Tammie was amazing. She goes above and beyond to help you feel comfortable and at ease. The facility itself is top tier and the staff are extremely friendly. My daughter used to be afraid and nervous to go to the dentist now she actually likes it. Tammie is the one who made her feel comfortable and relaxed. Highly recommend

This is a really a nice park it's in Arlington off of brown boulevard and it's a short walk unless you take the off path trails it's not a bad climb at all is all dirt and gravel there's a lot of bridges not much water in there not like it used to be but I'm assuming it's because he rain total is low but is a good place to go and you can see a lot of nice things and there's actually you can find gems in there it's a nice park

The name pretty much sums it up, there are actual small fragments of crystal scattered throughout the park so you can pick them up as you walk. You can even dig some and find some huge ones buried by the red hill. The park itself is about 15-20 mins long. Great for a nice brisk walk.

Pretty Okay

It sucks that people litter so much here!! It's a beautiful natural park with one large main trail and lots of smaller winding trails through the creek beds and over rock formations. Mostly shaded and far enough away from traffic that all …

How deep is the canyon

Noah Luck | Nov 4, 2020
JohnHenry | Nov 5, 2020

It's not going to give you much of a "canyon" experience. The parking lot is at the bottom and the path is heavily wooded. You'd be hard pressed to realize you are in a canyon while walking around. I grew up in Arlington and moved back when I had a kid to raise. I've always though of the spot as more bottom of a hill than canyon. It is a great little nature walk though.

Hello there, you have such a beautiful park. I am wondering if I can practice my archery in an area that other oeople are not around? Its a recurve 50lb bow. I have a target and am very responsible.

I don't think the city monitors these questions because the website is owned by Google. The city parks department website is naturallyfun.org
