Elmer W. Oliver Nature Park

Really nice park and trail. Has lots of birds, variety of trees for good bird watching. I saw 6 different varieties today easily without binoculars. Great for dogs, trail walking and has some ponds and a creek.

This place has Bluebonnets!!! The trails are wide. The trees are beautiful. The bathrooms are clean. They've got these awesome areas you can bird watch at. My group did a loop and really enjoyed ourselves! We went on a Sunday evening and it wasn't busy.

Great park with walkable trails throughout. Lots of shade so you can enjoy during the summer as well.

The Mansfield Parks department frequently does events and classes at the park. I recommend the classes to anyone interested!

Great park to walk with your family and critters. Scenic and informative nature trail. About 2 miles if you follow the unpaved trail/ loop around the park. Dog and owner approved!

We watched the 2024 eclipse here and then took a hike around the trails. There was ample parking, of course it was stressed a little with the amount of traffic for the event, but we still were able to park safely and conveniently. There are nice restrooms. The trails are well kept and there was a good amount to see and explore. The only beef I could come up with are the maps on the signs around the trails. They place them in orientations that make no sense to which way you are facing while looking at the map.

Lots of wildlife. The park has done a great job of keeping a lot of it untouched. I will be coming back!

This is my favorite park. It’s so well maintained and there are gorgeous wild flowers all around that bloom throughout the year. The pathways are clear and way to walk and there are so many paths, lookouts and spots to enjoy it’s always highly requested by clients!

Great place to walk. Water station and bathroom. All the trails are wide. Interesting history and nature signs

This place is absolutely beautiful. It’s safe very well kept and peaceful. It’s very family oriented with plenty of beautiful photo opportunities. If you are looking for a great place to take a walk, walk your dog or simple just to sit and relax. This park hits all those points and more. A real gem.

What an amazing park! So much to see with extensive hiking trails! A lot of great places to do a photoshoot of any variety. Its dog friendly and a very safe park. Don't forget to look for the hidden painted rocks in the area! Also bring a fishing pole incase you get hungry. The blue bonnet fields are absolutely gorgeous

Great mature trail. Lots.of historical markers. The kids and I had a fun time walking the trail.

Perfect place to take your family for a walk in nature, it is dog friendly and has plenty of space on walking trails!

Walking through nature. You can feel the creation of God. Listening to birds chirping. You can add another 30 min if you walk through linear park. You can see the entrance in the pictures. Enjoy nature.

I love taking my remote-work calls while walking these trails, there is plenty of shade to make it comfortable when the outside temperature is up to 90° - the max I can stand at least. There's way more forest than I expected when I first visited.

I absolutely love Oliver Nature Park. It's the perfect place to enjoy beautiful weather and nature as a whole. There's plenty of room bathrooms, trails, and sightseeing in the nature park. You can enjoy a nice picnic or have a nice game of tag! It's properly maintained too. This is a great spot to get a nice job or walk in!

I live in walking distance of this wonderful park! How lucky am I?! It’s quiet, beautifully maintained, and lots to see- ponds, flowers, wildlife (snakes and even armadillos!) there are usually quite a few people there walking around and I have felt safe walking by myself.

Great trail to take the kiddos. Had fun walking. Will hit the whole trail which is huge.

Loved this beautiful park, but with so many garbage cans around it's a shame people just throw their rubbish around. Other than that I loved the beautiful trails and wild life, will be back soon.

I love this nature park. It is well-cared for, beautiful and a wonderful escape from the city. I love walking the trails.

My mother-in-law uses a Quantum Edge power wheelchair. The front part of the park has paved sidewalks and is very accessible by a person in a wheelchair. The unpaved paths are much less accessible in a wheelchair. That being said my mother-in-law did safely navigate some of the paths to get to the treehouse.

Honestly I would recommend anyone in a wheelchair-power or manual to try that. We did it and we had 4 able bodied adults and 5 kids 8 and younger. It is possible but again, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Lovely park with beautiful dirt trails, and lots of trees. There’s a small pond that’s a peaceful resting stop, with picnic tables nearby. You can tell that the bathrooms have been recently updated, because they are so nice and CLEAN. I was honestly shocked by how spotless they were. I look forward to taking my kids back here soon!
