Confirmed from Forney Community 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.
Neighborhood green space & events venue w/a splash pad, a play area, sports courts & a walking path.
What runners say about Forney Community Park
“I wish they would clean the park more throughly like sharp objects may be in the sandbox occasionally but outside out that, it's a fairly enjoyable park to attend.”
“I can now confirm the blue jay bird knows me and my boyfriend🤗🤗🤗 there’s lots of different birds and they are all so beautiful!”
This was a pleasant and unexpected stop on our trip—I didn’t get to explore the whole park, but I’m glad we found it! We had our dog with us and needed a good spot to stop after grabbing some Chick-fil-A, and this park came through.
My kids love this park! They have a spray park in the hot summer. The playground is right next to the spray ground. So when it is hot the kids can go back and forth to both. There is also a nice strip of cement around the play area. So for older kids you could walk and they can play. It is also great for strollers.
Our neighborhood park! We come here 1-2 times a week and love to bird watch (that’s why there are lots of bird videos😊) ! I can now confirm the blue jay bird knows me and my boyfriend🤗🤗🤗 there’s lots of different birds and they are all so beautiful!
We visit this park at least once a week! We love walking around the entire park with the kids. They always have nice events and we always take advantage of the free movies during the summer!!! This park is aesthetically pleasing and wonderful during the holidays!!!
Trail conditions & character
“BJ, Braydon, Jakari were so amazing and courteous and they were even kind enough to offer pup cups for my dogs and they loved it!”
“Restrooms were easy to find, although we didn’t use them.”
