It's pretty pretty here, very nature-y. Very "am I still in the mid-cities?" There's even steep…read morerocky hills (are they hills? Cliffs?) that make your park experience extra scenic. Tons of big gorgeous trees and plenty plush, green lawns for frolicking, a little babbling stream with a walking trail bridge that goes over it. Like a storybook, for real. Rickel Park has 1.5 miles of walking and jogging trails, a picnic area with tables, a couple pavilions, and a great playground that's relatively shaded. There's nothing particularly novel or modern going on here, but this park actually transports you out of suburbia for a second and into the woods. Especially if it's not too crowded. With the right weather it's honestly so peaceful and enjoyable and feels like you're on a little trip. Bring a picnic and play and hike and enjoy.

Quiet little roads where families can go picnic, walk,…read moredrive dirt bikes, and four wheelers, etc. Unfortunately, it gets such a low rating by me because the front gate is nearly impossible to consistently get through. The credit card machine frequently doesn't work, then it would only accept exact change of a five dollar bill, which is never received well by the machine. The amount of times that my family has driven here to try and go to the park only to have to return home because we could not gain entrance. Currently there are FIVE CARS all in line at the entrance trying to get it! The drivers are all out of their vehicles and very frustrated. Also, while there are a porta potties in many places, the only proper bathroom is at the entrance. The women's room door is broken, so you really just go to the restroom with the door wide open! All that to say, this is an amazing park that needs much better maintenance.

What a sad little park River Trails is…read more This park seems like this was an excuse to help real estate agents sell homes in the area "BTW, this home is only a few blocks away from a park and a school." I'm sum up this park real quick for you (if the pics don't do that for me). Besides the lone pavilion this park has very little shade (though in 30 years you might get some shade from the young trees planted out there). I felt hot out there and this was a nice 68-70 degree November day with a cool breeze. No playground area. A cement walking trail (around the perimeter of the park). (also little shade) Some picnic tables (some with grills). And parking is in the streets (I would recommend parking on San Joaquin Trail if you have a lot of vehicles to park) Thats it. Hopefully they will get around to developing this place a little better, (but aside from eating lunch at the pavilion and walking very early in the morning / evening) for now I say avoid it and go to a better park (Rosebud Park isn't very far from this place).

This is one of the better parks in Haltom City. It has…read moregreat play area for kids, huge lawn, softball/baseball/ soccer area, somewhat shaded parking (depends on the time of the day), a great walking/jogging area around the park, benches, picnic areas with grills and even a nice creek for kids and adults to explore and deep their toes. Lots of trees for those who seek shaded areas and lots of sunny areas for those who want some tan. The park is well maintained and always clean and the grass is cut on regular basis. If a storm rolls through and tree branches break, it doesn't take long for the city to take care of it. Did I mention that it's a great place to walk dogs? There is a public restroom building with separate areas for men and women, that is the area that needs the most attention and could use the help of the visitors to keep it cleanER. Considering that it's a public restroom no one should expect it be sparkling clean. It is clean (to a point) and stocked with toilet paper. The covered party area has electricity sockets for your music and whatever it is you might need to charge and garbage cans are available all around the park. Please use those. Come and enjoy whatever part of this park tickles your fancy but please, pick up after your dog and clean up your mess too, we love this park and would love to continue enjoying it as it is.

Far better park then Little Fossil Park (a couple of blocks away)…read more This seems to be a pretty popular park in the area. Most of the people tend to use it for the walkways around the perimeter of the park, and the playground/pavilion area. It hasn't escaped all graffiti, but it's a modest amount (and from what I saw, it wasn't vulgar). I only have two complaints. Why have the restrooms so far from the playground/pavilion area? I guess it was for public safety reasons, but it's a bit of a walk to it. And this place needs more parking areas (tiny, tiny parking lot). Other then that, I like this little park.

This park is so beautiful, we love walking to the pier and watching the tadpoles and fish swimming around. There's a long walking trail which we didn't get to walk all the way down today but we will have to make time for it. You can't go wrong no matter who he path you take, you will find picturesque scenes everywhere. In fact, there was a photo shoot taking place today while we were there. Relaxing pre-lunch outing, I'm sure we will be back again.

This is a beautiful park, in many ways far superior to the more popular Bob Eden park. The trails…read morefrom McCormick Park connect to those at Bob Eden (and Bear Creek) but this stretch of the trail is shadier and much more lush in foliage. It's a perfect walk for a hot summer morning. The park also boasts a pond with fishing pier and a very sweet little bird watching area, a nice gazebo, and a small (but fun) playground. The playground is FULLY SHADED by the mature trees surrounding it. The only negatives to McCormick park, so far as I can tell, are the absence of both a bathroom and clear trail maps. There is one map that gives an overview of how the main trail connects to the different parks, but I think there ought to be a more detailed trail map at every fork in the trail. And not having bathrooms is a serious drawback for people with kids. I pushed my luck too long this morning and my 2 year old peed her pants. Parks need bathrooms!
