Grapevine Springs Preserve (or Grapevine Springs Park - I've seen it listed both ways) is a nice…read morepark with trails adjacent to the Coppell senior center and bordering Grapevine Creek. The green space is beautiful, with little rolling hills, a bridge, and grassy open areas. There are picnic tables and BBQs under the shade of trees. No play structure. Clean, new bathrooms on the back side of the senior center. The trails are short, but well maintained. My three year old had no problem navigating them. For the most part all of the paths are stroller friendly, but you will definitely need a jogger to get over some of the tree roots. My kids enjoyed hiking down off the trails to the creek and throwing rocks. By comparison to other creeks in the area, I think there was less trash in and around the water. We live by Little Bear Creek and this is a major problem. There are residential neighborhoods surrounding the trails but with so many trees, they only just slightly peek through. Overall, a nice little escape to nature right in suburbia.

Great place for picnic, nature, walk, or just a quiet moment. Such a lucky find and so much history.read more

A great place for an outdoor lunch break, some exercise, playtime, or family time. I am so thankful that Irving has such a beautiful park with such an intentionally inclusive design. I hope that some future maintenance or re-design might be in the works for the restrooms which do not have functioning facets at this time and feature only one metal, latrine-style toilet which isn't very user-friendly. Apart from that, this park features great design, landscaping and offerings that make you feel you've retreated from the city a bit. I've never visited in the evenings--only afternoons but it's been pretty peaceful in those times.

Campion Trails is a walking/biking trail that runs parallel to the Trinity River in Irving. It…read morestretches from Las Colinas all the way to Valley Ranch. For this review, I'm going to highlight all the areas where you can park and enter the trail. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Trail, Return) Atmosphere - The trail is a wonderful, well shaded path which is populated with a good mix of cyclists, runners, roller bladers, and even families. It's one of my favorite places in the city, because it takes you away from the concrete jungle and into a lush, green, natural hideaway. 2 Stars. Trail - Here are the trail entrances where you can park your car and enter into Campion Trails starting from North to South. Sam Houston Trail Park - 101 I-635, Irving, TX 75038. This entrance is at 161 and Valley View. It's a good location if you want to start north and go down. Also, it has the only outhouse (that I know of). I've never used it but just know it's there. TW Richardson Grove - 101 Lyndon B Johnson Fwy, Irving, TX 75063. Right off the exit for George Bush Hwy off I635, this area has a covered patio that's perfect for gatherings for picnics and cookouts. La Vallita Park - 1 Camino Rio, Irving, TX 75039. This park is in the La Villita neighborhood. It was two playgrounds for kids, lots of shade from trees, and a covered patio. Rio Vista Park - 2 Barcelona, Irving, TX 75039. Also located in La Villita. This park has a basketball court, playground, and a covered patio with grills. There are no parking lots, but you can park along Barcelona, Campion Trails Park - 5950 Riverside Dr, Irving, TX 75039. This parking lot is next to the Irving Police Station. Needless to say, it's safe to park your car here. Birds Fort Trail Park - 5756 Riverside Dr, Irving, TX 75039. This is the BEST entrance to Campion Trails. Not only is there plenty of parking, but there are several covered patios, and it overlooks the Trinity River. Paws Colinas Dog Park - 1300 California Crossing Rd, Irving, TX 75039. This is a great dog park. It's really not a place to park and enter Campion Trail, just know it connects. California Crossing Park - 5198 Riverside Dr, Irving, TX 75039. This is the end (or beginning) of Campion Trails. Start here if you want to start biking north towards Valley Ranch/Coppell. Let's go! 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. I live in La Villita so my entry way is through the two parks. I hope that after reading this review, you'll be inspired to check out one of my favorite trails in all of DFW. 1 Star.

As a Cali…read moregirl, I'm struggling out here not having real hiking trails with inclines that I'm used to, but I just have to find beauty in the differences, right? Nonetheless, this trail was indeed beautiful and unpredictable. Woodsy in some parts (great for bird watching), and open in others. You can find covered picnic areas and barbecue grills near the "park" area, making a great little spot for a family birthday party. I can envision the Peppa Pig and Paw Patrol balloons now. There were nice benches throughout, and different exercise stops where you could do pull ups or crunches mid-walk to mix up your workout, which was unique. Since I was flying solo, after walking a couple of miles, I eventually made a u-turn because I wasn't sure where the trail ended (even after looking at the map). I know it's no mall, but a "you are here" star somewhere on the map would have been helpful lol. I wasn't sure where I would end up if I kept walking, or if I would walk too far and end up not making it back to my car before dusk. Confession: I was low key following a guy who had arrived a few minutes before me and looked like he knew where he was going. Surprisingly, there weren't many people to choose from. Not sure if he noticed. Shhh! I enjoyed my refreshing outing and wouldn't mind exploring it further...with a buddy!

I saw this place on TT, and it said it had recently opened. But based on the still-covered sign,…read moreI'm not convinced it's officially in business. The bathroom sign says it opened in 2024, yet the bathrooms themselves were locked on a Sunday, which, to me, screams "soft launch." That said, it's a pretty spot! Everything is fresh and well-maintained (because, again, it's basically brand new). The only catch? There aren't that many trails yet. We did all of them in about 30 minutes, which felt more like a warm-up than an actual hike. But I did some digging (i.e., read the website) and saw they're planning to add more trails in the future, so I'll be back when there's more ground to cover. As always, we picked up any litter we saw--because, folks, we live in a society. If you're out in nature, pick up your trash! Better yet, don't litter in the first place. Teach your kids, your friends, your dog (okay, maybe not your dog). Only saw one other pair of hikers while we were there, so for now, this spot is a hidden gem. But once it officially opens (whenever that is), they're gonna need a bigger parking lot.

Today I took my kids through the trails in the park for the first time in over a decade and was nearly aghast at how much canopy the city has removed. It appears the 2019 creek stabilization project nearly ruined the pristine beauty of this park. I've attached satellite images of the park before and after the stabilization project, and you can see just how much canopy the city removed as part of the renovations. They have replaced what was a beautiful, rugged, meandering set of trails with a nearly straight shot through the park on the north edge, decimating the canopy in the process all for a boring, uninventive gravel path. It seems reasonable to expect that some amount of foliage would have to be cut back as part of the creek stabilization process, but what I'm seeing today seems excessive and like it was a stylistic choice to provide an inoffensive, plain suburban walking path through the park as part of the renovations. That would be fine if it hadn't nearly ruined the rugged, dense foliage that made the original trails and creek area an unheralded gem of Coppell. The good news is Hunterwood Park is undaunted and, despite the neutering, is still a great oasis in Coppell. I do fear for the upcoming additional stabilization efforts, though, and what some middle-management parks department bureaucrat might do to strip this park of its remaining majesty.
