    Whether you're seeking excitement, rest, or a good time. This park essentially has everything. Contrary to previous reviews, this location is now truly stunning as you can see from the few photos provided. For anyone in the area, I sincerely recommend visiting this park. It has a very small, but thought-provoking, section that is fenced off for monarch butterflies. Once it is monarch season, this could potentially excite young children. In addition, if that doesn't excite the kids, I'm sure the water park will. It has two slides that may be frightening for the kids, but they may also be thrilling and it has a nice-sized pool. Only drawback, in my opinion, is that they only operate during the summer.(I believe) If all else fails, there is a small playground for children, as well as a park that can be reached by going off trail that has a much larger playground for children of all sizes. However, there is a tennis court, basketball court, and baseball field for the more sporty individuals, so if any of these sports are your thing, you can undoubtedly enjoy the space for your sport. Additionally, if you prefer playing indoor sports, there is a basketball court and an indoor gym that are available. However, accessing it does require payment. In my opinion, this park just has nice little additions like the vandalized tunnel and the Japanese garden for the benefit of everyone outside. If you're looking for great photo spots, there are a number of them in both of these tiny areas of the park, which each add their own vibe and flavor. You could easily spend an hour or two walking around the entire park if you truly take your time and appreciate everything it has to offer. It takes about half a mile to walk around the park on your own. Overall, the scenery is absolutely stunning. In addition to being a great place for a romantic date, it's also a great place to kill some time by strolling around. As previously stated, I'd recommend this park to anyone who is in the area. Absolutely stunning sights, and it was just a fun time.

    Family members moved into the nearby neighborhood & we all visited the park a few times. It is a good destination for a number of reasons: the Aquatic Center, with its large pool, pool slide, kiddie pools, etc was built only about two years ago (although the hours of swimming for the general public are NOT particularly inviting), there are resident ducks that bathe, wander, swim in and around the park's lake & flowing Kidd Springs, there is a tennis court, Japanese Garden that is presently under reconstruction so we could not enjoy that, there is a large rec center that offers classes, picnic tables, barbecue grills, &, at the 5th Street entrance, there is a large playground with toddler swings, climbing wall, etc. Since parts of the park are shaded, it is a good place to come, check out the ducks and cool off.

    This is a neat little park in Oakcliff, I did a 5k here, and I need to venture out to Oakcliff more. There are a ton of hidden gems here. The 5k started here, and there were FOOD trucks here, I LOVE FOOD TRUCKS! Too bad, all I got was a banana because I was about to run a 5k, if I had eaten anything from the food truck, I would have fallen asleep and missed the 5k. This is a cute park with plenty of parking around.

    Nice swimming pool for all ages. Has 2 slides, a lot of shaded areas to sit, kiddie pool area and cost $14 for 1 adult & 2 kids under 11. The only negatives I would mention is the young staff at the cashier window. We sat there staring at them for 2 minutes while they were texting in their phone instead of helping us. The other negative would be there are a lot of bees around. Other than that, it's a great place to cool off.

    Rain boots & umbrella.

    This multi purpose park is jam packed year round with family friendly events and activities. Kidd Spring Park features a local swimming pool, lake with wild water fowl, tennis court, playground with swings, benches, picnic tables, bbq grillers, gym, fitness room and activity center. And plenty of walking paths to enjoy the scenery all year round. My favorite event is the free Dallas Symphony Orchestra concert that performs every year. With half a dozen food trucks, local choir groups, and more. It is a classic to enjoy and support.

    Walked from the restaurant we were going to eat. Scary walk. U can tell this used to b great park. Needs some TLC.

    Lovely for a walk! Could spend an hour or so strolling and enjoying the scenario. Some shaded spots but really wouldn't rely on shade.

It's close to where I live, and I love having such a beautifully maintained green space nearby. There's lots of open lawn that would be perfect for a picnic or just soaking up some sunshine. It's dog-friendly (major points for that!), and I've consistently seen pet parents doing a great job cleaning up after their pups. Personally, I prefer this kind of open space over a traditional dog park--as long as your pup has excellent recall and listens well. Just a heads-up: Turtle Creek Blvd runs alongside the park and it's a busy street, so keep that in mind. One of my favorite things about this park is how it feels like a little escape from the hustle of the city. Maybe I've been lucky, but's it's never gotten overly busy during my visits. Whether you're walking your dog, taking a quiet stroll, or reading under a tree, it's just a nice vibe. Pro Tip: There is some street parking available, but only on certain sides depending on signage--so double-check before leaving your car. All in all, a relaxing and scenic spot in the heart of Dallas. Happy Exploring!

Though very small and delicate, this would the perfect place for photography, read a book, even perhaps some meditation. There is unique stones statues placed here from, Dragons, to gargoyles, angels. The trees are delicately placed, some I have never seen before with many beautiful colors and foliage. I loved it when I came to check it out, many much parking so you may get luck if there is not many people there, which usually there are for taking pictures. It is not a big place, it is very small, but enough to take a nice little stroll and enjoy for whomever made this place available to the public. Note - When we arrived there are sign's at the entrances that say, in order to enter this property you had to call a number that was on the sign and ask for permission first before entering. I did not call, and just walked around admiring the garden as many others did. Though, if you do plan on going, enter at your own risk ( You prob should call and ask for permission first). Sadly I did not take a picture of the sign. I was probably only there 15 minutes at the most to enjoy the whole garden. I'd love to go back with my camera to take some nice pictures sometime. Totally a nice little place to check out if you happen to be in this area.

    Great views of the Calatravas bridges and downtown! This…read moreimproved hiking and biking trail takes you past some of the most scenic parts of downtown Dallas. From the floodplain of the Trinity River, you can see all the bright lights of Big D. Downtown Dallas has two bridges designed by the internationally acclaimed architect, Santiago Calatravas. There's one at each end of the trail here. There's no restrooms here along this trail. No shade from trees. The area around the Trinity has been mowed to keep things visible, and a concrete path to follow. There's a map at the trail head that walks you through the features of the Trinity river valley. This place is generally pretty sketchy at night- there's a place you can pull off the road and park and make out or whatever those people are doing in their cars. It seems like a fantastic place to meet some shady characters late at night. I wouldn't hike past sundown. I went walking alone through the trail, and I'm pretty sure I made some of the other joggers uncomfortable when there was nobody else around... I'd have felt much more comfortable on a bike.

    From what I understand based on the trail maps, the Trinity Skyline trail itself is a little less…read morethan 5 mile loop, but it connects to another trail which could lengthen it. On our first trip out, we only walked the half mile leg of the trail between the Trinity Overlook and the Ronald Kirk Pedestrian Bridge. Street parking was easy at the Overlook. There weren't a lot of spaces but there also weren't a lot of cars. I think most people start from one of the other trailheads. The views from the overlook are nice, but not as nice as the views from the pedestrian bridge. It would probably be more exciting at night. From the overlook we descended down a steep hill to the trail. The path is a little rocky but still adequate for running, assuming you have good shoes. This definitely isn't a trail for you barefoot runners! I can't speak for the rest of it, but this portion of the trail was NOT LIT, so it wouldn't be an early morning or night run option without a flashlight (and a taser). It is roughly a flat half mile from the overlook to the bridge and it is beautiful. There are views of both the Margaret McDermott and Margaret Hunt Hill bridges, the Trinity River, and the Dallas Skyline. Walking the trail in early April, everything was vibrantly green and absolutely stunning. We hopped off the trail to walk down the Ronald Kirk pedestrian bridge. On a Friday mid morning in the midst of Coronavirus quarantine, the bridge was sparsely populated - just a few people here and there running, biking, or walking their dogs. I see from previous reviewers that it is normally quite lively, which will be a fun thing to go back and experience, but it was also nice to have the bridge mostly to ourselves and peacefully take in the 360 degree views. The Trinity Skyline trail and the Ronald Kirk Pedestrian bridge come together to make a true urban oasis. Go check it out!
