It's so nice to be surrounded by nature and to see such great views. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and maybe bring a hiking stick if you have an issue with balance, since there are lots of uneven paths and steps. Overall, it was a really nice park and we walked the entire area. Will definitely visit again!

Definitely it's a must try for outdoor enthusiasts. From outside it does not seem that there are…read morehiking trails but actually this park has 16 different hiking trails. I have been here multiple times but never experienced anything dangerous but just excited to see the sign. Good place to spend some time

Needed to take a mental health day, so I headed out onto the open road not really sure where I…read morewanted to go. Then I remembered to check out Tandy Hills Natural Area. As usual, I didn't come prepared with anything more than one bottle of water. If you come out here, please bring a canteen or Camelbak. Anyway, I was very impressed with the city's investment in the area. The wildflower section was beautiful, and the trails were very well marked. In fact, I traversed the trails for about half an hour before walking back to the vehicle. There is a playground area for the children. I will most definitely come back out here again.

Tandy Hills is one of those hidden treasures in Fort Worth. You can see it from I-30, but you need…read moreto know what you're looking for and where. And you also need to know how to get there, it's not well advertised. And maybe it's a good thing that it's not well advertised. I'm a visitor, so I can't give a lot of info about usage. But it's hidden away, with no parking lot (lots of street parking), and a normal sign. I'd think that it's never too busy. "Natural area" describes land that has few improvements, just several trails and a few benches where there are good views. This is what you get at Tandy Hills. Having moved from the East Bay region of the SF Bay Area several years ago, this parkland reminds me of several regional parks, especially Carquinez Strait and Morgan Territory. Here's a big minus. This hidden treasure has other things that are hidden away: homeless encampments. When you explore off the established trail, and come across a weathered tent with a setup that makes it clear that someone has lived here for a while, that ruins the exploration. Reminds me too much of the rapidly-failing metro area I escaped from. Tandy Hills is a scenic place to get your exercise in and build some cardio going up and down the hills. If you're hosting a visitor who thinks that Texas is only cowboys, oil wells, and tumbleweeds, take them here.

This is a really nice park! There's an area where you can actually play in the fields so bring your…read moredogs out so they can run around as long as they are nice and friendly. There's also an area where you can do hills for a workout, and a couple of trails that lead out various ways! Some of the trail is shaded and some there is no shade, so make sure to bring water and stay hydrated while walking, jogging or running! There are cyclists on the trail as well, so be mindful as you are out there to keep your ears open for when they come behind you. There is one restroom that is like an outhouse so make sure to use the restroom before you come, but if you want to use the porter potty there is one right when you enter the gate on the right hand side. This place is great to bring your family out to have a nice Picnic or just to take some nice photos as well. I love coming here. I do feel safe but when you come out here, please try to at least bring someone with you so that you have a partner as you work out. There's also wildlife out here please do not touch. There are signs out as to where the wildlife may be at so be mindful. And in the meantime, enjoy the atmosphere of being outside in the elements.

I've been wanting to come to this park for a very long time, and I brought my dog here on a weekday…read moreevening. It is right off the tollway, which made the park incredibly loud! I could barely hear my thoughts, so I definitely bring some earbuds or headphones if you come here for a walk/run. Not only that, it's busy and the park had a lot of mud due to poor drainage. I was disappointed with this place although it was so busy. Lastly, the park doesn't have good lighting for the nighttime so be careful and don't get too far from the parking lot after sunset.

I've heard rumors of it possibly being expanded on in the near future but don't know of any concrete details. Pros - Located next to Mountain Creek in Grand Prairie. The course itself has some small hills and decent walks. There is a great view of the lake, but water rarely comes into play (unless you've got some serious wind or just didn't throw the best shot). - The holes are wide open with very few obstacles, so it's a great place to really chunk some discs. - Usually there's not a whole bunch of traffic, especially in regards to other disc golfers. Occasionally there are parties in the pavilion on I believe it's the south side, but not on a regular basis. (Mostly if the weather is pleasant.) Cons - Only nine holes. Not a huge con because you can totally play the round again if you want to get 18 in. - I probably would not come to this park without my husband or some other friends. It's a little sketchy, if you catch my drift. Definitely not once the sun has set. :) - This is a big one and I almost forgot: no signage on the holes. The first time we came, fortunately a friend was familiar and showed us the way. However, I imagine there's a way to pull up the course map through DGCR or Udisc. Will definitely play again!

Every time, I drive by here, I tell myself, I wanna walk over there. It looks so pretty and…read morepeaceful. One day, I became adventerous and hit the trails. Here's what I discovered. There's a limited amount of parking spaces. I encourage you to carpull, if you can. Water fountains are available for you and your dog. There's also an airpump station. It's really busy in the evening with families. There's a mixture of everything. Walkers, bikers and kids. The paths are pretty wide with uphill and downhill slopes. Depending on the route you take. It can lead you to a shopping and dinning experience. Theres two things I disliked about this area. Number one, there's lots of tiny gnats around that makes it uncomfortable. Number two, There was a horse poo on the side walk. I'm glad I got to venture out and enjoy the scenary. This area is nice for photography. I hope the next time I go the gnats and poo are gone.

This area starts off a nice, easy walk or hike along the Trinity Trails. The parking lot for it is…read moreimmediately before the Waterside development at Bryant Irvin and Arborlawn, with the lot actually being right off Bryant Irvin. I'm being so descriptive because google maps, waze, nor Siri herself was helpful in getting us here. You'd think as many times as I've been to the Whole Foods (at waterside development), I would have noticed it, but alas I did not. LOL! There's a decent sized parking lot here. If you are going to walk/bike/hike out far, you should download the free Trinity Trails app. It will help a lot with navigation and letting you know about the terrains of different parts of the trail. It was an absolutely gorgeous day when we were out. Surprisingly, this part of the trail was not packed. The few folks that were out were very friendly. I love it when "trail folk" acknowledge each other with friendly smiles and chitty chat. Almost everyone we came across had a cute dog on a leash. Folks out here were actually respecting leash laws. Presently, there is no shade along this part of the shade. That wasn't a problem this day because the weather is still cool, but I can definitely see it being an issue when our "beloved" Texas summer is in full swing. It's pretty cool that you can walk along this part of the trail and then head over to waterside for some food (there are some restaurants there besides the grocery store). See you on the trails!

She also tried to kill me by forcing me up this very steep hill. All in all, it's a great place and I can't wait to return. This time of year is great for watching the sunset.

The trails are rocky & hilly, so if you are hiking, do so in good shoes. I kept slipping in my regular gym shoes, but it was pretty and fun. We didn't stay very long because we came during the latter part of the day. It was our first time here and since we are unfamiliar with the trails, we didn't want to get "lost."
