We LOVE River legacy park! There’s everything here. They have lots of fields for a variety of sports activities. They have a fantastic themed play toy to climb on. Loads of picnic tables in and out of shade. Lots of grills for cooking. But the best part in our opinion are all of the wooded hiking trails, dirt trails for biking/hiking and paved trails as well…. miles and miles of them. We’ve seen loads of nature hanging out on the dirt trails and even armadillos on the busy paved paths. This park also has a little pond and a river. We’ve spent time catching and releasing minnows at the pond but never gone down to the river because of the steep high banks.
It is the best place near Arlington if you want a long cleanly maintained trail filled with wildlife(Bobcats, rabbits, armadillos, snakes, lots of different birds and insects)please don’t harm them. I willdefinitely suggest this place.I suggest this for any one who is looking for well maintained and safe road biking trail🚴🏻♂️. I am glad that I met some good people who have helped and encouraged me during my run 🏃🏻♂️ and cycling 🚴🏻♂️ routine.There are two points where you can see a beautiful sunset one somewhere near the 3.25 mile marker and one at 5.25 mile marker.This place has lots of safe place for kids to play around.Thanks for the efforts of the river legacy parks team for keeping it safe and clean place wildlife and people😊
Ive been riding the trails again for the first time in years at River legacy, and you can see where theyve made amazing improvements to the trail system, and even where there is still a little construction theyve created amazing woodland detour paths
Beautiful tree-lined riverside trails that give the sense of not being in the center of the busy Metroplex. The trails go on for several miles and offer great views of plants and animals. Great for bikes or walks. Highly recommended.
We have had a few family gatherings here and really enjoyed the walking trails. The bathrooms are kept clean. The park is really clean. Its really great to see people still enjoying the park with there kids and grandkids. Love it.
I have been going to this park for years.. However it wasnt until this year that I discovered more trails that were off the paved sidewalks. For someone who enjoys hiking this was a find in an urban setting. With gas prices as high as they are, going here makes me feel as if I am somewhere far away without having travelled far. Ive run into bunnies and an armadillo, found a swamp, and enjoyed the birds, as well as stumbled upon lizards mating. Ive yet to see wild hogs or more dangerous wildlife and not really wanting to stumble upon them on the trail, but being in this park has given me what Im needing in a hike. Most of the trails Ive done are flat tho, so if you want a challenge youd have to find a trail with more inclines. Its also easy to get lost in the trails so I recommend using a map, all trails app or some other method to keep track of where you are going.
Me and my family loves this park for all of our needs ❤️
Plenty of trails to go around for both hiking and mountain biking. Unfortunately the mountain bike trails were closed so had to resort to paved surfaces. Overall really nice location. Side note, bring mosquito spray as there are lots of them.
Great place to hike with kids. This park has a lot of trails. Pavement and dirt. There are several drop off areas right by the river so make sure you keep close to the little ones. The play equipment is really nice, however we only played once since we moved her in March and they have had the playground areas closed. When we first visited the had open restrooms and water fountains, but they have been closed due to the virus. We thoroughly enjoy this park for getting outside and being in nature. Make sure you bring mosquito spray and watch out for snakes. Earlier mornings and weekdays before lunch are the best time. The park is extremely busy on the weekend and weekday afternoons.
Nice tiny retreat into the woods with parking available. There is also a nature center on site. Please take your trash to the proper receptacles. Respect the wildlife too! Turtles, birds, squirrels, and reptiles are found here.
Love this place. Great for young children and adults to go on short nature walks and learn about local nature. People working there were super nice and well informed. Going in 2 weeks for the free composting class as well!!
I really enjoy the bike trail. Lots of hills and some jumps too! A great place to run also!
This is a huge and beautiful park, it has got little bit of everything and lots of huge green areas to do any kind of activity! It also has a pavilion and a Nature Center where you can bring your kids and have a great time doing cool activities (see pictures and video). It also has a beautiful running trail that goes into the little forest!! You spend a whole day here I love it!
What a park!Where do I start?First, its massive. If you like hiking or biking, youll love it. RLP has an 8-mile paved biking trail, not to mention the unpaved ones, which are webbed all over the park.It has a bit of everything; open fields, kids playgrounds, BBQ area, river (saw many kayakers), a pond, trees (more like a forest), calisthenics area, an event center, and abundant parking.Oh I almost forgot, theres a science center for kids under renovation at the time of writing.Moreover, its very well maintained. Its always clean, with countless trash cans spread around.Of course, with a park of this size and vegetation, youd expect a bit of wildlife. Ive seen raccoons and snakes, and other reviewers have reported seeing other animals. So, take necessary caution.Most importantly, it feels safe. I havent heard of any concerning incidents. Still, if youll venture into deep territory, be cautious.Weekends are usually busy for the obvious reasons. Nonetheless, there is still room for everyone.No, I have no qualms about this park.Enjoy!(Excuse the photos, was CLOUDY that day)
Great park with many areas and activities available. I ride the mountain bike trails and its a wonderful 10 mile loop suitable for beginners and families. Also has a more challenging section (EKG) for those with more skills. I think this is one of the nicest parks in Texas!
10 miles of dirt trails and over 17 miles of paved trails by the trinity river. Its beautiful park, some days you get to see bobcats strolling around the trail.
Wonderful park and trail system with a central location! From multiple playgrounds to various terrain for walking, picnics, etc., River Legacy Parks was actually rather impressive. I’m quite certain we’ll be back again before too long.
Beautiful. My family and I had a great time here we learned a lot from here.
Attended a special dedication to Mayor Jeff & Karen Williams from the River Legacy Foundation.Perfect place, if you love nature! Great learning environment for children and adults!
Big wide open grassy areas with picnic areas that can be reserved and kids play areas. The trails go for miles and is a great place to go run or bike.
Great park. Good playground. Plenty of benches and grilling areas. Pavilions that can be rented out for outdoor parties . Big spacious fields and great trails for bike riding ,roller skating , runs and walks with the family. Beware of wild animals that live in the park. Weve seen a bob cat, raccoon, armadillo, Wolf spider on some of our walks.
This is probably my favorite park to visit so far in the Tarrant county area. It has a larger walking trail and open fields for children to play sports or run away. Theres also an area where people can gather for cook outs or other celebrations.
Exceptional park for many activities. Its probably the best one in Arlington. Ive seen wedding photography, family gatherings and sports games, and much more. However, at night, it lives up to its haunted reputation. Whether anyone believes this or not, Ive seen what appeared to be a large ape like creature traveling from tree to tree. It could have very well been a man since illegal bird traps have been found here.
Great place for learning and exploring with the kids. We had a wonderful day biking some trails and playing at their wonderfully constructed playground! Love this place. Def coming back!
Amazing place to go if you need a quick escape to nature. Love coming here for biking, rollerblading, early morning yoga, walking my dog.. and just hiking around! The place has been around since I was a kid and has been maintained marvelously over the years! Family friendly, dog friendly, and very smooth, wide paved walkways for a wide range of activities!
My youngest daughter and I went on the walking trails in the evening. Been bringing my kids here for years! I told my daughter nocturnal animals and other critters come out right around dusk or at least when less people are around. Sure enough we heard coyotes on the other side of the river, a rabbit, thats what she thought she saw, it fast and pretty big, and a small snake crawling across the trail. Nice views of the river.
This is easily one of the best trails I been on. It is fairly easy to not lose track so you don’t have to wonder where you are without the map. It was muddy on some paths due to the rain a few days before but I had a great time. I look forward to revisiting this place to explore other nature spots.
This is the first park our family went to in Texas and still our kids’ favorite park. There are several play grounds, lots of open grass to run in, shaded picnic tables, a fishing pond, and extensive paved and unpaved walking trails. I love the big open feel this park has. Plenty of space for everyone.
Really nice park. Wish there were more bathrooms or better ways to get there from the back of the park without walking a mile or driving to it
This is the best park to bike ride! There is always something to do and I love that you never lack for space if you want to throw down a blanket and read!
Greetings Googilians !Actually found this park by mistake, however I was glad I did. The park has plenty of paths and trails. If you enjoy biking, hiking, walking, River Legacy Park has you coverd.
Love walking the trails and seeing nature at its finest, including bobcats, copperheads, armadillos, alligator gars swimming right in front of us, coyotes, ginormous alligator snapping turtles. Recommend any single person or couple to visit!
I went there with my friend and the place is awesome, you could trail,go to the playgroundand and so on the place is soo big and there was a water fountain, public restroom, and a ice cream truck they was a sidewalk for bikes and there was also a place you could do a party I recommend going here it so much fun 😀
Had our wedding ceremony here. It was inexpensive and beautiful.
Ive been going to this park since I was a child and I love going down the many trails. Everyone should be on the lookout for wildlife and flooding when it rains. Be careful on the hidden trails and beware of cliffs that lead to the river. The newer playground that was built some years ago is great for the kids and being surrounded by nature is always a plus.
Nice pond, with decent structure, a nice view, and of course bass. It was still too cold to say much about the vegetation, other than there is some. I think I caught 2 dinks, but they weren’t tiny. This place is probably awesome when it warms up.**A lot of these ponds could benefit from the culling of smaller fish, or the transplant if larger fish. Of course, if people only take fish, a couple of people could clear this pond of bass on a good day.**
Great park, a lot of activities, I did a bike ride over there, Lots of scenery, and lots of fun.
Lovely park with paved bike trails and natural walking trails, picnic areas, playgrounds and exercise stations for all ages.Sadly, some visitors had littered near parking lots.
Amazing!!! Great bike trails!!!After looking for a decent bike trail in a Arlington and east fort worth i came upon this little Gem and i must say with the constant improvements and the great maintenance the city dedicates to this park i can see why there are so many people there and why just entering it fills me with a glee that is only surpassed once i have completed my bike rides and my body is flooded with endorphins and filled with a sense of accomplishment and awe from the beautiful bike trails and the scenery once you have passed over all the bridges on the trails and have read all the little signs that give you little fast facts which is always enjoyable!Plus always have you have a good chance of seeing a little bobcat which is very exciting!!!
This place was great, and beautiful! I saw armadillos, snakes, and a big spider. The only problem is that you might get lost, so definitely bring a bring a compass!!!
It offers the hiker or biker an invigorating walk in quite nature.Once in the deep, park trails or even at the playgrounds the city noise does not interfere. It is an excellent place to something as peaceful as Tia chi.There is something for all ages of children to play.
Beautiful views and the trial is pretty long, could be here all day definitely recommend this park!
Great park to walk or bike! My boys and I biked 12 miles, saw an armadillo, hundreds of grasshoppers and butterflies, hawks, cranes, etc.
Love this park. Today the weather was great. Elyn from Studio E Fitt did a glow ride spin class tonight that was 🔥. Hopefully she will do it again before it gets too cold.
Great park. We only played at one section. It is a big park. Biking and walking trails are good.
Love the trails and mile markers with location tags, just incase you are lost..educational kiosk along the way. Great park for bicycling and long walks.
Had a good time with my little girl today. It was a beautiful day with lots of people out. I was impressed by how much people respected other peoples space$
Great park, ive done the 7 mile bike trail more than a few times 14 miles total. From 360 it looks like they might have extended the trails a bit?Lots of playgrounds for children young and old. I always see huge parties barbecuing.There are lots of wildlife around the trails turtles, snakes, birds, bobcats. Ive never seen a bobcat here in the many years ive been here though.Great place for taking your dogs for a good run or vice versa,dog takes you for a run!People watching is cool too!
One of favorite parts of all time is River legacy. This is such a well let place and always draws attention. Not offer crowded but enough so that my kids get to play with other kids. Never had a bad experience.
Theyve added so many attractions to this park. Its a great place to enjoy a day, here in Arlington. From the walking trails and wildlife attractions to the indoor nature center with interactive games and exhibits, youre sure to love this place!
Great place to bike ride with a two mile and a fifteen mile ride. In and out of wooded area and along a small lake. Here is my new bike that I was out on a first ride with a friend. It is a Trek hybrid bike. Im at the age where my legs are tired after a brisk hour ride and it is hard to get my leg over the bar. This is a unisex bike and as you can see there is no bar. After my first ride I saw my bike needed some adjustments. Trek makes adjustments the first thirty days and offers one full tune up within the first year.
River Legacy Parks has a long and amazing history for those who take the time to read the Texas historical marker and study up on some of the history online and in FACT there apparently was a murder there in the late seventies for by a homeless man and in addition to THAT, are supposedly paranormal activity INCLUDING a place called HELLS gate...But besides all that for you nature lovers it has 2 entrances and a HUGE amount of square acres, probably a couple of square miles Im guessing, and anything AND everything you could want to see is there in fact...If you havent been yet its hard for the kids is great for working out is great for couples to sit in a car chat look at scenery and has many a thing for every type of person and everything you one cluding the science center that they have as well!!!!!DONT MISS THIS !!!
I love this park it was great the kids have fun I recommend for people it have little kids
So much to see and explore. Trail hikes and bicycle rides. Plenty of places to picnic or bbq. Love to visit.
My son and I go there all the time its an excellent place to go biking, hiking and do some nature trails to have a picnic and to spend the day outdoors when the weather is nice.
Went there to bird. This is actually the Ft Worth Drying Beds with multiple ponds that make for a winter home for waterfowl. Many spring migrant birds pass through here to rest and refuel before heading father north. If you dont birdwatch you might see beavers, skunks, raccoons, snakes, coyotes making for a great walk!Free parking at the end of the entrance lane.
Its great park, little busy during weekends. Kids love the play area. Good picnic spot.
This is a beautiful place to visit located by the Trinity River. Very great for walking and site seeing.
Great trails for a walk along the river. Can be a bit muddy and for a while this year part of the pathway was washed out because of all the rain. Lots of bicyclists tooling around, they dont all follow the rule of announcing their approach so be aware, especially if you have headphones on. I personally prefer NOT to wear my earphones so I can instead listen to the nature sounds and birds singing. Its a very tranquil place.
A great place to take the family. Wr always enjoy walking in the park.
Beautiful trails and great place to relax and get back to nature
Very cool place to explore, lots of parks for children, good place to picnic. And have good walking and biking trails. A must visit kind of place
Had a great time on this trail! Nature has so much to offer if we just stop to look around.
Huge park. Adjacent to nature center. Huge, clean pavilion. Plenty of power outlets. Plenty of manicured, green space. Plenty of free parking.
Met in the park with my family, just before Easter. We hid eggs for the grannies. It was a nice clean area with needed picnic tables.
Great place for events. Plenty of space to enjoy. Kept clean and groomed. Good for families, sports enthusiasts, or personal time,
Best park in Arlington. I always feel safe there. I love that when I visit there are always parties and people hanging it. It’s a great environment!
Really nice park, long trails good for biking and jogging. Mountain bike course is good for all skill levels.
My family comes here often whether it be for picnicking, biking off trails, biking on the sidewalk or hiking the trail. We love coming here and the park is always clean
Family friendly, kids slides, lots of open space and trails, cookout and tables - come and visit!
This was our first time at the nature center. The kids had lots of fun seeing all of the snakes and turtles. The rest of the park is huge. A lot of nature trails and playgrounds for the kids. We will definitely visit again!
I really like the trails here. You can stay in the paved trail or go off on dirt paths. Great place to spend some time!
What a wonderful place to go to to walk the dogs, bike ride, picnic all of the above or just relax and get close to nature!
We had a wonderful time here! The park is very lush and beautiful with so many things to search for and the science center is a wonderful place of learning and staff who are friendly and extremely knowledgeable. They clearly love what they do here!
The best off-road trails Ive found in the DFW area! Hard packed, smooth & no rocks!!
Great place to hike. Has a long bike /walk path and plenty of trails through the woods.
Great place for long walks, 10 mile bike ride, playground for kids, and huge open fields for field games.
Nice parks but play areas with no trees around need some shade canopys added.
Beautiful place to walk, run or ride a bike! I prefer parking at the east entrance because its central.
Nice park for any occasion. Very busy during holiday weekends especially easter.
It’s a great place to relax, have a picnic with your family and The river is close by, all in all very awesome to get out and go walking. I love it!
Nice place to spend time at and relax. Park is kept clean and lawns, bushes, and trees are well manicured. Lots of public trails. Also trails off the beaten path where its hard to see someone ahead of you and hard for others to see you. Must people are friendly and like to say hi.
Gorgeous park an huge. Lots of fun to be had. Bike/walking trails an a big play ground for children..
List gorgeous park with shaded walking paths. The water here is pretty murky looking, but they do have paddle boat rentals.
I love jogging through here and walking my Corgi here. Some beautiful views here.
Great nice sized park. Needs another bathroom it took me 3 min to walk to the bathroom.
One of the best parks in Arlington, Texas. Bring your pets, kids . There is a lot of ground for kids to play. The trials are good and some nice.fishing spots.
My daughter and I truly enjoyed our time at River Legacy Park. The family friendly atmosphere and environmentally safe environment was amazing.
Great trails with well marked difficulty level!
Very nice clean park, love the trails, first timer there and not my last, will invite others to come out and enjoy. Thanks
Love this park it’s such a great place for Walking ,Parties ,and has a cute playground for the kiddos
My daughters class had their school field trip here... It was very informative and interesting to learn about the things I didnt know first hand about nature. Our tour guides were all kid friendly and professional and they were very organized and well put together. They deserve a 10 for working EXCELLENT together as a team to ensure our expectations were met. Way to go TEAM the kids and us parents and teachers all had a blast!
Huge park by the river. Great trails, nice playground, plenty of parking.
This ts a really nice park in Arlington with multiple parking lots, a childrens plat area and a Pavillion.
Great mountain bike trails. Some flat and winding, others a bit more technical and challenging. And a long paved trail for those that dont want to go off road
Love this park, plenty of parking, clean restrooms, lots of walking trails and bike trails. theres always a few ice cream trucks passing by! Today I saw a rabbit near the walkway and a tiny frog/toad! Last time we went we saw a coyote and a copperhead snake very close to our feet. Really scary but beautiful snake! Oh and its a great place for pokemon go fans!
Really nice park where a five mile walk is easily possible. Watch out for bike riders and armadillos! Other than that, nice place.
Great outdoor activities. But for me the best part is the Mt bike trail that continue growing. So far about 10 - 11 miles in it. The trail is perfect for beginner because it has a smooth continues trail. If your a expert rider they have a Route called EKG thats perfect for more expert rider.
I play soccer here every other Saturday morning.The park is clean and well run. Air quality is good, it doesn’t stink.I see people jogging around and the whole mood is just good. Haven’t had any bad experiences here in over a year since I started coming so all good
Love the walking trails. The events held here always run smoothly.
Nice park! Great walking trails, nice large playground by the lake, great Nature Center.
Very nice trails...paved and off road. Big open fields for kids to run around. Took a star off for such a big park to have only one bathroom.
Wow, this park is amazing! There were several awesome park areas in here, lots of trails for walking and bikes. The nature center was really cool too. Tons of wide open spaces for throwing a frizby or flying a kite.Cant wait to bring our daughter here. Shell love it.
They have a ton of playgrounds for the kids, some for older some for younger and a huge brand new one in the center. Also family friendly trails. Great first impression of this park! Wanted to check out the science center too but it was closed for a special event
I absolutely LOVE this place. Great walking & bike trails. Nice playground for the kids. Decent parking. Lots of open space & lots of wildlife so stay alert. Great place for outside photography.
Beautiful park with paved trails, restrooms, playground, picnic areas, and lots of green space. Unfortunately, the paved trail between the main park and Legacy Park East is closed, with a dirt trail substituted instead. To go from one to the other on pavement you must exit the main entrance and reconnect through an entrance in a nearby residential area.
We love this park! Its not as handicap accessible as other parks weve been to, but there are alot of options for children of all ages. There is a spot with alot of will kept grills should that be to your liking, and a large public restroom. All in all excellent choice! There are also bike and walking trails if thats your thing. The Nature Center is great, and the interactive site is affordable and excellent for younger children.
Theres a long terrain where you can go for your walks or running away from a lot of noise.The children also have areas to play!!
River Legacy Park is a fantastic place to be.There is a GREAT hike trail and is a good adventure with many paths to take.And great place for dogs.
My go to walking spot in Arlington. Great for marathon training and an afternoon with family.
Great park, well maintained biking, walking, hiking and mountain biking trails. Pavilions and playgrounds, you may even see a cute bobcat. What’s not to like?
Beautiful scenery I love jogging here and even visiting to relax and read a book.
This was a nice quick stop on out road trip. My little boy enjoyed walking the trails.
Good walking and bike trails, open field for games and trees for shade
My family and I love this park. Is our first choice to go to when we want to do outdoor activities, they have trails, playgrounds and a workout station outside. Perfect for everyone, I recommend visiting this park!
Nice place. Fun place for beginners to ride bikes.
Very Beautiful here drove down to book signing park very clean with class and style very large lots of space with family picnic areas with lots of seating and tables nice big bathrooms for ladies and gentlemen you do have to clean up behind yourself you cant leave it dirty throw trash on the grounds ice cream truck for children and adults come through lot play activities for the kids great cook place lots of great choice to choose from I really enjoy the Book 📖 signing got two great books that and made me cry and laugh.📚 books by :Thersa Tarpleysuch heart felt storiesThis not a promotion for her books Im just sharing that this is a nice place for professional events such as hers if your looking for great place to have charity events annual event family gathering not worried about riff wrath this is your go to place its very clean zero tolerance nice suburban areas
I only visit here for the mountain bike trail but that is reason enough to come. DORBA does a great job maintaining the trail and posting closures in thier website. The trail itself is pretty mellow except for one clearly marked section and the park area. I normally ride with my kids and we stick to the easier sections. Even those sections have a few features to try out and it is really building thier confidence
Very nice place, beautiful. I liked all the paved trails and wanted to do more of the unpaved ones but wasnt sure how to get to them or where they led. It would be great to have some trail maps available
Was a bit warm same pricey but nice would recommend
Beautiful, lots of parking, free entrance. What else could you ask for!?
Other than some occasional flooding along the trails and watershed degradation of the trail surface from the encroaching river, this place is one of the best parks to ride bikes and walk in DFW. Ive been on the trail at least 150 times and cant wait to go back again.
Such a great park! I am particularly fond of the walking trails through the woods. You can forget youre in the middle of a huge metroplex while traipsing through the forest! The Living Science Center is also a lot of fun for the kids.
This park is fantastic for many reasons they have main trials that run all around the huge park with markers to let you know how far youve run and the pathways are color coded for so you know which path youre on. The park it self is huge you can run for Miles and not run into anybody great if you need to get away from everything.
Weve been twice now and theres still more to see. Crazy, saw a bobcat!
7.5 mile walking or riding trail. Make sure you take water. There is only one fountain on the trail and its a marker 2.5 so if you go all the way to the end and back you dont have water for about 10 miles. Beautiful park with plenty of shade on the trail.
Great place to go out and have fun to enjoy the nice weather
I love this park! My kids love this park. No matter if you just want to take a nice walk, have a birthday party or take the kids to play. We always have a great day at River Legacy!!
My granddaughter and myself come to this park for her to play. She always loves it and it makes her so happy! 😊
Very nice and peaceful, nature good for walking and riding
Great place for jogging, running, walking, and BBQ! :)
Really well kept park. Plenty of trail so you dont have to go on circles. Would recommend anyone to go.
Had a lovely walk here. Makes me wanna go buy a bike for next time.
I looove bringing my toddler here to just roam amongst the trees and large rocks. The Trails and facilities are soo well maintained and our family always feel refreshed when we come out and truly breathe in fresh clean air while taking in the beautifully maintained and kept parks and trails.
Beautiful peaceful park nice trails
These are the nicest easy to intermediate trails Ive been on!!WTG RL park.
Had a great walking experience here. Great scenery, clean trails. Walking, running or biking.
I really enjoy this Park because of its beauty and ability to facilitate many activities.
Went to Fall Festival for the 1st time.i had a blast and my children too
Great park to bring the kid and let them be kids! We went the day after some rain and there some wet spots. And you know what they say ... When life give you a puddle ... YOU JUMP IN IT!! (of course if you are seven years old!!) :-)
Great park, trails for bikes, and a nice view.
Beautiful park, i only wish they had more unpaved walking trails. Its not the best park for a hike, which was my mistake.
I love the ability to stretch my legs in this park
Excellent walking and biking trails. Have been coming here for years and never get bored of the nature. Look out for the bobcat - hes harmless but cool to watch.
This place is just tops. Very big so always something to do. Great open spaces, playgrounds, and trails to hike. The science center is great too, a lot of great stuff for kids to learn about.
Its a beautiful park with lots of space.
I always enjoy spending time with family here. Great park for kayaking and mountain biking.
Really nice trails and open fields, pergolas and grills,
Nice bike trails. Huge park Very nice. I use to drive and quit stopping in rest areas in Arkansas that looked like you were in prison. Newer rest areas in Texas are nice. This parks bathroom facility looked like a prison restroom.
Great place for family fun. Very long trails for running cycling or whatever
We really enjoyed it! Wish we lived closer so we could go more. The staff was really friendly and helpful and the trails were great. Also the playground is really cool
Well maintained park with very nice bike trail
Love these trails. I be walkin for days and never see the end of em
This is one of my favorite places in Arlington absolutely beautiful well maintained and lots of fun for the family
We went for a several mile hike and had a great time. There is a 10 mile route with possibilities to make it various lengths.
Great place for all types of excercises. I take any of my 3 bicycles to ride their trails. You can even hit the dirt trails for your mountain bike.
Beautiful park. I love going here to ride my bike
Gorgeous place to relax in the city. Walked around the park in the evening. Saw lots of wildlife, raccoons, rabbits, an opposum, and even a small pack of coyotes! Have ridden my bike here several times, and thoroughly enjoyed the paths and trails throughout the park!
Great place to walk and bicycle. And see nature
It was amazing the park was cold but the kids had very much fun
Amazing park! Great park to get your walk in or your bike ride or roller blade workout. Bring the kids! Very nice playground area. Bring the dog! They will love it! Bring a picnic lunch and find a table under a beautiful shade tree. You will love this park!
We always have a blast here and its always so clean. Today we stopped by for a picnic
Love this place, truly a gem, quiet, open, and plenty of space to decompress.
Long concrete trails by the Trinity River. Good place to get your exercise on.
Great park with a lot of trails for everyone. Enormous fields. Plenty of wild life. Ive seen bob cats, hogs,snakes,armadillos, and all kinds of birds and critters. Take mosquito spray when its season.
Love it! What a beautiful experience this park is. It was my first time as I was doing the Susan Komen virtual walk! I would definitely go back to exercise or have lunch and a beautiful walk. The park was extremely clean, inviting and I felt very safe alone or in a group. Lots of beautiful wildlife to see. You can exercise, play sports or even barbecue. I would highly recommend this park and hopefully it will be respected and remain clean and beautiful.
Great park! It’s always well maintained and the trails are great. The park, in my experience, has always felt very safe. I have cycled the concrete trail at night and never once felt in danger. The DORBA trail is also a great trail ride. The facilities and group areas are nice.
Such an amazing place to spend the whole day exploring nature! Lots of great trails and plenty of parking. Several play structures throughout that are well maintained. Very family friendly!
Its great that the park opens at 5:00am so we can beat the summer heat.My 10 year old son and I skated a couple of miles along the Trinity River and theres miles more paved trails.
Nice park. Sometimes too crowded to ride a bicycle. At least two sections are closed due to erosion. There is a way around, but not much fun on a bicycle. These spots have been closed for quite a while. Park service please fix them.
Lots of nice walking paths. Could stand additional bathrooms though.
Love going to the park to take photos! Also great for biking, walking, and jogging!
This is a fantastic park to go running, biking, or walking. There is a long trail perfect for any distance running among nature. There are even markers along the trail for 911 to easily locate a person in the case of an emergency. A creek runs through the trail, so there are bridges as well. Beautiful gem inside Arlington!
A big beautiful park. We are new and did not even know it was in our back yard. You can do everything here. Sundays seems to be the Hispanic day because party music was blasting throughout. Otherwise its a great place for a gathering.
Huge space, well maintained with a ton of different spaces and activities.
Very nice park...Lots of hiking/walking/bike trails...Parks for the kiddos....Plenty at room at the park...I believe I seen a few picnic areas as well.
My church had a walk a thon there. It was GREAT!5K
Beautiful place to bike and run. Its best to bring your own water due to lack of water fountain along the trails and be aware of your surroundings.
Absolutely fantastic park to come for a walk/run. It goes on and on and on for miles. You can go as long as you want. It’s almost entirely shaded too which is awesome. Highly recommend
Its a must to go here the playground was huge large grass areas biking /walking trails and that was just one side apparently I have more to venture out and see
Expansive, a good layout that will need to be remodeled after most major paths have had parts of the trails washed away.Wide open spaces that invite exploration, always a fun trip!
This is a great park for walking on paved or dirt trails. MTB trails are excellent. Many pavilions for picnics and grass fields for playing!
We love going to river legacy. And the workers keep it so nice. But people really starting to trashed It out. Been going for 20years, but... theres a whole new breed going and they dont respect the park, They should go to Cobb park if they want to be Nasty
This was a cute interactive place for our children. It is free for the trails and the small part as you walk in but the travel interactive exhibit costs a few dollars. It is worth it. My kids ages 8,7, and 3 enjoyed it. The view to the water is beautiful and worth through the walk through alone. Hours of fun and even better that the attractions are changed out every few months.
Live this area! Wonderful family friendly area, lots of variety from nature walks , bike paths, open fields to cuddle up on a blanket while reading or just taking a nap , the open fields are plush with soft well-maintained Augusta grass! There are a couple large play grounds for little ones , large fields to play soccer, last time we even saw a group playing softball and there was ample room for social distancing and still enjoying ourselves! the kids and I played volleyball, people walk their dogs , throw Frisbee and I believe there a nature section as well. Wondefuk atmosphere especially during Autumn.
Nice park. Walking and bicycle trails are well maintained. Not enough trash cans, though.
Perfect trails and park for short and long walks,hijes or bike riding. Nice views of the lake or river With some vists you are sure to see armadillos,snakes,bobcats,red birds and more.. Cements paths are cleaned and are kept cleaned..just need visitors to understand that ONE bottle trashed here by ONE person can multiply and ruin the park..
Wonderful for walking, cycling, enjoy with friends or family.
Beautiful park, with beautiful views! This park is along what River Legacy identifies as 7.5 miles of trails. The actual park itself is around mile marker 2-3. There is unfortunately quite a bit of needed repairs being made on the trails, but it’s taken them over a year. The trails are not the safest in these areas so use caution when walking/running/riding.

2022-02-04Great park for everything from family outings to distance runs to mountain biking. Paved trail loop for walkers and runners - accessible and stroller friendly. Nice bathroom and cool playground area. And then 13+ miles of dirt trail for mountain biking and more serious hiking. Enjoyed an hour-long ride and a picnic there. Will be back again soon!

2021-12-28First time coming here and wifey is suggesting we come back tomorrow for a picnic. Very big park with lots of things to do. Exercising, walking, picnic, you decide what you want to do with your time. Forgot to take pictures but we had fun.

2021-04-19Beautiful trails, extra wide sidewalks, and huge fields makes this park extra special. Whether youre a running, hiking, or riding there is more than enough room for everyone. I read there is around 10 miles of trails but seems like more. The only thing that took away from another otherwise amazing day was getting bit on the ankle by a passing dog. That kind of sucked.

2021-09-06River legacy park is a fun park to go ride a bike. Wide concrete pathways for walkers, runners, bicycling 🚲. It has offroad trails for mountain bikes and for hiking. Which ever one you choose to do they both have beautiful scenery. People from all around the DFW have herd of this park. Saying its one of the best bike trails around here. Im just glad I dont live to far from it.

2022-01-30Ok so I love this Park. The Trinity River has carved its way through this Park to give it some awesome scenery. The trails are great for the most part. Which this also brings me to why Im only giving two stars. The pathways have become extremely dangerous. Some of them are starting to or have already crumbled into the river. Erosion had gotten the best of the pathways. They have then fenced off but people can easily get around then and they still use the parts of damaged pathways. These arent small drop offs. Most spots are at least a 40 foot fall at the smallest. Someone is going to get hurt of they havent already. If its when this issue is fixed Ill give five stars.
