The preserve is located at 5201 Bowman Springs Road in Arlington, Texas (GPS coordinates 32°39’44.1″N, 97°13’23.4″W). It is easiest to get there from I-20 to the north or from Kennedale Pkwy. to the southwest.
It is open from 5:00am to 10:00pm. Except during planned events, there are no staff or volunteers present, and note that there are no restroom facilities at the preserve. Arlington Parks & Recreation Department rules can be seen in the photo – please note that no horses, bicycles, or motorized vehicles are allowed on trails, and dogs must be kept on a leash.
We recommend that visitors wear sturdy shoes and bring water, especially during summer. You might consider binoculars or a camera with zoom lens for birding or to get a good look at the turtles in the ponds. You may get a very close look at wildlife such as lizards or dragonflies, but please remember you cannot capture, pick, or dig up any living things. We hope you will “leave no trace.”
