Great place to walk around, drive or cycle through. Some roads are narrow and one way so drive slow and use caution. We really enjoy the natural beauty of this park. If you see anyone vandalizing anything in the park please report them. This is a privilege that can easily be taken away due to irresponsible behavior and actions. As a local that enjoys the outdoors, we always clean up after ourselves. Please do the same, so we can all continue to enjoy this park for many years to come.

There are no swings, slides, etc. There is a pavillion and picnic tables. You can also bring your own fold up chairs. There are paved and unpaved trails, both walking and driving trails. There is a small creek, with a wooden bridge. Its a peaceful place for a walk or a picnic.

Beautiful, green lots of trees paths and bridges. Hard to get a good breeze at the pavilion. Watch for those one way signs. Lol. Good time family gathering. Bathrooms are closed.

It was a nice place to visit. It would be great when the Dogwoods are in bloom or in the fall when the leaves start changing.

Remote, natural area, needs some more road work as there were lots of potholes that need attention.

Its a neat park with great hiking trails. It surprised us to find it here. There are no public restrooms (currently they are trying to fund them from the signage by the pavillion), the maps are a little confusing and not widely disseminated. The roads on the maps are marked as one ways, but no one follows the directions, and the paved roads are winding and if you do come head on with someone, its very hard to get around them.Overall, it was a great hike, beautiful scenery, and it has great potential. Just needs a little signage and restrooms and it will be top notch.

The Dogwood and Redbud trees are in bloom with perfect timing for the Dogwood Festival. The park hiking trail has been invaded by Fairys, but fear not, for they mean no harm to any living thing. Their tiny homes and gardens abound along the trail that wanders through the forest. If you take the path, be sure to have footwear appropriate to an unpaved hilly dirt trail with exposed roots.

Lots of room here to explore trails and enjoy nature. And dont drive in without having a few moments as the road is one way to get out and takes a moment or two to find the exit.

Beautiful park with gorgeous trees, particularly in the autumn and spring months. My only complaint is that there are no bike trails! Palestine is the least bike-friendly city Ive lived in and I think this would be a great place to add some trails.

We were there last week. Dogwoods were pretty sparse, frankly it was no big deal. Maybe we were there about two weeks to early. It’s a nice park but it didn’t strike us like a Dogwood Park.

A nice area that seems to become more popular with the locals as they discover the outdoors.

Nice local park my buddies and I hung out in to kill some time prior to heading out to the ranch we were hog hunting at.Quiet, wooded and secluded. Plenty of tables, shade and space for large groups of people.

Review №46

Pretty nice park for walking although they don’t have enough direction for following trails. The trail I️ followed forked a couple times and I️ was clueless as to where to turn. Eventually found my way back to the road but don’t make my mistake and go by yourself during the evening as it is pretty spooky!

This is a great place for anyone that likes nature. Its also great place for anyone looking to run or do any other kind of workout. There are hills to make a run challenging or flat pieces of land for a more traditional run route as well as places with grass to do other types of workouts or activities.

When To Visit: Late March, Early AprilDavey park is known for the dogwood trees, which bloom bright white flowers. The annual dogwood festival is held the last weekend of March and first weekend of April.The park is a nice place to walk, picnic or spend time outdoors year round, but is a draw for photographers and nature lovers during the peak spring flower season. Park is open to the public year round, no admission.A quick google search for Dogwood Trails Celebration will produce information about the upcoming years festival.

Its not a play ground its a large wooded area for driving hiking or biking if you have little ones make sure to bring an activity unless they enjoy looking at the trees. Its mostly empty not a busy place so the pavilion in the center is fun to let the kids play.
