Confirmed from Cross Timbers 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.
City park with picnic tables and a playground, plus ball fields, trails, and a public restroom.

Nice trails. 2 miles paved around outside. Lots of dirt paths in the forest. Needs more benches and only one set of restrooms about 1 mile back are open.
Biker here. Love the hills. The one near the adventure park is a workout. Lots of shade and there are rabbits running through the woods. The trail itself is between 1.5 to 2 miles if you ride the entire loop.
