"A beautiful, spacious park"
"Very clean, very nice, very respectable"
"Trash everywhere dog feces everywhere and people sleeping on the benches not people who was working out out by the way people crawling out of the back woods looking like they just woke up and beer and firework waste everywhere, thus could be a really nice park if people all just pick up after them selfs and their pets! The previous time we were here in a Sunday evening there was people riding 4 wheelers and dirth bikes there when there is signs everywhere that prohibits motorized vehicle's"
"Very nice place always clean an has things to do for all age kids"
"Better than it was a few years ago! You don't get chased by strays anymore"
A beautiful, spacious park. But I wish the City of Dallas re-imagine the parking space. It is a large community-based, and on a perfect day like today, I counted 100 interested visitors trying to park inside a 25 space area. It was a Wednesday afternoon, and cannot imagine a weekend afternoon! First, I would suggest to the counsil, for safety reasons, parking parallel on the street is dangerous to the community, for the visitors, specially with children opening doors on the outer street. Remember, not everyone has common sense, and children do not have the sense of danger when opening the left door to the passing street. Secondly, smartness would be to pave along the long side a parking area to accomodate the visitors. Conclusion, the park has abundant space for a proper size parking area investment, and to accomodate the 100 visitors on a three hour window on a sunny, winter afternoon.
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. That's just crazy, sad. Because of that they won't be back so you've lost customers there because of extra fee. Otherwise with their size of family they would have helped and would have come often.
Trash everywhere dog feces everywhere and people sleeping on the benches not people who was working out out by the way people crawling out of the back woods looking like they just woke up and beer and firework waste everywhere, thus could be a really nice park if people all just pick up after them selfs and their pets!

Very nice place always clean an has things to do for all age kids. My kids love this place. It has deep end 15 ft with a diving board. Kids have to pass the swimming test to be able to swim on that side. That's a positive they were about safety. Anybody under 18 has take the test. Should try if you don't have a pool at your house an stay on east side of Dallas. We go here maybe once an week this summer. Been going here for 4 yrs though.
Better than it was a few years ago! You don't get chased by strays anymore. There's less sex, in the woods & parking lot. It has a Super Crappy playground. It's a good, busy walking trail. Police presence makes it safer, now. Update: In the far SouthEast corner, they built a new Swim Park (where the moto-cross trails were). It's pretty big, nice, & expensive (to build/maintain)!!! We'll see how for how long it stays maintained & nice!
2 mile walk/run around the park, nice scenery, basketball courts, baseball fields, soccer fields, play ground, picnic tables, water fountains and benches. Three parking lots, dog friendly (all dogs must be leashed by law & all dog waste shall be removed, up to $100 fine) however the dog poo situations is not enforced, this could be due to a lack of signs & dog waste cans around the park. Call Park & Recreation to reserve fields.
The place is very nice to walk and meditate, run and take your pets out, it has soccer fields and I saw some bathrooms, the place is quiet, it has very well pruned and cared for places The path is long enough for a good walk, it has parking and is easy to access.
Restrooms
Baños portátiles
Dog-friendliness
Has a bag dispenser for dog poop
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...
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!
Beautiful Park. Really enjoyed a Relaxing, Rejuvenating time there today. Wondering if anyone could help me to get a group together in the area to work on picking up the trash in all Our Parks in the DFW area and ALL across Texas..... …
Thos park is phenomenal.Its like a nature walk in the woods without traveling deep into the woods.The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the lack of bathrooms.Portapotties just aren't gonna do it for most people.I know I personally left when I knew I needed to use the bathroom.
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 you'll see a dirt path go down it and you'll know right away why I love this place
It's 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 aren't any restrooms, other than the scattered port-a-pottys. It is otherwise a beautiful park.
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.
Great park with a fully paved trail that’s about 2 miles. Perfect for walking, dogs, families, & more ais always busy during the day. It could use better lighting at night when there aren’t games going on and some better bathrooms, but aside from that, it’s wonderful.
I love working out here but it's a hit or miss with the crowd. Many do not know the stay/get to the right when there's someone on the opposite side and they take up the whole path. Mornings can be great and on not so warm days there's not a big crowd and nice shade.
It was awesome exactly what I needed! I stopped because they were offering prayer. The Lord strengthened me through a gentleman who prayed for me and spoke to me through a lady named Linda who ministered to me. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus to me!
Very nice park to walk and jog and sport activity I have met some wonderful people throughout years I live about. 3 to 4 blocks so it's conveñion for me. But I tell you what would be nice for us Senior folks to build a Senior recreation center some where at Park.
Huuuuge park, dog friendly with water fountains for dogs throughout but must be on leashes. Has some trails but they are more for the teens to go and hang around ( if you know what mean). Best to stay on the paved walkway if you don't want any awkward encounters.
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 don't like it has a little dangerous are as your walking path is very close
This a nice park that is used for several activities. There are several soccer fields, a football field, a few baseball fields, a basketball court, a playground, and a path to jog/walk around the park. Picnics are usually held here or family gatherings.
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 !! …
I've been frequenting here since I was little. They have done some updates to the park, more benches and stands, I noticed a few more porta potty and more fountains. Needs work on the upkeep for the resources though. Still lovely.
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.
Park is beautiful. I remember hanging out here when I was younger. Was not as clean and taken care as it is now. The area may not be that good if you can get past that it's a nice place to run/jog or any other physical activities
I only give 3 starts because I play basketball and I would love if they added an extra street light near court because as it gets dark. It's very hard to see. But other than that is a good park if you just want an relaxing time
Took my neice there the lifeguard squad there is amazing and very observant this location is fun but due to the area a bit ghetto speaking on the guest not the employees probably wont visit this location again because of that!
Kool Nice Park. Lots of room.trails and even a little lake(pond) on the backside of park. Baseball field dog area with drinking water. Portable restroom, kids play gym. Lights for night. Park is ok and mark points along trail
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(I've actually seen a deer) in the forest.
The park is always clean and it gots very good lighting at night on the trails for people can jog thru the night or early in the morning lots of people are there nice park to to take a walk if you on a date.
First off...no one is in the store... door is broken... and they had the nerve to pick up a phone call as we stood outside trying to get a price. Was told 350..without anyone even looking at the phone
Been going since I was 2 it's amazing and they have spots u can hang out and relax at and it's very peaceful and they have spots u can explore but be safe about it tho other than that have fun
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.
Great park. Parents and kids enjoy the park, the trail is smooth, not weathered down, and there's one or two hills. The trail and all also clseemed clean to me. A few large open areas too.
I walks the trails there. Its nice peaceful n very spacious for friendly pets n others. The open trail is nice for bike rider as well. Great early morning walk to get your day started
I love the walk path that they have. And the picnic area very romantic and secluded. And also provide park and play area for the kids to play basketball and lots of parking spaces.
You really have to be careful if you go to this park. It's a beautiful place but the people that congregate there are not admirable. Scarey place with a lot of no good happening.
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.
The park's just beautiful. But please find a safe place to park.. Although parking is legal on prairie creek rd. Please know that is where I parked the day my car was total.
I have a great time with the kids walked the trail, played at the park, a little hoop. I definitely recommend spending the whole day. There's a little of everything to do.
It's a very big park, nice for biking, running or for a walk only thing is some areas do not have light so I wouldn't get caught after dark, it can get pitch black.
Fun times.. Nice Pools.. Not a bad price either. 6$ small kids & 8$ 12 & up. Water slides, wave pool, diving board & u can bring ur own food !!! Have Fun !!!
Large park near Pleasant Grove. Mature oak trees abound. Many shaded benches and picnic areas. Wide concrete walking paths. Generally well kept and clean.
My husband and I love this spot... We go here to get some exercise. The trail is amazing and just the right length to get the exact exercise we need.
I was pleasantly surprised at how nice and clean it was very nice started working out there walking everyday this month June 1st very nice very clean
One of my all time favorite parks to hike! Love the hidden trails, and the wide jogging areas! In case your a soccer fan, they have a ton of goals!
Crawford Park is wherre I go to walk run or just sit in silence for a peace of mind lots of trees so you want over heat and it's always clean
Grew up in the area great to see this park still needs a little work but very peaceful place...has horse trials walking paths and great pond
Nice park, I love walking here or bringing my kids. Lots of space to run and play. Lots of locals, homeless people here once in awhile.
It’s a good place for take a break, go to run, to walk, play football, soccer, basketball, ride with bike and it has a great landscape.
Two hours for 5 bucks is not bad at all.. You can accomplish your task with your family and leave earlier. Been there many times now.
Went walking in the morning after breakfast, lots of people walking and some people walking with their pets. Breezy day not to hot.
I enjoyed walking through this park with my mother. The people here are friendly. The bathrooms should be open, though. Nice park.
This park is just what everyone needs. From a kids area, baseball, basketball, and soccer fields to a walking trail. So peaceful!
I really enjoyed this park. The walking trail is exceptional with lots of caveats and surprises. It was a real adventure!
Nice clean park with open space since of security with all the people around track accessible and restrooms available
Fun soccer fields with fences so the ball does not get sent flying long path ways for jogging biking or just walking
It's a great park... I've been going to the park for a while now and is clean and the people do social distancing.
Great for walks workouts and sports i love this park
Restrooms

Love this park,very nice and safe place clean for family.I would give it 5 stars if restrooms had toilet paper.
Took my 8 year old to the playground and push him on the swing. We had to enjoy the cooler weather and relax.
Great outdoor swimming pool. Clean clear water. Right temperature. Good exercise routine by the instructor.
I have been going to this park on and off for many years. Great 2 mile trail for walking or jogging . …
Great, wide open trails to walk. Plenty of trees. Haven't been able to use the sports fields yet though.
Great for walking or running it's a few mile with a great park and my child love playing with the sand
This Park is always really pretty and somehow cleaner than you'd expect for how many people are there
Nice place to walk around take your pets eat sandwiches and vwatch you children play. Very nice park
