River Legacy Parks

Love this park. Plenty of trails both concrete and off-road. Most everything along the river is covered in foliage so you stay cool even in the heat of the summer. Big play areas for kids and plenty of running areas.

This review is specific to the Legacy Parks Mountain Bike Trails at River Legacy Parks. Great for trail running, hiking, and biking. This is mostly a single-track trail used by runners, hikers, and bikers. The trail is rustic with lots of twists/turns and tree cover. This may be one of those trails where you either leave your earbuds behind or only wear one; you need to hear when runners or bikers are close. There are a couple of areas with great dips, perfect for biking or sprinting hills. As mentioned above, this is a rustic trail which is part of its charm. Keep your eyes out for roots, uneven footpaths, snakes, etc. There are a number of trails so you can make your workout as long as you want. The closest bathroom is at the River Legacy Parks. It is close enough to walk to the bathrooms but it is still a bit of a hike. Parking seems plentiful and I have not seen the lot filled up yet.

Been wanting to check out this park for quite some time and finally got around to doing so. There is too much park to walk around in one day; however, I did see enough to be impressed with this green space in Arlington. The city should be proud of what they have. Some of the tables and grills look as if the CCC had built them, but maybe that is simply the decor. Who knows?! There were pavillions and tables galore with plenty of shade to fend off the hot sun and temperatures. I also stumbled across access to a wildflower area off the beaten path. Maybe some day I'll return to further explore this hidden treasure. If you live nearby, don't procrastinate in checking out this wonderful park with such a rich history. I'll defintely head out here again soon.

Nice park in Arlington. I was pleasantly surprised by this place. I found it on the all trails app. There is plenty of parking available. The park offers picnic tables, several playground equipment, a covered picnic area, and walking/running trails.The park was very clean, with clean restrooms and plenty of trash cans. The trails are wide enough for walkers/runners/bikers to share the trail. I was on the trail from 4 to 530pm. Several of people on the trails to feel safe. However, you still felt like you had the trail all to yourself. Also, several trail options to puck from.

I did not know about this park's existence until recently! I've been seeing this park's trail on AllTrails, and I've been looking for a good lengthy trail to get my jogs in but what's even better was that it was close to my house.This park is located in Arlington, and it's a HUGE park -- they have green fields, trails, pavillions and grills that you can use. It's a really nice area where you can see trees (and those are hard to find in Texas!)I was able to use the greenway to get my jog in -- the park wasn't too crowded on a Saturday afternoon either so it was really pleasant. Even if you don't want to use the trail, the park is big enough so you can probably just jog around the park.I'm so glad I was able to find this park and I'm excited to use this park more! Super clean, not too crowded and perfect in the city of Arlington!

My dog and I come here nearly every day and we love it! This park has everything, water, trails, bike paths, playground area, picnic areas and large clean public restrooms. If you are in the area and looking to have a cookout or take your dog on a walk or your kids to a playground this is an amazing place to do so! Probably my favorite park in all of Texas!

This was such a huge park. I came on a Friday and went through the entrance by Viridian. I took some nice photos, unfortunately a lot of the trails were blocked. After talking with one of the visitors, it was due to erosion. He said how the spot where he was sitting use to have a bench on it. It is now a cliff lol. I know that on the Green Oaks entrance there is some sort of learning center. Don't quote me on that! I will, however, check that out and see what's all on that side of the park. I met so many cute doggos! One was really shy, but also wanted to be pet really badly. Too cute! I did not wear the proper walking shoes and had to go through some makeshift trails due to the erosion. When I say the bottom of my feet looked like I stomped out charcoals for a living- it was not the truth! To access the park was free which is always a plus. There is ample parking and near the entrance there was a port o potty. I'm sure there are bathrooms somewhere in the park. I'm excited to go back and see what's on the other side.

It is time for an update!! I would say this is on my list as one of the most beautiful 'nature spots' in DFW. If you are looking to get away and explore and feel like you're not quite in North Texas anymore I would say to venture here. It is good to get some fresh air anyways these days. As far as wildlife, I've been out there and haven't had any encounters. But since it is very wooded I would just say be sure to venture out during a more traffic time of day and you will be fine. There are various parts of the trail but I prefer more of the dirt path. But on a nice Texas day be sure to bike, hike or run this lovely area! It remains well maintained and there is lots of parking. I need to get out there and explore more.

This is a very nice park.There was ample space, the crowd was kind (with bike and hike passing), and areas for family gatherings.In the future, I hope to see less detours and more landscaping.I took off a star because compared to other parks in the metroplex a lot of people weren't cleaning up after their pets.

Appears to be closed. Just drove 30 minutes to get here and its gates are shut. Their website is down as well.
