West Fork

The West Fork of the Trinity River is what Ft. Worth calls the Trinity River. It is actually only half of the Trinity River, with the other half being the Elm Fork. The “Trinity River” starts at the confluence of the West Fork and the Elm Fork near the upstream end the levee system built to protect Dallas from river flooding. The West Fork segment of Trinity Nature Park begins in Grand Prairie on the west side of George Bush Tollway at Mike Lewis Park and ends at the confluence of the two forks of the river. The park’s recreation features in this sector are in both Grand Prairie and Irving.

A Grand Prairie park with numerous things to do, including basketball courts, a softball complex with four fields, a pavilion, and numerous picnic tables. The West Fork of the river is the northern boundary of the park.

42 - C.P. Waggoner Park

Just downstream from Mike Lewis Park and connected by a relatively new paved hike/bike trail, this Grand Prairie park features an extensive complex of youth baseball fields and a large picnic area.
