    PSA: the iPhone map app location for this park is WRONG! It led us to a place miles away off the 121. The address on Yelp is correct. The big draw of this park is the beautiful paved trail. It is short and loops around on itself, but some areas are quite steep! I've gotten out of hill shape since moving to Texas and these would be a great way to train. The trails are shaded by the vast number of trees and they seem well maintained. The play structure is a little old and lacks the excitement that some newer, more creative parks in the area have. It is NOT SHADED and there are NO BATHROOMS. The kids still had fun, but I wouldn't drive there for the park - the trails are the main attraction.

    Lovely park! We headed out there on Monday morning and it was great. We saw a couple of guys go through the park and cleaned up. The park is super clean and many trials. It has uphill and downhill for anyone who would like to jog around there as well.

    Pretty views in mid-cities?!? Yes!

    Hill sprints!! Yes, if you want to get it in and get a great nature workout this for sure would be your spot. The park is great for some quick miles if you want to do some running or walking. As a distance runner I will say this probably would not be your spot for a long run per se, but it will get the job done. They have some spots throughout the trail that will surprise you with some crazy steep hills. I mean those hills truly knocked me off of my feet with how steep they were! There are also some views that will make you think for split second that you are not in DFW anymore. As far as parking goes there is plenty of spots and some pavilion areas if you are meeting up with family. I also probably would not venture out here after a certain time of day, it's not quite in the best of areas. But during the day, check it out for sure and bring friends to get a nice little workout in!

    Hey guess what! Klyde Warren Park is no the only park in Dallas/Ft. Worth!. I really like this place because it has a cool play area for the kids and paved walking/jogging trail that is big enough so that you don't get too bored quickly. They also have several picnic areas and open spaces to play. I have never seen this park overly crowded and appears to be very safe. In the summer there are plenty of paleteros to by ice cream from. good times.

    Great park for a quick walk, nice hills and flat areas. Small park with a playground too.

    This is a great park. It has s playground and picnic areas. The best part is the walking trails. It is my favorite walking area.

    5 miles of walking and jogging trails, a picnic area with tables, a couple pavilions, and a great playground that's relatively shaded.

    Still my most used stomping grounds even with all the construction in the area this remains a safe…read moreand serene place in those early morning walks, lined with wildflowers this time of year and the simmering of the water make for a pleasant and therapeutic walk.

    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.

    It's hard to give anything less than 5 stars to a FREE, CLEAN, indoor playground for kids…read more We do not attend this church (although, we have once, if only to experience the beautiful a cappella performance), which makes us all the more thankful that they open their doors to the public multiple times a week. There is plenty of seating for parents and clean restrooms nearby. There is a smaller, enclosed area for babies directly adjacent to the large indoor jungle gym. The playscape is located in the center of the church building. You can park at any entrance of the church in order to access the playscape. Just walk through the doors and toward the center. On a HOT Wednesday at 5pm, we were the only people there. There were a couple of people milling about the church, but not many, and if weren't for the hours being posted on the website I would have thought we made a mistake and showed up at closing. I seem to remember them having a cafe pre-COVID, but it was now closed (temporarily or permanently I'm not sure). I packed bagged dinners for my kids to eat in the car on the way there. I wrapped up a sandwich, chips, and a drink for my husband and I and we enjoyed a mini dinner date while the kids played. Fun for all!
