easily one of the best hangout spots for the fitness and nature freaks in Plano- well maintained, good number of trails , a bit thrilling side- trails .. and you can catch up with Modelling guys/ girls!

This place is beautiful!! Great place to jog, mountain bike , walk. There's a playground and restrooms and grills and pavilions. Also good for photos.

Rose Ibrahim

Cool trails and scenery for runners, hikers, bikers , and families. Good place for pictures too. I still like White Rock lake for running a little more, primarily because i like the lake . I'll be back.

The hiking trails are becoming more and more popular. Suggest not making a trip during the weekends. New paths are starting to open up off the outer loop trail .

Adonis Miler

It's a great place in the middle of the great city to get away from all the crazy traffic of the city . Plenty of people use the background to take pictures with family. Nature's Best !

Went for a walk in a giant protracted loop filled with foliage and a crazy mad squirrel. The buried treasure story is just that - squirrel takes it personally though

Great view of Plano from the watch tower, could have been a little cleaner though.

These trails are great for running or biking , and feel pretty secluded from the rest of the city . The lookout area on the trails has a beautiful view !

Jeffrey Chui

Gets a little crowded on the weekend but it's definitely a place to unwind from city life. Haven't had any issues with dogs, runners, or bikers . Take some time to explore :)

Devaraj Rajagopalan

Free and big parking lot and good trails partly covered with trees . Good for walking????‍♂️running and biking ????

Erica Johansen

Great place for pets . There are some off-the-path creeks throughout the area you can let your dog take a swim . Also, the nature preserve is a geocaching goldmine!

Brittany Whittier

Love this little hidden gem ! Great place for walking and exploring. Can get crowded on weekends.

ArchGrafix

A tiny piece of nature right in the middle of the city . Great way to quickly feel like you are out in nature without driving far. Wear good hiking shoes and bring a camera .

Amber W

Miles of trails , both paved and dirt. Designated bike trails . No horses allowed. Great for dogs. Popular with photographers and athletes.

Seasons 52

A beautiful nature preserve right in the heart of the city . Check out the Observation Tower or rent a pavilion for a large party.

Matt Hicks

Paved foot paths , bicycle only paths , and unpaved foot-traffic only paths . Amazing place to spend several hours without even realizing it.

Ray Lopes

Great park for walking, jogging, bicycling, rollerblading or just getting in contact with nature.

Trista Perot

Need a place for the kids and dogs to run, ride bikes , fly kites and spread out? This is it. Parking can be a real challenge. Has potties.

Nadine Mansour

The perfect place for a morning jog , bike ride , picnic or catch up with friends. Watch out for snakes though!

Ana Fonua-Terrazas

It's SUPER busy! Great trails but be ready for a crowd.

Tirdad Kiamanesh

Nice place to go in this boring city . Just go there in day time as it does not have lighting

Larry McBrearty

The outer trail is a good way to get away from all the people on the main trail

Jessica Lacy

I loved this place! I'm visiting family and this was perfect place to get away for a walk with the dog! :)

Long scenic paths suitable for running, hiking , or just taking a walk.

Joe Slaughter

If someone parks badly & accidentally uses 2 spaces, please don't say anything to them because they probably didn't mean to. And it might be me & I'm a nice person.

Jared Hylton

Arbor Hills NP is a nice place to jog or walk with your family or pets ! Don't forget, SCOOP THE POOP!

Mardon Navalta

Off the beaten path you may find yourself a garden oasis and peacefulness .

If you need to hill train , this place is great & tough! Good place to run 4 or less miles

Beats are unnecessary. Listen to the wildlife and water flowing through the rocks.

Diane Porter

The trails are awesome! Love walking there.

Julia Byrom

Water fountains , multiple bathrooms , picnic areas

Lindsay Alyssa

Pros: Beautiful and Quiet . Cons: Bikers don't say passing, nor do they maintain safe speeds when coming down hills . Dogs are rarely leashed. No rules are posted. Stick with Katy Trail .

If you're going to take the MTB bike trail , please go the same direction as everyone else.

Fun for mountain biking as wells just a relaxing place to take the family.
