It's a nicely maintained park... More

This is a great park. Most of it is shaded so it is an ideal spot to walk, run, or bike in the summer. There is a play area for the kids and over 16 miles of concrete trails if you go out and back. There is also an easy mountain bike trail that is about 7 miles long. Lots... More

It's marked well in mileage and adds beauty to an otherwise boring bit of exercise. More

I go to River Legacy Park almost every Sunday to rollerblade and while it is an amazing park for the locals and those of us nearby, it is not really an attraction, as such.

I used to take my girls here when they were little and now take my grand baby. This is a beautiful park and very peaceful. This place is very big so if you want to be alone you will be able to find a spot. I go by myself just to sit and watch people playing or walking and gather... More
