independent play (soccer, football, kite flying, etc.) are just as important as playground structures.

There are activities for kids of all ages. It's clean and nicely maintained. Parking is not a problem and there are also benches and a nice shaded patio for people to bring food to eat here. This park is also next to tennis courts or pickleball courts and a water park. Only downside of this place is that it's next to the main street, so it can get noisy at times.

It's so nice to be surrounded by nature and to see such great views. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and maybe bring a hiking stick if you have an issue with balance, since there are lots of uneven paths and steps. Overall, it was a really nice park and we walked the entire area. Will definitely visit again!

Sadly no reviews at the time to match up with the park, but ladies and gents I present you the 2nd review to come up about place! (BTW: This isn't a park with swings and a playground) This is definitely a hidden gem in Irving! It's a really nice clean park (besides all the algae that grows in the lake and the trash that occasionally floats in the lake...) I even shot a spontaneous photoshoot at the park and it was awesome. The park also has seats lined up around the lake and even a small area with picnic tables for the few that like to stop by and munch on a bit of food. Awesome part is that if you're sweaty hot and aren't doing so hot in the Texas weather the library is actually only a 5 minute walking distance from the park and it's nice and clean and really cold in there. Overall, the park was really nice and we really enjoyed the scenery and the nice library nearby. It's definitely a park that I was surprised wasn't reviewed on Yelp.

I've heard rumors of it possibly being expanded on in the near future but don't know of any concrete details. Pros - Located next to Mountain Creek in Grand Prairie. The course itself has some small hills and decent walks. There is a great view of the lake, but water rarely comes into play (unless you've got some serious wind or just didn't throw the best shot). - The holes are wide open with very few obstacles, so it's a great place to really chunk some discs. - Usually there's not a whole bunch of traffic, especially in regards to other disc golfers. Occasionally there are parties in the pavilion on I believe it's the south side, but not on a regular basis. (Mostly if the weather is pleasant.) Cons - Only nine holes. Not a huge con because you can totally play the round again if you want to get 18 in. - I probably would not come to this park without my husband or some other friends. It's a little sketchy, if you catch my drift. Definitely not once the sun has set. :) - This is a big one and I almost forgot: no signage on the holes. The first time we came, fortunately a friend was familiar and showed us the way. However, I imagine there's a way to pull up the course map through DGCR or Udisc. Will definitely play again!

The best thing about Arlington is all the trees and hills. North Texas is mostly flat and DFW isn't known for its foliage, but there's quite a few spots in Arlington that really feel "far away." There's true hills and canyons and forests and creeks. You can be in the center of the metroplex and still feel lost in the woods. Crystal Canyon is such a spot. This park is so pretty. I appreciate all the little signs that explain the trail and history of the area. Crystal Canyon gets its name from all the crystals (gypsum) to be found in the vicinity, particularly the creek. There's a few beautiful bridges and benches. The hike is fairly short but super scenic and enjoyable.

Out of the four that piqued my interest, this one was first on the list. Looks like there were other trails branching off from the main one, but I stuck with the main walking path.

Irresponsible and narcissistic people. Boooo! The Nature preserve was well worth the time spent and effort to drive out here. Check it out!
