We're spending a couple of days in Plano, TX, to visit family and wanted to get out for a little exercise. The trails were well-maintained with lots of non-paved hikers only trails through the beautiful nature preserve. The preserve is well-used on the weekends, but there is lots of places to just enjoy the surroundings. Not a large area, but... More

Came here to bike one weekend on a pleasant day and there were several visitors. Going through the paved trails, we understood why.

On an elevated trail, there's a lookout point which has a good view... More

So this is THE place to go with the kids on a warm weekend day. There are lots of paved trails, a place to picnic, etc. But our very favorite, is hiking the endless trails into the woods and along the creek. So many amazing things to see and find. This one is a no brainer. However, on those nice... More

Our kids love the playground, and we love getting a walk in on the trails. There is so much to do here, and we also like bringing lunch and eating in one of the pavilions.

A refuge in the middle of a busy city. Hiking trails make you feel like you are far from people. Can get a little... ok a lot crowded on the main trails on the weekend.

My husband and I run in at Arbor Hills weekly. It is a beautiful park with miles of concrete and dirt trails. There is a playground for the kids and dogs are welcome. It is a beautiful retreat in the heart of the city.

I love to trail run and this place is awesome for that. They have designated running trails though the woods as well as bike trails. Plus concrete trails that are for both, I assume.

The park had a series of paved and unpaved walking trails. It was in the middle of Plano, but most of the time it was like we were in the country. Great place to jog, bike, hike, or walk your dog.
