Confirmed from Benbrook Ranch Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Baseball and soccer fields and a skateboard park in a clean place.

Beautiful nature trail park with baseball field, playground and skateboard 🛹 pool.
I love how you feel like you are out in the woods when walking near the creek in this park. When in reality you are actually right between neighborhoods. I love the Osage orange trees and I'm so happy that they've left them there because everywhere else they have been cut down.
This is a nice, quiet park for families. Its not huge so don't expect to be blown away by the playground, but there's plenty of open field for flying kites, a walking path for a simple stroll, batting cages, and a vert park for skates/bikes for older kids and a pavilion.
This park is great. Baseball fields with bleachers, soccer and football fields, skate park, 2 clean clean bathrooms, 2 water fountains, long walking/running track. Trail connects to the neighborhoods. A lot of parking. Big seating under pavilion and nice playground. Dogs welcomed.
