Hyland Forest Park

Great hiking trails in the middle of town. Cute little pond for ducks and what not, areas for the kids to play in the dirt and build with branches. Easy enough that a stroller with some suspension (like a Bob) could go on all the trails. Not great for a wheelchair.

Great place to walk, run, ride, with a nature play area to build forts with logs, branches, and sticks. The outside loop is about a mile. The park is super lush and occasionally we run into deer, ducks, and other wild life. Easiest parking, Southwest Sexton Mountain Drive & Southwest Maverick Terrace.

A nice forest with plenty of paths if you want to avoid other people. People do frequent it but it's not too populated. There are several pet waste stations posted about the area as well if you forget a bag. Can get a bit muddy in the wet weather.

I love this place. I used to live right next door, but now I have to drive a couple miles. It is well worth it. I fell in March over a big tree root, and cracked my rib, so you have to be looking at your feet and go slow because they are everywhere. Still, even with the tree roots and the sound of a coyote I heard yesterday, it wont keep us away. Hyland park forest is a sanctuary for the soul searcher with hidden gnome homes placed by children. My dog loves it! Saw my first ever Owl too. He was huge!

Great walking trails, always friendly people but never too busy, and my dog loves it here. Right in our neighborhood, too. There’s even a designated Nature Play Area where you can explore and play IN the goodness, off trail! There’s always some different, cool structures that somebody’s built there with sticks and such.
