Guide

Good to know

Good for a picnic
Picnic facilities on site — room to sit and eat near the play area.
Official listing
Best in spring for wildflowers
Visit April through May when bluebonnets and wildflower meadows are in bloom for the most scenic experience.
No traditional playground equipment
This is a nature park with hiking trails, not a play structure park, so bring kids who enjoy.
Arrive early on weekends
Parking fills up at sunset when families arrive for photos and evening walks, especially on nice days.
Excellent for hot summer days
The heavy tree cover keeps trails comfortable even at 90 degrees, making this ideal for walking when other.
Watch for loose dogs
Pet waste is occasionally left on trails despite trash cans provided, so watch where children step.
