    Nice walk in the woods and an educational token of a naturally occurring iron ore deposit right here in my back yard!

    We found this little hidden gem few years ago. Kids love it there, it's quiet, there are walking trails, and very comfortable area for fishing.

    It's a little hidden gem right near the freeway. Early morning is the best time to come by and see wildlife and spectacular sunrises.

    A great place to hike as well as fish. My husband loves doing some catch-and release-fishing here when we have time. The little hiking trails they have make for a pretty walk as well. I wish there were more shaded areas by the fishing/pond docks, but it is a pretty nature preserve none the less.

    This is a great place to go for a walk or to go fishing. It just needs to be maintained better, the grass is very high at the moment.

    Some of the best natural beauty in DFW. Great sights wonderful for a light hike. Don't forget to stop by Burger Box in Kennedale to complete the day.

    Fun fact the big hill that makes up a majority of the park is known as Kennedale mountain locally.

    Southwest Nature Preserve is one amazing spot. Situated right on the border of Arlington and Kennedale, this venue has recently been given new trails to hike (the city fixed a mudslide problem at the start of the longest trail), 4 ponds that allow catch-and-release fishing, and derelict apartment foundations to explore. And to top it all off, complimentary Doggie Doo bags are provided at the trailhead of each path. Go out and explore SWNP!!

    Just on the western edge of Arlington, Texas, near Kennedale, this small preserve has very nice walking trails and several ponds where you can do some catch and release fishing. The southeast corner of the preserve is a high-elevated knob that forms a shelf of red rock. It's the perfect place to rest or picnic and while looking over the treetops at a beautiful view of Fort Worth in the distance. The main trails are well defined, and it appears that there are more trails in development. There are three or four ponds where you can fish, and my son and I caught several Bluegills around the pier of the southernmost pond. The water was fairly clear in all the ponds, and we could see several fairly large Bluegills lazing around weed beds in the largest pond from the shore. When I took my family yesterday (mid November), the park was very clean and well maintained. If you want quiet family time in nature and live in around Arlington or eastern Fort Worth, but you don't want to drive too far or pay a mint for entry fees, give this nice little preserve a try. There's plenty of nature to see, and fish to catch (and release!).
