The added gravel path is nice for those that can't manage the tougher, longer trails. The nature is just absolutely wonderful here. I see deer, birds, butterflies, moths, and bees among other animals. The trails are always well-maintained and CWPD is quick to fix anything that isn't. I love that it's connected to Forest Field too for additional trails and amenities. They do have an indoor bathroom at Smith house. They also have added a really nice picnic shelter with durable picnic tables.

Nice paved trail(s) along with several spots "off the beaten path" that lead to a stream/creek path. I didn't have a lot of time to explore, but there's a beautiful old barn, ample parking, a nature center, picnic tables, a small "natural" play area, and VERY clean restroom facilities. I loved all the wild flowers along the paved trail. Wonderful neighborhood resource for a quick natural "getaway," or to stay longer and "forget about life for a while..."

CWPD has done an amazing job updating this park. The Kennard Nature Nook side has a great big…read moreparking lot now with a paved path that connects to the trails. The nature playground is great and quite imaginative. It could use maybe a little update or addition since nothing has really changed since it opened. There are bathrooms, which is nice. The trails are marked better now then in the past. I run here pretty frequently and it's improved since I started. There is also a bridge that connects the playground at Grant Trails park. The Normandy entrance is great, but limited parking when school is in session. There is a nice new bridge to connect you to the rest of the park now. The creek is easy to access on that side though. Lots of great creeking opportunities and options. Just all around a great park to explore. CWPD just keeps knocking it out of the park with their improvements.

Shady and cool, in spite of the humid weather, and the best-marked trails I've seen at any of the Metro Parks I've visited so far!! I took the orange and blue trails, and even with my lousy sense of direction, I never got lost once!! Be sure to see the Three Sisters (now only two...) 550 year old white oaks on the orange trail, and the beautiful Orange Osage Tunnel, a real gem. Can't wait to check them both out in the fall!! Worth a visit... A true gem in the Five Rivers crown!!

So have to grab the moments before it hits. This day was a wind storm right before the bitter cold was back. I walked around and even walked the trails with a friend. So good to be outside. The flowers were lovely but the wind was fierce. This park does such a great job keeping everything lovely which I so appreciate and its a fav of mine for years. So many special memories here. Please be courteous and dont pick the flowers. This isn't your yard and if everyone picked just one there would be none for the next to enjoy. I saw parents promoting their children to pick flowers and filming it. . This is so selfish and rude. Am I wrong?

We tried to visit the other day and it was closed again for repairs. Its such a peaceful place to just listen to the water, sit on the bridge and people watch or explore the hiking trails and let the kids burn off some energy. The trails also connect to the fossil fields and if you cross the street, it will lead you to the lake. Their are parts of the park that allow for wheelchair use, but the main hiking tails are mostly gravel. Its a very busy park, so no need to worry about it being too secluded or not safe. Word to the wise...the restrooms have been closed since the pandemic, so prepare to go before or practice safe measures when finding a secluded tree. Lol.

Just be aware: The trails are moderate and there are some pretty steep spots. It is good for families with older kids, and pets - yay!! but not stroller friendly. I definitely recommend wearing good hiking shoes or boots to have a better grip on the ground. . The park itself is just beautiful. Lots of woodlands that let you recharge your soul. Benches along the trail invite for a break or to soak in the beautiful scenery.

Ok had been back to these trails in years and decided to do 2 trails the red and the blue both were…read morearound a mile each. It had been dry so didn't have to worry about mud and it had been cool lately so was hoping the bugs weren't a problem. So doused myself in bug repellent and headed out on my own to get some steps in. love walking in nature. I took pics of the trail map and color of the trail i was doing so I didn't get lost ... at least that was my goal. I did the red and then the blue. both trails were harder than I was looking for. The hills were steep and slippery .. plus rock and roots to stumble on. a few areas were so steep I had to find branches to make myself a walking stick. but the blue trail was a hot mess. so over grown and trees down. At one point it just ended .. the trail led to a lot of brush I ended up walking in the woods in areas that didn't look like a trail. alot was so over grown and they obviously aren't clearing this area and no one is going on the blue trail. Then I get to the parking lot and see the same colors I'd been on in the area near the overlook ... which I'd never been to. So is that different trails with the same colors .... I'm not sure. I followed the signs for blue and red and neither took me to this. I def wont return alone. there were several times I slipped and stumbled and it was scary especially alone. I made it out without falling and lived to hike again somewhere else another day. There was a guy in his truck when I started and the same guy was sitting there when I went to my car .. found that creepy and weird. It was 80 plus degrees why just sit there alone ... odd. park staff should clear the blue trail ... it's a hazard

As we walked into one part, it felt like and enchanted forest, as we walked, my friend spotted a rose, a yellow rose. Not a plant but a long stem rose laying on a log. As we continued, she saw another and another. 3 long stem roses were placed in the holes of one huge hollow tree. And theres more! We saw a total of 13 long stem roses, strategically placed. Some right off the trail, others had to step into the brush. To whoever placed them, know they were seen by us, and it made for a great day. I asked a couple people if they saw them, only one person saw 1. So we stopped and observed others as they walked by. No one noticed them. 2 fold observation. People need to be more aware of there surroundings and maybe Stop and smell the roses, Pun intended. It was a great hike and is now the favorite of all the parks we have been to,
