Cameron Park has always been a beautiful place until recently. Folks that live around this area are finding bullets stuck in the roofs. The noise at night has increased tremendously. Trash being left on the grounds. This influx of new citizens is ruining the natural beauty and the peace and quiet we crave.

I like this place! Maybe would be cool if the gravel trails had a bit more in some areas, maybe some garden art. The Amphitheater is really cool, love the fountain. Maybe in the future, when they recoat/paint they can add sand to the mixture to prevent it being slick from rain. Of course I was wearing Hey Dudes when I first visited/had that issue. Overall, its a really cute place. Its great for a picnic date with a cute/good walk to help break ice/provide talking points!! Overall 4 stars because theres nothing that makes me/others in our party go I LOVE it but we did like it!

A more tranquil part of the park for sure, a good spot to reflect, mediate, or just have a walk with a conversation.. the fountain area, on the other hand, shows its age and lack of upgrades as it was the only part that didnt see any renovations when the others did but still a good place to get away from the ruckus else where in the park...

This is a great place to see wildflowers, birds and walk on the trails while admiring nature. Perfect spot to relax and do nature photography. There is a playground nearby so it s a great place to visit with little kids and the whole family. Parking is available nearby as well as public restrooms.

This should be a family friendly place, but I was embarrassed to have my daughter see a grown woman squatting down in the middle of the road with her pants down, peeing! Unbelievable. She looked drunk... and this was at 5pm! Not taking my family there ever again.

Love this little park area, there is a path that leads to small trails that weave into forested area and back. The best time for flora is obviously springtime; bluebonnets, Indian paintbrush, and many other wildflowers flood this small little hilly space! I like to go for small walks all the time though!
