My grandsons loved playing here! The tree like playground was solid and safe. I Even climbed up both sides of the man-made tree and felt comfortable at 59 years and 230 lbs. Lovely area for a family picnic and a smaller playground across the park for littler tikes.
I was so surprised to find this bit of wilderness here in the metro area. I went down a vague trail and didn’t see another soul till I went back to my parking area. Very cool atmosphere for when you want to get away from all the hub bub.
One of the best parks in Arlington. it's literally huge. you can go for walking and the bike trails are really awesome. A beautiful bike ride with a beautiful nature.
Wild ! The wild oasis... When hiking, lord knows , back in the woods and were those dog prints in the mud or a Bob cat ? Not to worry. Human traffic and foot trails abound as well as their ever present cell phones.
A get away place in Arlington 🤩. Trail is so cool. Perfect for biking🚴🚵♂️. Mornings are wonderful. If you are here after 8pm you could see thousands of fireflies 🤩 great place for family, friends and party. Enjoy👍🏼😄 stay healthy
