White Rock Creek Trail — Attraction in Addison

I've driven by this place hundreds of times and always wanted to check it out; so, when the GPS suggested this one on our hunt for a park I was stoked to finally see it!

However, we were genuinely confused by this place, as it's a public park (?) area in a very-much-private, upscale neighborhood. There's literally no parking. We drove through trying to find something, anything, but there's nothing. You either walk here because you already live here, or were walking along Belt Line Rd anyways.

Despite the obstacles, we persisted out of spite. We parked at a business across the incredibly busy street (be careful: there's no pedestrian safety anywhere nearby to assist in that crossing).

It was quaint. Very green and muddy, after all of this rain we've been getting. There are benches, a cute gazebo, and a little perch spot for what seems like fishing. The trail stops here, as its mid-point. The trail itself is shaded and lovely, winding through the nice neighborhood. Just be sure to stay out of the private...

Pretty, but Noisy and No Parking... The trail(concrete only) follows white rock creek with some nice sounds of water, although mixed with apparent airplane flight path(about every 5-10mins); and the only open area(grassy field) is right next to busy Beltline Rd. All streets in the neighborhood and near trailhead have 'No Parking Anytime' signs. Could park at Celestial Chruch and walk down, but not sure they are up for that? There are acres n acres of open area on the West side of trail that are unfortunately 'Private Property No Tresspassing' :-(

*If Addison was able to acquire that land it would be a beautiful, spacious, and functional park. And I would change rating to 4.5

P.S. - there is a beautiful and semi-secluded very short dirt trail crossing some creeks at the end of Celestial Rd. I would rate that area a 4 considering where located in...

I believe that I got some great pictures during my hike. The trail is in a nice area; there's beautiful homes, lots of shade, and it's nice to see the layers of earth on the side of the trail. I did not like that google maps could not direct me to an area for me to park. Maybe the trail was built to be easily accessible just to those who live in the area. It would be great if the trail had people to clean it up. There's trash along the entire waterway, a loose dog, and piles of branches that have either fallen or...
