I love this little park. Parking is right next to the lake, you have grass to set up fishing rod holders and just across the street you have a Whataburger and convenience store. No fee to park and the other folks that are there dont bother you. If you have a boat you can launch it there for free as well.

Nice little park. Easily accessible, clean, well maintained. I long shoreline allows for many people to fish and not feel cramped. The boat ramp is not steep, easy in and out for most single trailers. Plenty of parking for trailers, a few porta potties around. Toilets: Basic porta potties, better than nothing. Picnic area: Several picnic tables and small pavilions around.

Extremely uncomfortable stay! This greenbelt is located right across from what looks like Section 8 housing. When we entered the parking area a police car was sitting there; should have given us a hint. We saw plenty of people fishing but once we entered the trail we got a the last 48 hrs vibe and turned around rather quickly. We got back to the car and a homeless jumped out of the toilet scaring the dogs. We got in the car FAST and took off.

The photos & reviews online made this place look so good. When in reality this place is very trashy. The so called bathrooms are dirty portable toilets also the parking lots are full of pot holes. Did I mention Lots of trash. We didn t feel safe here with a young child and ultimately decided to leave. Highly don t recommend this place. We were greatly disappointed. Toilets: Dirty portable stalls.. bring toilet paper.

Nice place to enjoy an afternoon or evening. The boat ramp gets busy and there is limited parking at times. This holiday weekend we saw many damaged boats from the choppy water at the ramp from jet skis riding too close and even witnessed someone hit the dock with their ski.

My son and I spend a lot of time fishing here. It is usually pretty clean but there are people that dont feel they need to clean up after themselves. The day after Easter was especially bad. There were crushed plastic eggs, plastic grass, food containers, discarded toys, etc. all over. The park crews do their best and are constantly out there cleaning up and maintaining the landscape. There was a homeless camp behind the park, but it was recently removed by the police and cleanup crew. There is always a mix of different types of people out there, but we have never encountered anyone out to harm people. The wildlife is very curious about people, and we have encountered many different species on trips. There are squirrels, blue heron, turtles, ducks, snakes, and many different types of other birds. The one thing that bothers me is the restroom situation. There are 3 portables at the main parking lot by the boat ramp, but no others in the rest of the park. It can be a long walk if you are utilizing the eastern majority of the park. Overall we really enjoy the place and have created a lot of good fishing memories here. Playground: No playgrounds. Toilets: Only 3 portables near the main parking lot. Dog-friendliness: There are always people walking their dogs along the park path. Picnic area: There are three or four covered picnic areas throughout the park.

Quick Overview: This park is dedicated green space and a walking trail right on the shore of Lake Ray Hubbard. There is no playground, but if your kids need a change of scenery the view of the water and PGB Turnpike bridge up close is fun. The paved walking trail is only about .5 miles, but there are a few docks along the way to stop and see the water. Be warned that there is no fence along the water line, so if you have runners or dare devils this is not the park for them! RATINGS: Poor, Okay, Good, Great Toddler (12 Months -2 years) Young Kids (3-4 Years) Older Kids (5-7 Years) Toddlers: Okay Young Kids: Good Older Kids: Great Overall Cleanliness: poor (not well kept) Bathroom: Yes (portable) Shade: Okay Pavilion: Yes (multiple) Picnic Tables: Yes Benches: Yes Splash Pad: No Walking Trail: YES Location: 4099 Zion Road Garland, TX 75043 Parking Information: There are multiple places to park, but I recommend the lot on the southwest corner of the walking trail. The other option is by the Chaha boat dock.

This park was a big part of my childhood. Usually there isnt that much trash, if any, its very walkable, provides a nice view of the water, and there is a pier. Many stop by to bike and walk along the path near the water. There are trees for shade too and lots of open space between the water and the road for a picnic on the grass. There are also picnic tables, trash cans, and tiny grills around the area too. Sometimes you might catch a glimpse of some wildlife, such as herons and ducks.
