Trinity Park

It’s all cute during the day: Playgrounds, spots to rent a bike, duck watching, people snuggling on benches, cute TCU undergrads jogging. But at night, it totally changes. Think, ah, people meeting up briefly in cars. Gigantic raccoons affiixing themselves to trashcans. Just head on out as dusk arrives unless you partake in illicit behavior or are trying to test out your rabies vaccine.

I love Trinity trail. I’ve been running at Trinity trail for about 3 years in the park has maintained itself very well cleanliness and friendly people.

Nice big park. Thought I take the kids to the playground and walk around the park on our visit to fort worth, so we can see the view of downtown and be next to the river. The only issue I have about this park is the parking. When there are parties going on the weekend, they cars are parked along the road side by side so you can get stuck if you want to get out or need to get by to exit. There are vendors selling snacks around the park too. There’s a train you can ride for a small fee to get around the park with the kiddos.

Good place to work out.
You can run, bike, fish and just hang out on the bench. Parking is free and always has some spots available. There are plenty of nature u can enjoy: trees, river and some wild animals.
i like this place bcuz of the river. It makes u think that u r in somewhere of the Europe. The beautiful river surface reflects the variety colors of the sky.
You can either walk river side or have sit on the bench to enjoy the view. That is good relaxation.

Trinity park is a good place to get some fresh air and take the family on a beautiful day. We came here for a Sunday afternoon of bike riding. The trails are nice and people generally tend to stay on the side they should. This place tends to be crowded on a pretty day but there is enough space for everyone to find a spot in the shade or a place to play. Parking can get a little tricky sometimes but if you keep driving you will eventually find a spot. We hit the bike trails today with our dog. This place is pet friendly. Ever so often on the trail there are spots with water fountains and shady spots to take a break. Great place for a Sunday stroll either walking or riding. There is also the train if you feel like taking a ride. Great place to fly kites as well. Overall it’s a pretty solid place to bring the family and come play.

Running… lots of running to do here! This park has become my go-​to run spot and is now integrated in my routine. All sorts of people show up and the diversity makes me feel right at home. I saw a similar park to this when I was overseas and was happy to find a park with rent-​a-​bikes and a variety of things offered to the city’s denizens.
There is a Wednesday fun run at 7pm here. Just be careful of the cyclists that also share the trails with you. At the end of my run, there is a cluster of regular food trucks where I can take a drink.
There is something that I call The Hobo Bridge that I have to run under where the hobos are hanging around. They don’t bother you if you don’t bother them. This part is pretty stinky, but there is lots of garbage here in this part.
I don’t have kids, so the playground or the train rides are not of my concern, but I can tell all the families are there and it makes me feel very safe coming to the park.
On the farside of that playground is a basketball court and stairs to get to the 7^th street bridge that takes you back to West 7^th.

Trinity Park is a very good and safe place to relax, take a run, bike, walk, picnic, and so much more. I personally enjoy running on the looped trail as it is more relaxing on my feet compared to the concrete walkway. I enjoy the scenery while I run as well as running across the pedestrian bridge over the Trinity River. That enables me to run to the newly built 7^th Street bridge and run across that then come back down to the main part of Trinity Park to complete my run. I really like to cool off at the misting stations and sit down on the bench and take in the beautiful scenery. Good place to bring kids and they have places around to rent bikes. I certainly will keep coming here and if you have not been here, come!!!

Fun scenic paved area to run and bike out in Cowtown! I love coming out here for races and also just to run on my own. The sunrise is always so pretty here! I recommend you come out here on a Saturday and enjoy getting some fresh air!

Great park to spend the day. Nice playground for kids, the $ 5 train rides are adorable, and there are lots of nice paved paths for walking and exploring (I hate running, ew.)
The wether this weekend makes this park fantastic but there are lots of trees for shade so I suspect that would help this park be more bearable on a hotter day. Great place for a picnic or some family exercise!

This is a really nice park, but this review is mostly about the trails. The trails are a great place for running, walking, biking, and walking your dog (on a leash please). Most of the trail is gravel and there are some paved areas. On Saturday mornings there are plenty of friendly people out. Everyone seems so happy and says «good morning» as they pass by. There’s a food truck park near the trail that you can run/​walk/​ride to. The trails are clean and pretty well maintained.

Trinity Park itself is fairly big but it just still makes me feel gross being there. The basketball court under the bridge is probably the best thing about it. Even though the courts are really slippery at least for me and the hoops aren’t quite the same height.
Even the kids area looks kind of dull, back in the mid and late 90’s when I was of «Playing on Play ground age», They used to have a tall wooden slide and play area. Now its all plastic (which i’m positive is safer) but its super small and boring. I feel sorry for the kids now, they have no idea what they are missing.
The bike trail goes on for Days, but to be honest, there isn’t anything too special about it. Nothing really to look at but dried grass and maybe that one statue on the bench that freaks me out during a night ride. The river (which i’ve noticed that the city is trying to Doll up) is still Ugly as ever and they are trying to breath life into it with the Panther Island and Kayaking (ewwk). I wouldn’t want to touch or have the Trinity rivers water on my body for too long. I feel like it is just a 708 mile long toilet.

This was one of the nicer regional parks we’ve been to. There were so many things for the kids to do, from climbing trees to playgrounds to… the train.
My kids love trains. No ride is ever enough for them. Every trip we go on, we search the route for mini-​trains. But this train ride… it was long enough. No complaints. No temper tantrums. No refusing to disembark. The ride was at least 15 minutes long, not including the stop at the other station. They got to see the park, the river, the trees, and lots of real trestles. (I think the high point was when our mini train ducked under a freight train on a real train trestle, which wasn’t that far above our heads.) And it was only a couple of bucks each. Once the heat goes away, we’ll be back again.
Just don’t use the map on Unilocal here… we used someone else’s advice and it was better: Find the entrance to the Ft. Worth Zoo. Now go across the street. One of the Trinity Park entrances is over there and the main train station is by that entrance.

Loved this place! Get away from the picnic area with all the people and you can walk forever on groomed lawns with mature trees and paved trails along the river. It’s wonderful for letting the dogs swim and run.

Best park to go for a run or ride. The location is perfect for taking friends and family from out of town. Not too far are a ton of restaurants and bars to check out.

I imagine that this park is the kind of thing Leslie Knope dreams of. A park in the middle of the city hosting miles of walking trail with the downtown skyline serving as a backdrop. On the trails you’ll find serious cyclists, hard-​core runners, moms with strollers and a few nicely dressed couples taking a leisurely stroll. Lots of opportunity to sit down on a bench and take it all in (or a photo op with a Mark Twain statue). Picnic tables are scattered around for those who brought their lunch. In the middle of it all, large playground for the kids for the kids to play on. We just stuck to the swings on this visit. Regular and baby swings are available.
The park is a little rough around the edges, a few spots had construction and the basketball court looked like it had seen better days, but all in all a great place to spend a beautiful Sunday afternoon.
On our next visit, we’ll have to go for a ride on the train that goes around the park!

It is so incredibly beautiful here. Very peaceful and family oriented. The park is huge, filled with wonderfully mature trees, benches, a little train, bridges, trails and playgrounds. It is in the same area as the Botanical Garden and the Zoo and surrounded by restaurants and other night life. You can spend an entire day here, maybe even a week.

Trinity Park is a great place to take your bike and head down the Trinity Trails — you can catch about 40 miles of trails all along the Trinity River. There are both paved and gravel trails in many areas, and for the most part, the trails are well-​maintained.
You can take one trail southwest out of Trinity Park, along University, and ride it all the way to Benbrook. I swear it’s all uphill once you leave the river, and you’ll likely be going into a strong headwind, but the ride back is SOOO worth it. And if you head towards Benbrook, you’ll cruise through some nice neighborhoods, a great little park — it makes for a really enjoyable ride.
Once you take the trails outside the park, there’s not a lot of tree-​cover. Be sure to grab your sunglasses, slather on some sunscreen, and take plenty of water. You’re in for a great ride!
