Official listing

Best for hot days

Most of the paved walking paths have substantial tree cover, which reviewers consistently praised for managing heat.

Weekday visits are quieter

Reviewers noted the park is peaceful and low-traffic on weekdays, while Sundays can get crowded.

Avoid after heavy rain

The park floods easily and takes a long time to dry, making trails muddy or impassable for several days.

Plan a full day

The park is enormous with multiple playgrounds, miles of trails, picnic areas, and a science center.

Watch for wildlife

Bobcats, coyotes, and armadillos roam the trails, so keep children close and stay alert while walking.
