Wonderful park for the whole family. It has soccer fields and places for kids to run, but at the same time it has lots of nature for everyone to explore. I hiked around and looked at nature for over 2 hours and barely scratched the surface if what the park has to offer. Will definitely return and I highly recommend!

I love their walking trail. There are covered areaswith tables, a playground, basketball court, baseball diamond, and soccer fields. If the leash law was enforced there and new distance markers put up, it would definitely be a 5 !!

Great trails and a nice creek. The ball fields are well maintained... The downside is that there is trash EVERYWHERE. There are also loose dogs that seem to live in the park.

Awesome park, huge wooded park with large creek running through it and if your not afraid to leave the cement trail and venture off on your own there is amazing wildlife(Ive actually seen a deer) in the forest.

Very clean, very nice, very respectable. I just wish part of our family that lives in Mesquite did not have to pay an extra out of town fee. If they live in immediate surrounding areas they should just pay regular admission price. They do shop and contribute to the Pleasant Grove/Dallas area so they do help in paying taxes. I think for two adults and one child they paid an extra $14. Thats just crazy, sad. Because of that they wont be back so youve lost customers there because of extra fee. Otherwise with their size of family they would have helped and would have come often.

I love this park is so big clean and green I love the trees how green and beautiful it has a soccer are basketball play ground , picnic are.the only thing I dont like it has a little dangerous are as your walking path is very close to the street so if you have kids just be very careful other then that. the place is beautiful perfect for family time the only think I dont like is how people have big pitbulls dogs that they cant handle and go to the kids play are other kids are scare there should be a sign no aloud big dogs in play are were kids are.️

We had a blast!! They had a kids area, a lazy river, 2 slides, they also have a pretty good size pool that goes to 12 ft includes a diving board and a rock climbing area. The restrooms work clean. They also have a concession stand. All in all it was a really nice place.

I love working out here but its a hit or miss with the crowd. Many do not know the stay/get to the right when theres someone on the opposite side and they take up the whole path. Mornings can be great and on not so warm days theres not a big crowd and nice shade.

One of my favorite parks, but to see the real park there you have to go off the cement trail, go back to the South West corner or the cement trail and as you walk towards the bridge, look to your right youll see a dirt path go down it and youll know right away why I love this place

The local wildlife should be better preserved and not have the stinch of sewer and trash from the city. I have found some interesting fossilized bone near the creek that I am having examined.

Love the trail, but once i went at night on my bike with my family and it was creepy, there were 2 guys and 1 woman who tried to block me from leaving from the bridge but i passed fast so nothing happened but it is creepy at night.... Trail is pretty heavy in the mornings..... Park is always packed so kids will fight smh...

Beautiful clean park with nice trail for biking or walking. There are also hiking trails if you are feeling adventurous. I noticed there are lots of dog walkers however there is no dog park so pets have to be leashed at all times.

Its long trail is very nice for jogging or walking with others. The fields are great for football and soccer. My issue however is that the park seems to need a bit of matinance and there arent any restrooms, other than the scattered port-a-pottys. It is otherwise a beautiful park.
