Rivercrest Branch Greenbelt Park

Natural Escape

Situated on the east side of Garland, Texas, Rivercrest Branch Greenbelt Park offers a refreshing touch of nature in the urban landscape. This linear park spans 23.4 total acres (with 8.2 acres developed) and represents a green connector between Bob Hall Park and Rowlett Creek Preserve.

What makes this spot special is its unspoiled wooded setting. Rather than being overly manicured, the park maintains its natural character, creating a peaceful haven where local wildlife thrives and you can escape the typical city bustle. The preserved ecological balance here offers a genuine connection to nature that's increasingly hard to find.

Trails for Everyone

If you're looking for an easy stroll, the park's 0.3-mile concrete walking trail provides a smooth, accessible path meant for a quick morning walk or an evening wind-down. More adventurous? The park's unpaved hiking and biking trails invite you to venture deeper into the wooded areas. These natural paths let you get up close with native plants and possibly spot some local wildlife while enjoying a more rugged experience.

Simple Pleasures

Sometimes the best park experiences don't require fancy facilities. Rivercrest Branch offers picnic areas where you can spread out a blanket, enjoy a sandwich, or simply sit quietly with a book. These thoughtfully placed spots make perfect retreats for enjoying the natural surroundings while taking a moment to slow down and recharge.
