We love this park! Every time we go we take a different trail and its like a new adventure everytime. The landscape is pretty and its not so crowded that you are constantly walking close to another group. Hardly anyone wears a mask when in close encounters and there are a lot of people at sunset taking family photos making parking hard to come by.

Lots of nice nature trails and enough landmarks to make stops interesting and have things to look forward to. Ponds allows for fishing. There are future plans for an educational center and new trails.

Love this park very clean an it has lots to walk which is very nice along with the pond areas..my dog also enjoyed it!! Very dog friendly ️.Parking is nice there is a bathroom as well when you first pull up an sitting areas as well.

Today I have the opportunity to visit Elmer W. Oliver Nature Park, the first thing I say from my mouth is that WOW this park is so beautiful. This park has many large trees and shade, and tables where we can have a picnic here with the whole family. I really like this park, thank you for the donation of the land, and the people who made this Elmer W. Oliver Nature Park.

Overall good walk. Saw a big bobcat. Too many people though.

Small, but immersive. Overlooks, platform path, and restrooms are all excellent. Mostly shaded.PSA: confetti is bad for the environment and certainly does not belong in a preserve. Someone trampled prairie grasses and littered the area with micro plastics. Probably for their baby shower, sweet 16, or some other similar nonsense. RESPECT PUBLIC SPACES

I think my sidekick Rusty the Aussie would give this park a 5 star rating. He whimpers when we get close to the park. LOL. Super nice park. Great trails. Peaceful. Well maintained.

Lots of trails, but only about a mile or so if you wind through all the trails for the small park. The surface is mainly a small rock surface. There is a linear greenway along a creek which adds another mile or so and it is concrete.Great for families with the pond and different stations throughout the park. There is no play structure but plenty of walking space.The restrooms are clean. There were many dogs but everyone had picked up after their pet. It was busy. I showed up about 7:30 am on a Saturday and parking lot was about half full. When I left about 9 am there were people driving around with no parking spots available.

Nice park. It has 2 ponds, a semi open field covered by trees and a trail into the woods. Theres also a paved concrete walk path for those who do not want to venture into the unpaved trail. No playground.

My family loves this local park and nature trail. Not so many live animals but a nice walk. Also connect to a linear trail for a longer walk

Very nice and well kept park. Nice trails and well marked directions. Exhuberant nature, lots of bridges and nature sighting. Would recommend it to anyone, ideal for family outings

One of my favorite parks of all time. The city continually makes updates and recent connections to new linear paths and parks only makes it better. Be sure to check the butterfly garden when the season is right.

Lovely park with beautiful dirt trails, and lots of trees. There’s a small pond that’s a peaceful resting stop, with picnic tables nearby. You can tell that the bathrooms have been recently updated, because they are so nice and CLEAN. I was honestly shocked by how spotless they were. I look forward to taking my kids back here soon!

I love this park. It is like you step out of the city into nature. You see all kind of critters if you look closely. We have seen birds, ducks, rabbit, possum, squirrels, lizards, and bull frogs.

I love the walking trails. Alot of shade. My 4 year old grandson loves to show me how the maps work... lol. Very clean and well maintained. Benches along the way for those who need to sit for a minute. A great place for all ages

Because the fact that I cant believe these so called owners on the opposite side of the park have cut off residents and sightseers who come into town and get a chance to look at natural nature and a wonderful hike cut off from the people who pay taxes on the park cant even see that park to enjoy. Because of ongoing ridiculous litigation on it. Well they need to look closer to home if its if its vandalism or other such things. Because those owners have actual connection to the park than the park goers themselves just saying. Its just really sad. We recently visited the park since it first opened. And we couldnt visit that part and take updated pics. Another missed opportunity to create memories because isnt that what life is all about? All we wanted to do is go down memory lane together and take our pictures together. Because we are not promised tomorrow.

Nice facility, and when they say nature park they mean NATURE, we saw coyotes running across the trail.

Nice nature park with a pond and creek. I do wish the main trail signage was better. There are several offshoots going to the creek, etc so I was never sure if I was on the main loop. Please consider adding additional way finding!

Very nice environment. Was very full parking lot.

It was a amazing place to take the dogs on a walk but I would say that you should make a volunteer section

Its a good little park. Nice walking trails. Little ponds are covered in some kind of mossy sludge.

As a photographer this magnificent park is a big Hotspot for my customers outdoor portraits and very popular amongst the community. Its beautiful scenery gives that special look to all the portraits Ive photographed there!

Great trails. Beautiful place to take outdoor photos

Great nature trails and perfect for whole family. Lots of photo opportunities!

Such a nice nature park. There are plenty of benches and tables to have a picnic or have a sit and relax. The board walk makes the park accessible. The tree house over look is fun to explore and look over the trees.The trails are well maintained and the spring and summer is incredible with all the flowers. The butterfly garden is a lot of fun. I would say that parts of this park are wheelchair accessible but the gravel trails would be challenging for power and manual wheelchair users.

Great place for a nice family outing. Very informative about the various sightings in the park

Really nice place. Mediated the fo 20 min and was awesome. Saw a juvenile crown night heron. Pretty awesome.

Nice place to get out in Nature and still be able to social distance.

It’s a great park!! But I wish people would pick up after their dogs, it’s annoying. It’s not that hard when they provide lots off mutt mitt stations, yet owners are still too lazy to be a responsible owner. PLEASE PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOGS.

Great place for a nature walk, our dog loves it. There are snakes that come out when it gets dark, but thats to be expected. They offer lots of programs for kids and a few for adults as well.

Great place for a walk with your furrbabies

Nice shaded well maintained trails. I love it out here.I do wish more dog owners were responsible and cleaned up after their pets, but thats on those garbage individuals not the park.

Very nice clean park, enjoyed it very much and so did my son.

Its a wonderful environment. My wife and I enjoy our daily walks.

Its great to be in contact with nature inside the city. Lots of shade, well maintained.

Great for a nature walk with the kids. Really impressed, very nice park. Frequently busy, draws crowds.

Great park made better recently after significant extension of the walking trail.

We came here just to park and eat our dinner. Sitting in nature, even in the car, was very therapeutic. Definitely a place Ill be visiting with my bike!

Great park with unpaved trails. Creek overview and 2 ponds

Best park in mansfield with granite trails perfect to walk on and to enjoy nature.We enjoy the peace and quiet and the scenery.The staff is great and even after a hard rain they work hard to get it back in shape. No easy task.5 stars easy.

Park was very very nice. I only gave it a 3 star because I road a bike 15 plus miles and brought my cameras to take pictures but bikes are not allowed on trails and there was no way to secure it. This may be a bit unfair. Besides this point the park was very nice but a bit overcrowded.

Originally thought it would be a small park without much to offer but it had loads of squirrels, birds, Fireflies, turtles.. Definitely going to go back and spend more than just an hour! Great place for kids too easy walks its easy to navigate. Loved it.

Great trails for hiking and biking and for some strange reason no bikes allowed

I was visiting my sister to get away from Hurricane Michael. I went for a walk because my sister lives right up the street from the park. It was so peaceful and lovely. It was so picture perfect. And the maps and signs made it easy for visitors to find their way around. Great if you love photo opps as well.

Beautiful Nature park feels good thats opened up to the public. loved it. hope to come back again.

Beautiful park with nice trails and look outs. Family and dog friendly!

Great place for some away from the city walking. Saw some wildlife. Watch out for copperheads..

Go in April for the blue bonnets but it was lovely even in May. Lots if bird spotting and different butterflies flitting around other wildflowers. Woods ans fields have paths accessible to all.

Great place for my daughter to explore nature!

Great place to do photo shoots! Also great place to go hiking or just do both.

Great place to take a walk, hike, or just take cute pictures ... you wont regret it

Great park for photography and walking.

Beautiful Trail.....took our boys on a walk and they were able to reload at poke stops and collect lots of Pokémon

Very beautiful place, tones to see if you keep your eyes open.

More trails added on recently! They now extend from Matlock road to 360. And it stays open until 9pm.

Great walking/hiking trails..

Great paths. Great signs

Perfect location. Has beautiful walking trails which they maintain nicely. Quiet places to just sit and relax. The restrooms are above satisfactory when it comes to being cleaned and well stocked.

Love this park. Its nice and well kept with nice bathrooms even later on down the trail. Great place to relax or play Pokemon GO, theres one spot where you can stand and hit 3 stops!Sometimes you can find painted rocks that people paint. You can take them or re-hide them for the next person! I painted some Pokemon ones and hid them around. Great fun.

I love this park I love that it has trees and benches but most of all that I can bring my dog

Beautiful park. Happy its right down the street!

Love this park. Its a fav!!! You run into friendly people and their furry companions and see lots of wild life.

Great place to walk trails !

My favorite park to walk. Lots to explore. I find something new every time. Great place for family/kid photos. Fishing from two ponds. Some days it is a great place to find painted rocks from the Mansfield Rocks group.

Pretty park. Packing was an issue

Short visit, but beautiful scenery, has fishing and picnic tables, plus has an amphitheatre.

Great place to relax, walk, and just enjoy nature and the day.

One of my favorite places to spend a afternoon reading beside the pond or just walking in the trails. Can count on this park always being clean and well-kept

This park is well maintained and has nice scenery. I wish the nature trails were longer in total mileage and that there were multiple significant inclines or some nice scenic overlooks. I got the impression that most of the trails and park could be explored in about an hour without walking fast.

Amazing park! I absolutely love the trails and the information presented on little signs scattered throughout the park. The bathrooms are clean and the trails are clear and not overgrown. If I had to put in a suggestion I would say do something about the creek to make it a bigger part of the park or add a little garden. Great place to visit if you’re in Mansfield!

Only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is because the water fountains never work.

Great park. Trails are kept very clean!

Wonderful park, trails, and sidewalks for riding our bikes!

Really cool place with a lot of Shady Trails. But people please pick up your dog $h!t

Enjoyed a great breakfast from our place in peace

It really is all beautiful nature...!

Great trail to walk, lots of shade.

Great place to go take a walk.

A beautiful park that we have only begun exploring. A portion of it is closed due to bad neighbors, and a sign makes this very clear. We look forward to seeing more of it. There are several Pokemon GO stops and a gym too.

I didn’t think I would like a park by seeing pictures but it’s very breathtaking once you’re there. I love how there’s a small pond by the entrance of the trails where one can fish & release. One thing I would say is to bring mosquito repellent because they are flying everywhere. The river was quite and peaceful to be around for some time.

Wonderful public events and classes. Very well maintained, great spot for bird watching.

They call this the Tree House! Its pretty much right next door to our house. Its the Mansfield Nature Park. You dont think of this when you think of Texas! Its really a treat to walk through this park! Mansfield These images show how well planned this park was created. There are signs along the trails to let you know where you are in case of a need 911 call, trail maps, restrooms, mutt mitts for cleaning up after your dog and lots of little coves with benches to relax and take it all in.

Absolutely beautiful park, with plenty of opportunity for walking. Trails could be a little better marked, but still a great way to enjoy nature.

This a great kept secret in Mansfield!

Love this park. Its a beautiful place to walk or ride a bike.

Tracks are still work in progress.

Beautiful park for a quick stroll in nature.

This is a very beautiful park in Mansfield, Texas. There are plenty of activities to partake in if you are a semi-active person. There are many trails to either walk or bike ride with a beautiful background of trees and water. Restrooms here were clean and centralized in the park. This park is very safe for families and has picnic tables for eating. I really appreciated how clean the park is kept. This is a great place to relax, get exercise in or enjoy family recreation.

This place is the hidden gem of Mansfield! It is beautiful and huge. Our first time here was with our Girl Scouts Troop. We had a tour guide who had been employed here for more than 5 years (again, I cannot believe I never knew of this place and I live nearby). As we walked throughout the park, I couldnt help but notice how well kept and clean it is. Everything is tidy and in perfect order. There are fields of flowers and trees. Also, wooden, gravel, concrete, and dirt walk ways. Many visitors had dogs on the trails. A few pathways were a little more narrow so be cautious of what you brush up against because there is poison ivy. There are picnic tables and restrooms, which makes it great when you have children.

Awesome trails to walk!

Beautiful nature park with lots of recent expansion. Take the kids and its a great learning experience

Amazing trails I cant wait for Corona to be over!!

Love this little park. Beautifully kept, great place for family photos.

Love this park and all they have to offer. Did my cousin and her familys bluebonnet pictures here and they were beautiful. The wildflower area is a little bit of a walk to get to, but well worth it! So if you have littles, bring a wagon or a stroller to get them there if youre taking pictures, etc. Love all the hiking trails as well when not having to have pictures taken.

Awesome place to walk and run bicicle.

Surrounded by beautiful trees while walking or running. Perfect for some time with the natural world. Picnic areas and restrooms.

This place is a hidden gem in Arlington. Its well cared for and has good trails. I have gone fishing here a few times. There are two small ponds and there is access to walnut creek. It gets busy on Saturdays so come early if you want to avoid the crowds. Also be aware of poison ivy, there is a lot here just like every park in Texas.

Hands down my favorite park. Long trails, respectful visitors. Fishing, dog walking, wildlife spotting. Its all here.

Love going here for walks. Always feel safe. Beautiful & clean environment to relax and take pics.

Great place to walk in the woods. The trails are well maintained and easy to follow.
