O.S. Gray Natural Area

Great area for short walk and playtime. The playground has a smaller jungle gym that toddlers can manage (with adult supervision still).

Beautifully shaded park with on and off trails for walk and run. I ran around 2 laps for one mile to give you an idea. They have swings and slides for the little ones as well. The shade helps to provide some coolness if it’s sunny. Definitely worth checking out. Only con I can think of is it’s not a big park if you want to get a long trail run.

Small playground, paved walking paths. Used to be part of a pecan orchard and there are a variety of pecan & hickory trees still growing there. Definitely more a nature park than a playground park, which is so nice. Be aware that there is a lot of Poison Ivy growing on the sides of the path. Especially coming from the playground and taking the path to the right. It's a native plant and grows wherever it can, so learn what it looks like and keep kids & dogs out of it. Great place to look for plants & bugs! **My first 3 photos show the Poison Ivy just to he sides of the paths!

I like this park a lot, but... Since I am disabled, I am keenly aware of the limited number of handicapped parking spaces. That is why it's a particular shame when the Arlington Parks Department drops one of their trailers into a handicapped space. (See photo.) Convenient for them, maybe, but a real pain in the neck for those of us with very limited mobility. And it sure sets a bad example.

A charming little park with surprisingly good nature walks in the middle of Arlington.
