Birds Fort Trail Park

One of the best course for inline skating, cycling, jogging; trail track is wide and there are no crossings till cimmaron park in the north.

Such a great area to run, bike or walk or dog! Super clean park and feels very safe. The trash is always picked up and I have seen many families and couples walking and working out together. Perfect little park

Awesome paved trail to go running or biking. Does not have a lot of trees though for shade so keep that in mind. It was really hot when I went, so I appreciated the few bridges and trees to help shade away that sun. Also, I only saw a fountain at this park, in the beginning of my run. I wish that they had more fountains.
Once you park at Birds Fort, there is a shaded area, with 5 – 6 picnic tables. They do have porter pottys there for public use. They just need more water fountains please!

One of my favorite trails in the Las Colinas area! Always plenty of folks out there walking, running, and biking. It’s a great trail to come out and do your long runs if you are a distance runner like myself. Great scenery and makes the time pass quickly! Also water fountains and a pavilion if you want to just come to hang out.

I love that I found this park in the middle of Irving. It’s got a nice variety of scenery as it runs alongside the Trinity River. The only reason why I’m not giving it 5 stars is I didn’t see many restroom facilities or water fountains along the trail when I ran.
Will definitely be back.

Sometimes the places that you discover by pure accident turn out to be some of your favorite spots. I think that’s the scenario for my discovery of Birds Fort Trail Park. When I say «discover», I don’t mean that I’m the first to ever lay eyes on it… I mean that I really wasn’t looking for it, and I just happened to find it by accident (just like Christopher Columbus!).
I do a lot of work up in Irving, and whenever I’m there, and have to work later on that day, I don’t feel like driving all the way home to Dallas for a few minutes, and then fighting rush hour traffic to get back to work. These are the times when I need to waste a couple of hours and Birds Fort Trail Park is going to be the spot where I waste that time from now on!
The park is kept up very well. Campion trail winds right through it and frequently you see walkers, runners, and riders make their way through the area. To the people who use Katy Trail on a regular basis, if you ever want a change of pace, and don’t mind driving a few minutes out of the way, Campion Trail and Birds Fort Trail Park is a great option! Right off of the trail, there is a large pond where ducks are going nuts, flying and swimming. You have the perfect view of the ducks activity from benches lined along the trail. So peaceful and relaxing!
At the entry on Riverside Drive, there is a medium sized parking lot. There aren’t too many spaces, but while I was there it wasn’t close to being full so I don’t think parking would be an issue. There’s also a covered area that has a lot of picnic tables and benches underneath. A real nice place to come sit outside with your lunch and a book!
Whenever the weather is nice, and you want to enjoy the great outdoors, this is a good destination. This is a great discovery for me… it adds another option for me when I’m deciding on how to pass time in Irving!

Very pleasent place with lot of big trees. cityof irivng all the parks are very well maintained.

This is a nice park for a picnic or potluck event. Bear in mind the water fountain is out of order and there are no restrooms so you will should plan around those items, but the shelter and tables are modern and well kept, and there is very little road noise at the park so you can relax and hang out with friends. I will definitely be back.
