Confirmed from Gussie Field Watterworth 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.

07/15/25: I needed a nice quiet place to decompress and have lunch. I forgot about this place, but I quickly was reminded of the subtle beauty so close to work. It was an ideal shaded place to enjoy. Thank you to the City of Farmers Branch for this jewel of park. Earlier review: A fun shaded area.
A little bit of everything, a nice little trail in a wooded area, a small playground area, nearby rose gardens, a gazebo style covered area with picnic tables and an adjacent creek with fishing permitted. Beautiful area to take photos
Such an amazing park! They have thought of everything! Swinging benches, a huge playground that s very creative, fountains, ponds, canals, a walk thru rose garden bridges that lead to unique neighborhoods, a picnic pavilion with huge very nice grills, plenty of shade.
This park is simply superb not just for the slides and swings but for the surroundings as a whole. Rose garden on one side and a beautiful lake with ducks swimming on the other and a couple of trails too for a nice peaceful walk. The kids can have some fun with their bikes and scooters in the trail!
