Confirmed from Carl Levin 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.
This park offers sports facilities, an outdoor swimming pool, amphitheater & restrooms.
What runners say about Carl Levin Park
“Its expansive grounds are well-kept, featuring lush green lawns, mature trees, and a variety of flowering plants that provide a colorful display throughout the seasons.”
“It has beautiful scenery of the pond with the ducks walking around while walking on the trail around the whole community park.”
“I take the kids here a lot because the park is covered by a large canopy keeping the little ones from the sun.”
“This park offers a serene and beautifully maintained oasis for families, fitness enthusiasts, and nature lovers alike.”
“The playground equipment is modern, safe, and engaging for children of all ages, offering hours of entertainment.”
Great walking path. Playground is in good condition. Lots of shade with trees. Slides do get hot in the TX heat so be careful when the temps go up! Duck pond is pretty and quiet surprisingly so close to the freeway!
Carl Levin Park in Texas is an absolute treasure within the community, deserving of nothing less than a five-star review. This park offers a serene and beautifully maintained oasis for families, fitness enthusiasts, and nature lovers alike.
Park is always clean, community swimming pool with low cost to swim, two nice size parks, three tracks, many places to sit, big field to play, little pond to fish.
I love the area where I was able to see the animals I have not seen a goose up close so that was a change of scenery. Trail was decent it has exercise stations and it had a 1/4 Mile post so you should be able to keep up with how many miles you're running.
