Hurst Community Park — Attraction in Hurst

Great park! Very clean with lots of trash cans, doggie stations and even a couple porta johns. Baseball, soccer, open fields, sand volleyball, handicap-accessible playground (there is a special swing you can put a baby in and swing with them) and wooded walking trail area. I was most interested in the wooded part, as you can see by my pictures and I was also very impressed. The paved trails are wide enough for two wheelchairs to roll side by side and allow a person to pass going the other way. There are also a lot of unpaved paths winding through the trees that are easy to traverse and hard to get lost in, and even a couple secluded campfire areas.

We are not satan worshipers and we do our very best to maintain the park to a clean and friendly environment for everyone, even the people that do not play amtgard.

The only issue I have with the park is the restroom facilities. I would love to see a nice restroom facility built one day with proper functioning restrooms. I think that would really drive in more people to stay longer and not go to the gas station down the street just to...

Second visit. Expecting the lights to turn on at a set time helped. The big note for the update is to be sure to reserve the space with the City. A church group showed up and tried to take over but we had the reservation and they moved on. Pay thr fee to ensure you get to use the space!
