It's nextdoor and I enjoy hiking there at least once a week. How wonderful to be able to live so in touch with the nature even though you're in the heart of a great city.

Can I fish here?

It's urban, and not sure licensing, so guess leave the critters alone, would not be safe to eat with pollution, and need all the help they can get, like city kids surviving...

Is there is biking trail

Marawan Basim | Sep 16, 2018
danceswithcars w | Sep 15, 2020

Yes and no, depends on weather, storms, etc. Parts washed out, again, since some other reviews. So entrance with wooden boardwalk, nope. Over stream with concrete blocked. Other parts might be ok, but at your own risk, and short distances, so may not help. If with a kid learning to ride, maybe ok, but commuting you'd be having problems, including safety, gangs, etc. And on off , detours, etc. UpStream in the network, concrete pilings to step on, maybe roll bike in polluted stinky water and what diseases do you die of if sewage and fall/ step in???

Do they have a parking space

Adama Samlaj | Sep 15, 2021
Lara Drizd | Sep 15, 2021

There is no specific parking area for the park, but you can park at the entrances at Glen Hills Park, along Chambliss Street on either side of Holmes Run, or along Sanger Ave. You might find parking at the Ford Nature Center but there may be special requirements to park in this lot.

How many miles of trails? Expect it’s rated “easy” for walking with family and leashed dog?

Rob Novak | Sep 15, 2021
Erin Hogan | Sep 15, 2021

Not sure about the miles but there is a paved trail that is great for stroller. There are also lots of clearly marked trails through the woods that would be good and easy for dog and family

Is there a parking area in the park other than street parking which is impossible by the entrance. Any other entrance other than singer t.?

Malek Zaarour | Sep 15, 2021
Jackie Beckwith | Sep 15, 2021

Yep! Navigate to the Dora Kelley Nature Center, which is behind the elementary school. There is a public parking lot with stairs leading to the trail

Entrance is free?

mayra ibanez catalan | Sep 15, 2020
