Confirmed from C Shane Wilbanks Trail'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.
Park offering paved and natural hiking trails alongside an irrigation pond and a lake.
What runners say about C Shane Wilbanks Trail
“This has been the venue of all time for Riley, nice dogs, clean, 100% fenced in with a nice gate - the ultimate dog park for many reasons.”
Begin this trail at the parking area near the soccer fields at Oak Grove Park. At this location, there is trail head signage and a large fenced in irrigation pond. C. Shane Wilbanks trail is one of the longer trails in the Grapevine Trail System. This trail offers a distance of 3.
One of the better places in Grapevine to take your dog(s) and have a good time. The kids love it too. Lots of parking as you can see, nice pond and fountain and benches with shade. You can go wrong here. Even without a dog, it is just fun to dog/people watch and relax.
This has been the venue of all time for Riley, nice dogs, clean, 100% fenced in with a nice gate - the ultimate dog park for many reasons....but the overwhelming reason was the pond. Wonderful to have the dogs run and play and swim. Marvelous. Just learned in May 2018 they are shutting down this dog park. Really sad.
Great place to enjoy the weather! Awesome trails to ride or walk. The lake keeps you a little cooler while it's in the triple digits!
