Great park since highschool and great trail system, for walking, hiking, riding bikes on concrete or dirt trails. Great for family

That is definitely one of the nicer parts in the area. There's so much to see and trails to walk. It's quite enjoyable spending a day out there.

Exceptional park for many activities. It's probably the best one in Arlington. I've seen wedding photography, family gatherings and sports games, and much more. However, at night, it lives up to its "haunted" reputation. Whether anyone believes this or not, I've seen what appeared to be a large ape like creature traveling from tree to tree. It could have very well been a man since illegal bird traps have been found here.

Great place to cycle, jog or walk. Has a few miles so you won't get bored. Just stay away from the trails in the open due to owners not picking up dog feces, it's everywhere next to the sidewalk. Just stick to the trails in the woods.

Questions & Answers

Is it safe to ride bicycles with my kids?

Socorro Salinas | Oct 28, 2019
Lisa Dove | Oct 28, 2019

The bobcats usually mind their business and are really no harm. I've rode past them many times and they keep walking in the direction they were going. I've only seen little small snakes .. nothing huge. Totally safe for kids! 😉

Can you go fishing?

Yenny Mori | Oct 27, 2020
Charles Edwards | Oct 27, 2020

I would not fish in the Trinity River because it's been know to not safe to be in contact to your skin post on the sign for kayaking and it goes through fort Worth and past two city dumps and the the Arlington sewage plan. If looking for good fishing most of the lakes in Texas are a good place to start.

Do you had to pay to fish

Asmr Foodlove | Oct 27, 2020
Brunzwick | Oct 27, 2020

There is no charge to fish the river, but you will need to have a valid fishing license. https://tpwd.texas.gov/fishboat/boat/paddlingtrails/inland/arlington_riverlegacyparks/ Also, do not eat any fish you catch from the Trinity. It will probably make you sick if you do, as they contain high levels of PCBs. You can see the advisory below: https://dshscpd.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0d443c1940ba4240923a46dfa08f0289

Parking is easy to find both places but the bike trails have much more parking options.
