    Rock wall art
    Jasmine D.

    This is a great place to take cool pictures or complete an outdoor workout/ ride bikes. I didn't get to do much we were just site seeing but they have a really cool rock wall sculpture that you can climb. This place is also great for bike riding or just a mid day or morning jog. Cool place to just take a nice walk and enjoy the views of the buildings down town

    This was a nice little trail near our hotel in Dallas. Unfortunately I only got out on this trail one morning. What I was able to experience was very nice, but the trail was not as long as I had hoped. The direction I ran, the trail ended abruptly. A friend had run on the other end of the trail and had a similar experience. Maybe we missed something but it seemed like just when this trail was getting really good, it ended. Hopefully there are plans to expand it for the future. Good for a short run but had potential to be more.

    Popular spot for photo shoots! Lots of Quinceanera shoots the day we visited

    I chose this as a surprise birthday outing for my partner since we are both new to the area and had noticed the beautiful suspension bridge (Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge) nearby but had not yet gotten close to it or taken a walk on any of the nearby trails. I found the free parking lot and trailhead by happy-accident the week before while traveling to Oak Cliff and knew right away that it was going on the bucket list of things to do in the DFW! Our visit couldn't have been better timed than right after a full two weeks of rain, cold temps, and flood conditions. The sun was out, it reached 70 degrees, there were people of every age, size, shape, and color out enjoying a walk, public scooter, playground/climbing area, loungers, tables, or benches. There is so much to enjoy on the pedestrian-only (Ronald Kirk) bridge that is part of the Skyline Trail and presents incredible city-scapes and picture ops! Definitely a must-see and do in the DFW! I can't wait to return and take out-of-town guests!

    Very nice views with a great walking trail. Everytime I visit Dallas I have to stop by this place. Great seating to just sit down and read a book or look at the skyline. Very peaceful place. Beautiful at night and well lit. Will definitely be returning.

    The walk across the bridge

    The park has a very good skyline of downtown Dallas as you doing the Trinity River Walk area. They really make this park to be more family-oriented especially a bridge over walking from the Bishop Arts District area to downtown Dallas. If you're in the Dallas area this is something you should definitely take time to see and walk across good exercise. My wife says it's very romantic

    Biking with a view
    Ben E.

    Sky's the limit There is a new jogging/biking trail in town, and it just happens to have the best view of town. The Trinity Skyline Trail is a game changer! Finally, the area between the levees will become a recreational jewel instead of the neutral zone between affluent Dallas and the often forgotten other half. This trail is part of the new regional biking superhighway initiative that will connect downtown Dallas and downtown Ft. Worth. For the most part, the trail is still pretty bare bones. While some of the trails are brand new, it also connects to the older more delapidated Trammell Crow loop. There are a few broken sections and a lot of to be paved sections. There are only a handful of benches scattered throughout and no water fountains are to be found, so make sure to bring your own. The Trinity can be seen at several points, but a lot of the heavy brush hasn't been cleared out. Still, you can definitely see the endless potential for a majestic park if this space is properly developed. The views of downtown are great, as are the cow sculptures at Trammell Crow park. Once the Sylvan Avenue Bridge is completed, there will be two parking areas, but for the time being, park at the Continental Pedestrian Bridge Park. As long as the Trinity Toll Road stays dead, these empty river bottom fields will one day be the crown jewel of Dallas' Park system. Field of Dreams

    Trinity Skyline Trail is an excellent use of this public space! Beautiful nature scenery, wild flowers and the river, yet right in the city. Also features a bicycle tire fix it station- which is pretty cool. Neat, planned graffiti under the bridge and lots of turtles by the waste water pipe (I know, gross, but there were tons of turtles!) A great place to walk, run or bike. Plenty of benches to rest, if needed. Great parks in this city! Nice job planning this out to make good use of this space.

    Enjoyed it, great views, need to work on showing folks how to exit the park, though, thought i was going to have to retrace my steps to get to other side where i started, finally decided to make my way across the old bridge next to the new big white one, i thought i might still be in use, but they have turned it into a place for people to sit and exercise and such, some beautiful artwork underneath one of the bridges as well

    This is the kind of city planning that has me excited to be in Dallas. Amazing community building/community space built out of an old bridge (?). Playground, benches, tables, flower beds line the bridge all with a view of the larger bridge next to it and downtown skyline beyond. Would be nice two walk off a brunch from one of the Trinity Groves restaurants here or go after as a reward from a long walk.

    Ask the Community - Trinity Skyline Trail

    Would this be safe to run early morning like 5:30-6 by yourself?

    Personally, I don't recommend it. It's not a well maintained trail and it can be very quite. Not sure about how safe it is.

    What a treasure Klyde Warren Park is for Dallas! Opened in 2012 on a deck over a freeway, it now…read moreserves as a central hub of events for the downtown Dallas area. Today while I was at the park there was a vibrancy that was contagious. It brought the Chicago song, Saturday In The Park to mind, but I am still looking for the man selling Ice Cream! He is probably here, I just have not found him yet! Of course I have not made to the Food Truck section yet, and THAT is probably where he is at... So far I have seen people playing life-size Chess, kids playing in a dancing fountain, venders selling goods, authors selling books, people playing ping pong, and "a man playing guitar singing for us all!"

    Anything downtown I will always rate at least a star or 2 lower due to horrendous parking options…read more Park was pretty lively and full of activity though. I will say the playground's pretty chaotic at times. Bunch of brats unsupervised being annoying. Saw this kid helping her little sister up one of the climbing net structures with a slide midway up and the kid was telling another kid to move so her little sister can get by. Now I get it if the other kid was just parked there not moving but the kid was moving but maybe not at the pace the brat wanted. To me, seems like a you problem and someone didn't tell her the world didn't revolve around her and her little sister. Was at another part of the playground and noticed a mom suddenly started yelling obscenities because she lost her son. She was just sitting at a bench I guess closer to her other 2 kiddos. Um newsflash. If you can't handle 3 kids, your poor choices don't need to infect other people trying to enjoy their time there. She eventually found her son but yet another story of someone who thinks the world revolves around themselves.

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.

It's a great place to go for a walk in the woods with some elevation change up hills (don't expect mountains) that will provide some challenge without being defeating for those of any ability level. There are some pretty views, and you get the feeling of being out in nature and more connected with the earth. It's pretty crowded; on a Sunday at 8, I had to wait in a line to get in. Go early to secure a parking spot. They let people in as others leave, so the whole time you're there expect to see plenty of others out on the trail. No issues with bugs on March day. I especially love Cedar Ridge for trail running because it's challenging and perfect for training without destroying your legs. This is a hot spot for trail runners for sure. Definitely a must see for nature lovers in the DFW area. Temper your expectations if you've hiked out of state, but just remember it's really nice relative to more limited opportunities to "get outside" (in the words of REI) we have in this region.

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!

My last three trips were for this year's Memorial Day activities in support of Carry the Load. This park comes to a new life when there is a large event such as the very noble Carry the Load. Reverchon's beautiful greenery, powerful oaks and gentle rolling meadows are accented with the dark reddish sandstone walls and structures that soothes the soul. It is almost like a slice of Eden.To see this impressive park comfort those grieving as they remember the fallen military, police, fire and other first responders validates its role as a magnanimous friend. It fosters the catharsis and healing needed by many. The trip up and down from the Katy trail (which is high above) can be as challenging as you want to achieve and as beautiful as you want to view. I like the winding stone steps. There are observation terraces, conversation pits, and nature everywhere. It is shielded by quiet Dallas high rises just far enough away. The quiet serenity at night is in contrast to its vibrant life during the day. It retains the natural attraction whether it is a hand full of park goers to over ten thousand. It's great for the dogs, kids and oldtimers like me. There are some sport facilities for the team sport athletes. And of course there are the trails. There is a lack of immediate parking which I think helps retain its natural beauty . There are lots and streets to park if you decide not to go on foot. The adjoining recreation center has all you could want or need. The food and drink options are not too far away and some are world renown. If you need mental cleansing or some quiet reflection, Reverchon Park is the place to stroll.
