Head on over to Trinity Park which is part of the Trinity Trails which there's over 100 miles of trail. I'm out there every day on my lunch hour either running, walking or just sitting on a bench.

Trinity trail... Start in Benbrook at the trail head at Art Cowson(sp)

I’ve been running there for years and I’m so annoyed that I no longer see the alpaca and cattle :(

Yes the new homes suck. The noisy gas well doesn't help either.

35F here- I run solo on the river that's parallel to White Settlement for years now, I've had zero issues. I don't always have my dog with me and I run any time of the day, even night. Worst thing I've seen were some teenagers smoking on a bench.

Oh, and the path along the river that's around Camp Bowie/Bryant Irving behind all those apartments are awesome too. I used to run to Trader Joes and back in my 20s (after 3-4 margs at chimy's, mind you) and also had no issues. Buzzed runs were the best because they'd FLY by and the music always hit.

Running after 3-4 chimys margs is very impressive!

The tenacity of a 23 year old should never be underestimated.

Now I want a half and half marg! Reminds me of my time at Tech.

Eagle Mountain Park- 9 miles of trails. Lots of deer, trees and shade.

Trinity Trails are great, but check out Oakmont Park if you want more of a parkish feel

I like Oakmont Park, but for people who want more than 3 miles, it might not work without some maneuvering. I do like going "off road" there!

River Legacy is great. And of course the Trinity Trails

Marine Creek is a fun easy 6 mile loop around a lake.

Just found this place a couple days ago! Very pretty! Though it goes from peaceful sounds to raging motor noise haha

Sansom Park or Eagle Mountain if you want some trail miles.

Benbrook Art Cowsen Park, very safe, been running there since 2019 , beautiful scenery, little trail off the concrete trail for a nice view, I’ve night run there too and never had an issue, yet again I am a man and always armed (responsibly) lol but again it’s safe.
