Confirmed from Carrollton Greenbelt 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.

Carrollton has a very nice park system with miles of hike & bike trails.. First class...

★★★★★ — Dallas , Jun 2023

Clean, picnic tables, you can walk around the little stream. Right behind a apartment complex but it's quiet and nice. I dont see anything for kids to play on, but it's wide and open. Not what what we were expecting but nice none the less.

★★★★☆ — Tressa , Mar 2025

This is a nice park with a stream running through. You can play disc games, ball, cook out, and enjoy the calm beauty. It runs through Carrollton with E Z access and parking. It is not a playground but just north of Trinity Mills they have slides and merry-go-rounds, tennis courts, but no stream.

★★★★★ — Janet , Feb 2024

Walked along the orange trail and watched people playing disc golf. Parked at Tree Line Park and crossed the bridge Saw some egrets along the way. Not much shade on the trail so walking here on a cooler day would be better. Next would like to explore the blue trail. Continuing to appreciate the public spaces in DFW

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
