Fun facts
This park is a reserve park, meaning amenities will be developed in the future.
History
On June 12, 2001, City Council accepted 2.22 acres from developer Bill H. Bowman for the dedication of Trail Lake Estates Park. The park was acquired to connect to a parcel that would be dedicated in the future by the developers of Ridgeview, and the total park size will be 6.05 acres.[1] As of 2024, the park has 4.58 acres.

Geology
The geology is Grayson Marl and Main Street Limestone of the Cretaceous. Grayson Marl consists of greenish-gray thinly interbedded limestone with nodular bits of shale, sand and fossiliferous material. The Main Street Limestone is hard, thin interbedded gray and white layers.
Soils
Soils consist of the Purves series of moderately alkaline calcareous composition, while the Bolar series on the north end of the park is more loamy and well-drained.
Ecology
Trees are not present at the park, as it was historically a prairie and more recently rangeland. Typical species that would grow on these soils are live oaks and mesquite. Grasses historically found on this soil are little bluestem, indiangrass, buffalograss and many mixedgrass species found on Fort Worth Prairie sites.
