Confirmed from Cross Timbers Park South'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.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 3 mentions

“An excellent and beautiful park.”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 4 mentions

“It's so beautiful and serene.”

It's a small part but it's it's nice as basketball hoops is Hazard a riding path for bikes and Scott jungle gym equipment so it's not a bad place it's near swimming pool that opens during the summer at this point is not open but it's a nice little Park just to go to and relax

★★★★★ — Mark , May 2019

I love this walking loop. This area does retain a lot of water after it rains, so drainage could be better. It will be nice when all of the play areas are open again.

★★★★★ — E , May 2020

A nice little park. The playground equipment is a little dated, but there is a nice walking path, a basketball court, & a volleyball court.

★★★★☆ — Jonathan , Mar 2022

Lovely time with our granddaughter! She had a blast on the playground equipment. Lots of families enjoying the park and walking trail.

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.
