They have a big pond with ducks, geese, and turtles! They have a walking area around the pond that my kids love to run on. They would rather run this track then play on the play ground. Playground equipment is set to designated age limits, but kids don't care and do whatever they want. We went here Sunday and it was pretty busy. The busiest I have ever seen!! The kids love the ducks and it's rare seeing a turtle. Be careful for the geese though. Those suckers will come at you with their head cocked like Linda Blair from the exorcist.

The only drawback is I had to rent a campsite for the day in order to get a fire blazing. Kind of sucked since I wasn't planning on spending the night. Oh well! It was all still worth it as I supported nature and TPWD. The hiking trails were challenging and invigorating. Thankfully they were also very clearly marked. They were a challenge with all the natural rock and rock cliffs. Penitentiary Hollow was the main attraction of the hike. Wow, Lake Mineral Wells rocks with awesomeness! Please camp here!

I haven't seen may parks with such a concentration on climbing. It's genius. Several play spaces that separate small and big kids, permanent toilets and picnic benches are available. There is also a large open grassy field for sports. You will need to watch your kiddo's as the park has gates, but multiple entry/ exit points so be prepared to move around as kiddos explore.

There's places for the younger kids(babies/toddlers) and climbing areas for the older kids . There are plenty water fountains and benches for rest and relaxation . There is shaded areas for those extremely hot Texas days . Lots of open area for space to play catch . This is far from your ordinary park and you could easily spend over three hours here . Highly recommended and super close to the Epic area / waterpark.

I really appreciate the near 360° gate coverage that assures little kids can't wander off. However it is only 3 feet or so high so bigger kids hopped back and forth as needed to catch flying footballs. The single pavilion provides a shaded space for parents to relax or have a picnic but this area does fill up quickly and there wasn't much other shade mid day. Be advised there are no permanent restrooms. Although there are three port-a potties near the park. Recommend bringing any sanitation you may need as there was no soap and port-a potty situations are more challenging for small children.

A guy from my men's group told me about the walking bridge over the lake, and I included it on my bucket list. (That was a few months ago, which means it took me some time to finally get out here. Don't know what I was waiting for. Warmer weather?) I quickly parked and began the mile or so walk to the other end of the walking bridge. (Guessing two miles from start to finish.) Of course I took plenty of pictures. In addition, I sat down on one of the many benches to enjoy nature in solitude. This was my time of meditation to regroup from the many thoughts swirling around inside my head. There were also many other people, including families with children, and some who were fishing. Assume you can do that here. Anyway, I very much enjoyed my time out here and know you will too. There seemed to be a lot more to the park, but this adventure on the bridge was to satisfy my curiousity for now. Go check out the bridge, you will be able to reconnect with yourself through nature just like I did.

The park has water features (splash pad) and a playground for the kids to play. There are multiples chairs that are bolted to the ground, picnic tables, a pavilion, and plenty of parking. There is a nice public restroom and a nice field where kids can play catch or run around. We came around 6pm on a Friday and it wasn't too crowded. Can't wait to get back here before the summer ends!!

Quite a lot of activities for the kids to play on, use their imaginations and burn off some energy. It's standing on a soft mulch base so the less steady little ones won't scrape themselves when they inevitably fall down. And that's all good stuff! There is also a swing set, benches and picnic tables under a picnic shelter. The main feature for me was the walking track that looks two tenths of a mile around the park.

My friend and I enjoyed walking the overlook trail, including seeing the views of the lake. The weather was sunny and breezy and we got a good workout.

Eagle Mountain Park has great hiking trails along with some scenic views. One of the best features…read moreof this park is that it's pedestrian only and there are no bikes or dogs allowed. This makes for a great hiking experience. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge lover of dogs, but I love that this park is working to preserve the nature, plus some of the trails are steep and it would be heinous to make your dog venture up and down some of these more aggressive slopes. Nonetheless, I still saw two people bring their dogs out... some people simply have no regard for guidelines to protect the nature and not create an undue burden on your dog. Sigh. This is truly one of the best places in DFW if you are serious about hiking. There is a 500 feet elevation gain on the trail by the lake and this makes for great views and an easy way to get your heart rate up. There is ample parking and admission to the park is free. The only downside I would mention is the only restroom facilities are two port-o-potties and they were disgusting. One was out of toilet paper and there are no sinks to wash up. I don't know why people feel the need to make a bad situation worse by urinating all over the seat and trashing the facilities. Other than that, Eagle Mountain Park is a great choice for a semi-challenging hike site in DFW. The views are also a great reward for your efforts!

I can't believe my original post was 9 years ago. Of course, I still stand by what I said before…read morethat this park is amazing and dog-friendly. I will just give you the CliffNotes version in that the park is very clean - perfect for running/jogging, walking, and sitting around to enjoy the outdoors. Here's the new impression about how kid friendly it is. First off, I love their splash pad. The best part of it is it's free! We tend to go on cooler/cloudy days when the summer sun is not beating down on us. They have benches and tables for families to sit around the splash pad. You can't bring your pets or food to the area. After a lot of running and laughing, my son's eyes do get a little red from the chlorine, so wear glasses or goggles if you want to avoid this. Right next to the splash pad is the playground. I'm so glad that it is covered, so we can go when it's sunny outside, but not too hot. The playground is a good place for the kiddo to either warm up or cool down before the splash pad. I would say the splash pad is such a fun distraction that my son spends the majority of his time at the splash pad and the playground is just a second thought. It's never super crowded even on the weekends. Perfect amount of kids playing around. There's a nice private parking lot right next to the splash pad. I'll be back with the family again and again.
