Dana Peak Park offers many trails, lake side views with fishing, and places to park. The trails are…read moremarked for your reference. The trails are for hiking and bicycling. It is also dog friendly. Pretty much dirt trails, so after rains, it can get muddy, but we are in Texas, so that only happens occasionally. You can get several miles in on the various trails. Others are friendly and willing to point you in the right direction. I've been here a couple of times now and enjoyed both times. I do recommend hiking with someone else in case of emergencies. You never know when you might come across a snake, so be safe!

Why not hike on a Tuesday morning before the temperature rise to over 100 degrees? Dana Peak Park…read morehas become one of my favorite places to hike. The sunrises are beautiful. The atmosphere is peaceful and serene. There is something about walking through nature while deer frolic along side you.... It forces you to reflect on your life and others who may be or no longer may be in your life. There are many trails, waterfront views, and quietness! Go with a friend, go with a pet, or go alone, either way it's a great place to get fresh air, exercise and mental clarity.

BE SAFE, Ladies! There are men out there in Purser Harker Heights Park following women, taking…read morevideos (with phones & META AI Glasses), and trying to approach women. Asking personal questions like where do you live? Where do you work? Or even a small group standing on the middle of the sidewalk creating a chokepoint to force direct engagement. I know it takes courage and guts to approach a woman but ganging up on a woman making her feel uncomfortable is a, NO! There was a group of white males this summer (2025) peacocking in a family park with women and children, running with their shirts off. It's TX and the summers are brutally, hot but I have never seen men out there like that and approaching women inappropriately with their shirts off. That new sun will burn the skin off your back & chest without proper covering. They definitely were not US Army or military. Additionally, there is also a school aged little white boy on a scooter middle school aged out there with those men & women in the of the middle of the school day out taking photos and following. Seems like some kind of gang or scheme to monitor women & possibly harm or take advantage of women & young girls. Group of men and women posted in vehicles and in the park watching & lurking & following. They stage strategically and use the kid on the scooter as well to track & monitor. Just be careful, just got weirdo vibes out in the park over the last several months. I know the park can be a space to meet people but this gives off creep vibes and predators. I don't want to be driven off from my community park that I love, but I no longer feel safe. Find alternative locations to workout or walk your dog. BE SAFE! Get some bear or pepper spray!

There is a nice-sized children's play area, and there are two baseball fields for local games. The facilities in this park are up-to-date and clean.

Overall, you will find this park to be less crowded than some of the other area parks.

The "beach" is made up of large white limestone rocks which can make it tricky to set up for the day, but this is what keeps most other people out. :) Bring your own shade as there are NO large trees or shaded picnic areas. A beach umbrella can be set up near the water and a pop-up shade tent can be set up-at a level picnic table. There is a small, brick-sided restroom house on the premises. The best part about this park? IT'S FREE! There is no fee for using the lake area or the boat ramp. But, shhhhh! Don't tell everyone. :)

Yes I expected more based on previous pics and reviews. In a way expected little BUT it was sad :/ this place is neglected and there were like many missing structures so either they were taken away or stolen. The few that's here is pretty run down besides the ones in my pics. Glad we got here still light out because this whole area looks dead and creepy. No one around either. Only thing that was kinda worth it was this gray cat that was kinda cute who followed us around wanting to play and be scratched until he decided to not play anymore and bit my daughters hand lol Anyways these are 3 of the nicer sculptures. Others are pretty sad. And the place has trash all over the trail too and questionable items on the floors too. It would be so cool if they revamped it!
