    This review is about the Tall Pines area of Walnut Woods Metro Park specifically the Sweetgum Trail. I've been to this trail atleast 3 times. All in the summertime. I went today after a light snowfall. It's just as beautiful in the winter as it is in the summer. Just a different perspective.

    I've always loved this trail. So does my dog Patches. I don't know when they installed this new bird watching sitting area by Wild Birds Unlimited but I love it! Saw several different birds and it was so relaxing to sit at a picnic table nearby.

    Loved this Metro Park! I was astonished by the beauty of the pines and sweet gum treesโ€” absolutely breathtaking! Peaceful, quiet, immaculately maintained trails for hiking and biking. Saw various species of birds and all sorts of butterflies while hiking. Great little getaway! I spotted wheelchair accessible picnic tables, too, which I was excited about.

    I always love walking at the Tall Pines area. Actually I love walking all the trails. Nice flat trails which is wonderful for the physical challenged I saw a couple teaching their kids to ride a bike. This is a perfect safe place to do that.

    Very lovely park - well kept and my pups love walking the trails and playing at the dog park! The park ranger was also very kind and waited for my husband and me to get back to our car before exiting.

    Very good and fun. I hiked on the buckeye trail. Nice. 2 dog parks. Plenty of picnic tables. I also did the monarch and kestrel trails. Very long and only for the strong. You will need good shoes and time. Kestrel trail has ponds, observation deck, and swing. Go for it.

    Super easy paved trail. A little under water in one spot but not so much you couldnโ€™t get by. Tick alert so we stayed in the paved trail. We went in the early morning so it was not busy and nice and quiet. There is a parking lot that has plenty of parking. No restroom facilities but does have a porta john on site. It was big and not too gross (as they can be) and had hand sanitizer which was nice. I recommend this park. We were able to make it a 3 mile walk. By using the loop through to make a figure eight. We came from Dublin so it was also a nice drive.

    This is a relatively new park with lots of geometrically planted trees - itโ€™s a bit odd, but beautiful in a planned kind of way. It features long paved trails looping around the park and through meadows and two dog parks (for large and small dogs.)

    Great spot for engagement photos! you have to walk about a mile to get to the pines. If youโ€™re looking for symmetry itโ€™s within the pines, not from the walk way

    Beautiful park over-all. As most have commented, its mostly "undeveloped" providing a great habitat for the wildlife. Great picture opportunities for nature photographers, especially for plants, insects or birds. The center section of the park has bike trail along the north end, that connects the Tall Pines area on the west, with the other area with dog park on the east. In this center section is an Osprey nest and the birds can be frequently seen either flying, fishing or eating. The attached photo was taken from a cell phone, through a cheaper spotting scope (the color is a little off and chromatic aberration is from the scope) but does give a decent idea of what to look for if you wish to photograph the birds. Enjoy!

    Very surprised by this park! Nice paved trails that are suitable for running. I like it a lot and will add this park to my daily runs. Very close to three creeks metro park so if you enjoy the outdoors you can do both in one day. They are 5 minutes apart by car.

    Amazing park and great place to walk our dogs. Paths are paved for the most part and very dog friendly. Great place for a picnic with beautiful scenery. Only item to address is more trash cans for waste. Park is alway immaculate and itโ€™s because everyone is respectful and carry their trash with them through the whole walk. I know trash cans may take way from the scenery and it would be nice to have at least one during the trail

    Very lovely park. We did the Buckeye, Monarch, and Kestrel trails. Very well maintained. Before setting off on our hike, the Ranger on duty was very informative on the area and shared insight on the frogs/salamanders currently out. She also warned us of the water on one of the trails. The playground area was also well maintained and had neat climbing rocks, a tire swing, and various other things children could climb on and play. The dog parks also looked great and we can't wait to bring our dog next time.

๐Ÿ‘ The creek is a lot of fun! They have some smaller playgrounds that arenโ€™t great honestly, but they have a new-ish one thatโ€™s nice, my kids love the newest one. I wish theyโ€™d add some more up-to-date playgrounds! They have shelters that you can reserve for parties, all but the one next to the newest...
